The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom
1993 (TV)
Terry Harper: The truth is like iodine. It only helps if it hurts.
Marla Harper: I just lost the meanin'. Terry Harper: Of what? Marla Harper: Christmas. Terry Harper: Well, you're lucky you had it for as long as you did.
Shanna Harper: Momma, isn't it true that only a certain amount of people are allowed in heaven, and we're saved, right? Wanda Holloway: Uh huh. That's 'cause we're Missionary Baptists as opposed to the other kind of Baptists who if they make a mistake, they have to start all over again. But Missionary Baptists -- once saved, always saved. Your grandma and grandpa were real smart. They chose a sect that has guarantees.
Herself - Writer: Well, never believe anything a writer tells you.
Wanda Holloway: They even had me in "Sports Illustrated", in the Swimsuit Edition, but not in a swimsuit.
Verna Heath: Shanna is the symptom. Her mother is the disease.
Wanda Holloway: I'm not going to see a bunch of low-rent nobodies break her spirit.
News reader: More than 80 producers, agents and movie companies contacted the Heaths. To weed some out, their attorney Robert Schultz, said he rejected outright "anybody who called me baby".
