Quotes 

• Alice : What about the social workers?

  Justine : They would if we was there.

• Justine : Maybe there's some good in all that basket stuff.

  Alice : You're just glad you're not gonna have a baby.

  [relieved after her pregnancy test] 

• Mollie : Can I see it?

  [Alice goes to her bag and pulls out a basket] 

  Mollie : Goddamn my eyes. This is really a tight weave. You did this, all by yourself? I don't know much but... well, I know the old people used to always try for a tight weave. My Auntie used to say that. You know this is nice Alice, people make a lot of money making those things.

  [looks at Justine curiously] 

  Justine : I'm taking up tennis.

• Justine : You know some Indians eat snakes. They do.

• Justine : Wish I could've had something like this on the rez. Then I could've been good at tennis.

  Mollie : Oh. Maybe I should say that about them huh? Why should I give a shit about either one of yah?

  [to Mollie] 

• Justine : Can't wait 'til tomorrow. Four-hundred guys!

  Jeanne : What do you mean?

  Justine : Well you said there's eight-hundred kids in the high school right? Half of 'em got to be guys. I'm just gonna walk up and down those halls picking 'em out. You and you.

  Jeanne : Think you're something don't yah?

  Justine : What's that supposed to mean?

  Jeanne : Well I don't know what it's like on the rez but around here, people think you're giving 'em attitude like you think you're cool, they're gonna kick your ass.

• Alice : What do you think's wrong with Jean?

  Justine : She has cancer, a brain tumor or something. She's weird.

  Alice : How do you know?

  Justine : She just is.

  Alice : I mean about the cancer, how do you know she's got it?

  Justine : 'Cause I asked her what was wrong with her.

  Alice : Is she gonna die?

  Justine : What do you think stupid? You get cancer you die.

• Justine : What'd you do follow me?

  Raymond : I've been trying to talk to you all day.

  Justine : I know.

  Raymond : Why haven't you said anything?

  Justine : What for? No one can change who we are.

  Raymond : It's just wierd. I still ahve all these feelings for you. It's just everything's so completely fucked up.

  Justine : Yeah, well that's the way my whole life's been. Everything always seems fucked up. Maybe it's different for you, you always get what you want. You should just grow up Raymond. I'm sorry I got a big mouth. It's hard. It really is.

  [starts tearing] 

  Raymond : Okay so what now?

  Justine : Friends? Are you still gonna teach me how to play tennis?

  [after finding out they're siblings]

  Jeanne : Like he wasn't pissed at your mom.

  Justine : I know. Sometimes I still want to be pissed at her. I guess 'cause I'm used to being pissed at her. But I can't no more.

  Jeanne : You gotta talk to her.

  Justine : I know.

  Jeanne : Yeah. Tell her it's alright she ain't perfect like you.
