Small Sacrifices (1989)

Lynne Cormack: Lola Joziak

Quotes 

• Frank Joziak : [Implying that Diane bought the brass unicorn as a memorial for her children]  I mean, maybe the kids were supposed to die on Friday the 13th and the plan got aborted, got postponed.

  Lola Joziak : [Unconvinced]  How could a mother do that? I mean, it's a primal instinct guard over the life of your child, it's your own mortality.

  Frank Joziak : Yes, I know, right? But I've been reading her diary. Now, all the other entries are details. I mean, there's menstrual cycles, groceries, weather, going to work, coming home from work, and there's kids, and Lew, and loneliness, and Lew, Lew, Lew, Lew... and on the last day, there's no entry at all. She's just written the date, Thursday, May 19th, at the top and the rest of the page is blank.

  Lola Joziak : [Clearly shaken]  She's the mother of those children. Why? Why in God's name would she do it?

  Frank Joziak : All right, do you want to know know what I think?

  Lola Joziak : [Nods apprehensively] 

  Frank Joziak : [Beat]  Diane sacrificed her children because the love of her life, Lew Lewiston, didn't want to be a daddy.
