Karen Weston
- Barbara Weston: Marriage is hard.
- Karen Weston: That's one thing about mom and dad. You gotta tip your hat to anybody who can stay married that long.
- Ivy Weston: Karen, he killed himself.
- Violet Weston: Isn't there the TV commercial where the lady says: "Where is the meat?"
- Mattie Fae Aiken: Where is the meat?
- Karen Weston: Where is the beef?
- Violet Weston: [annoyed] Where's the meat? Where's the meat? Where's the meat? Meat, meat, where is the meat?
- Karen Weston: Things don't work out like you planned. Then, that pillow was a better husband than any real man I'd ever met. And you punish yourself, tell yourself it's your fault you can't find a good one. I don't know how well you remember Andrew. Do you remember Andrew?
- Barbara Weston: No, I remember.
- Karen Weston: Well, I loved him so intensely, so the things he did wrong were just opportunities for me to make things right. When he would cheat on me or call me a cunt, I'd say, "No, love is forever - and this is just an opportunity to make an adjustment in the way you view the world." And thank God, I just looked in the mirror and said, "Moron," and walked out. But, one day, I finally, I said, "It's me, it's just me. I don't need anything else, I can live my life with myself."
- Karen Weston: You can't plan the future. You just can't. Cause as soon as you do, something happens, some terrible thing happens.
- Barbara Weston: Like your father drowning himself.
- Karen Weston: That's exactly what I mean. You take it as it comes, here and now!
- Barbara Weston: She smuggled Darvocet into the psych ward - in her vagina. That's the Greatest Generation for you. She's givin' us this speech while she's - clenching a bottle of pills in her cooch.
- Karen Weston: I never heard this story.
- Ivy Weston: Did you just say "cooch"?
- Barbara Weston: The phrase "Mom's pussy" seems gauche.
- Karen Weston: I'm no angel myself. I've done some things I'm not proud of. Things you'll *never* know about. And I may even have to do some things I'm not proud of again. Cause, life just puts you in a corner that way.
