    • Quotes

      Granny Goodness: Do you know, I've been always been able to tell an abandoned soul when I see one. It's a gift.

      Tess Mercer: Do the girls come here as - as babies?

      Granny Goodness: Unfortunately, tragedy strikes as it pleases. They come at any age.

      Tess Mercer: It must be difficult to find the older ones permanent homes.

      Granny Goodness: Well, the truth is, by the time I get my hands on the lost souls, they no longer have that cute baby scent childless couples yearn for.

      Tess Mercer: The children don't spend their entire childhood here, do they?

      Granny Goodness: Oh, mercy me. You make it sound like punishment.
