• Trudy Frank : [to Billie]  How dare you tell all your friends I'm a drunken potato-headed whore?

• Billie Frank : How do I know you don't badmouth me to your friends when I'm not there?

  Trudy Frank : Because, darling, when you're not here I forget all about you.

• Billie Frank : Mom, with you in A.A., are you sure it's a good idea to *drink*?

  Trudy Frank : Don't be ridiculous darling, it's always a good idea to drink.

• Trudy Frank : A drink without liquor? Oh, what's the point?

  Billie Frank : How about, driving your car legally, or maybe remembering your name... Or, not pursuing a liver at the age of fifty.

  Trudy Frank : Fifty? I beat the odds.

• Trudy : Because of me, you lived here, rent-free, for years.

  Billie : Mother, I was a child!

  Trudy : An ungrateful one.

• Trudy Frank : [to Billie]  I gave you life! The least you could do is cheerfully answer the door.

• Trudy : [Billie just arrived at her mother's house]  Oh Billie, would like a frozen Prozac on a stick? Or, as I'd like to call it - Frozac. It's great on those late summer afternoons when you're really depressed.
