Rene: (during the march) My feet are sore, I'm getting blisters.
Elston: Rene, shut up.
Rene: My legs.
Sara: What's the matter with your legs?
Rene: (sees a fellow marcher hobble by on crutches) Nothing. (edit) M.E.: There's a tornado heading this way by 2 o'clock and hiding in the basement won't help!
Rene: A tornado?
M.E.: By the name of Tillie Sims.
Rene: Oh boy.
M.E.: I think what you mean is 'Dear Lord, please deliver me from this earth by 2 o'clock'. (edit) Tillie: You never saw his father drunk.
M.E.: What does that have to do with anything? And now that you mention it, I did see him drunk, I saw him hit Colliar too! The only thing I didn't see was YOU there. (edit) M.E.: A couple of months ago Colliar and I were behind on our payments, and I had to go down and pay in person, and they didn't break my nose for paying what I owed them, so try again. (edit) Colliar: How much do you owe, Mom? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? They kill people for less than that! (edit)

Colliar: "You're in trouble Mom, and I'll be damned if I'm going to wake up in bed next to a horse's head." This is an obvious reference to the 1972 movie "The Godfather" based on Mario Puzo's bestseller.
