Alice Hyatt How are we supposed to have a meaningful family relationship if he's always on the verge of killing you? You're a very weird kid. Flo I could lay under you, eat fried chicken and do a crossword puzzle at the same time, that's how much you bother me. You kiss me where the sun don't shine. Dialogue Tommy: Mom, are we in Arizona yet? Alice: If you ask me that one more time, I'm gonna beat you to death. Just sit back there and relax and enjoy life, huh? Tommy: Life is short. Alice: So are you. Alice: [after Tommy was being smart] If you open your mouth, once more, I swear to God, I'm gonna nail it shut. [Tommy opens his mouth] Alice: I'm warning you, Tommy. I'm gonna throw you out, and you're gonna walk the last mile home. [Tommy makes faces at his mother] Alice: Get out! [Kicks Tommy out of the car and drives away] Alice: I'm an okay sorta person. How'd I get such a smart-ass kid? Tommy: You got pregnant. David: [Tommy's milking a cow] Hey, Tommy, watch the fingernails. Tommy: Well, Christ, she's got tits the size of cucumbers. What do you expect? Alice: [to David] Ahem. I don't know where he gets that language, I really don't. Tommy: Think real hard, it'll come to you, lady. Chicken: Would you mind turning around for me? Alice: Turn around? Why? Chicken: I wanna look at ya. Alice: Well, look at my face, I don't sing with my ass. Flo: My old man, he ain't talked to me since the day Kennedy got shot. Alice: Why? Did he think you had something to do with it? Alice: I know what I'm doing! David: Yeah, you do. That's why you can't make up your mind about your kid, your job, Monterey, or me. Tommy: You really love David, don't you? Alice: Yep, I do. Tommy: Yeah, I like him too, I just hate his taste in music. He always said you could fight with somebody and still like him. Alice: Hey, now you're using your old noggin! Thanks pal! [she hugs and kisses him] Alice: My boy! Tommy: Mom, mom, I can't breathe!
