Riding in Cars with Boys
2001
Fay: Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we love them, it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your hearts too big.
Beverly: (to Ray who has cut his hand and is bleeding profusely in the house) Stop bleeding! Stop bleeding!
Beverly: I'm 22 years old - that's almost 30, and I still haven't accepted that this is my life. And I just wish that I could be dumb. And then I wouldn't know better and I could be happy and stop hoping. And I'm telling you this like you're interested in my boring life.
Beverly: He's very handsome, so don't hit him in the face.
Raymond Hasek: Please marry me, Bev. Because I'm shit without you. Beverly: Oh how romantic... a marriage proposal that contains the word "shit".
Beverly (Age 11) : For Christmas I'd like a bra, to enhance what I got, which is a lot more than that Melissa Thomas.
Fay: Ok pretend that I'm your parents say what your gonna say. Beverly: ok, Mom, Pop? Fay: Yeah? Beverly: I don't know how to say this but... i'm pregnant. Fay: My daughters a tramp! My daughters a tramp! You are a disgrace! I wish that you were never born! Fay: So how was that?
Beverly: I didn't go pat first base which means nothing below the waist... my waist not his.
(after Jason falls into a hottub and she is still holding him half in it) Beverly: I promise from now on I'm going to be more attentive. DO you know what attentive means? Jason (Age 6) : No. Beverly: OK. Do you know what responsible means? Jason (Age 6) : No. (drops him back into hot tub) Beverly: Damn! I should've read to you more.
Beverly: When will this job ever end! Jason: You call it a job! Beverly: Well, what do you think it is, a calling?
Jason: Did you get my message? Amelia: Yes, I love you too. Jason: This is the greatest conversation of my life!
Amelia: We're young, we deserve to be young. We deserve to be young together.
Beverly: Mom! Jason won't leave me alone! Mrs Teresa D'Onofrio: He's not supposed to, you're his mother. Beverly: Mom, I have four weeks to study for the SATs. It's for the scholarship. Mrs Teresa D'Onofrio: (sniffs) I told you to change his diaper an hour ago! He loves when you do it. I have to iron now. Beverly: (whining) But Mom... Mrs Teresa D'Onofrio: Change it!
Beverly: (Bev is changing Jason) Aaaaah! Aaaaah! (Races to the bathroom and starts brushing her teeth) Mrs Teresa D'Onofrio: What? What happened? Beverly: He peed in my mouth! Mrs Teresa D'Onofrio: (Laughs) Ha ha ha. Jason, you make your grandma so happy.
Beverly: (changing Jason's diaper) Mommy has to study. I gotta do everything I can to get us out of here... Ugh, Mr Stinky Pants.
Raymond Hasek: My dad always said my head was hard as a rock. He broke his hand on it twice.
Beverly: (standing on her lawn, yelling at Ray) I'm just another angry house wife, standing on her lawn and yelling at her husband! Oh yeah, that's me!
