Sidda : [about Connor] Don't you think it's fishy that we're not married yet? I mean, he started asking me the first year and I always resisted, don't you think that's fishy?
Teensy : [defensive] Why is that fishy?
Sidda : Because! Something must be wrong. I've been hitting the snooze button on my biological clock for a long time. I mean, on paper it all works out, you saw him, who wouldn't wanna have babies with him? But every time I get right down to it, something just stops me, it just stops.
Caro : And you don't have any idea why?
Sidda : Oh, I have an idea why. What if I'm like her, and I get into it and just...
Caro : [curiously] What?
Sidda : Beat the living daylights out of everybody and then run away!
Teensy : [surprised] That's what you think happened?
Sidda : [angrily] What do mean, "think", Teensy? I was there. This isn't some goddamn recovered memory, I wish I could forget it! You all have your little Ya Ya scars but that is nothing compared to what she left on me, and all I'm saying is if there's even one drop of that in me, I am better off alone! No child should have to find that out the hard way, and neither should Connor!
Sidda : [tearfully] You know fine, she didn't want us? Fine! She should have just stayed gone. But then y'all dragged her ass back here again and all she did was drink until we all went away!
Sidda : [Angrily] I mean Y'all should know, since you were the ones mixing the drinks!
[storms off]
Necie Rose Kelleher : My God, she doesn't know anything, does she?

Necie Rose Kelleher : I wish you could've known your momma back then, you would've loved her.
Sidda : Necie, me not loving momma was never the problem.
Caro : Her not loving you was never the problem either.

Caro : What I'd give to know then what I know now. And to still have those thighs!
Necie Rose Kelleher : I'm sure they're still buried in there somewhere.

Teensy : [seeing Caro pull a pill from her purse and begin grinding it up to put into Sidda's drink] Wait, what is it?
Caro : I got it from one of the caddies at the club. It's a roopie or a roofie or something. He said it would knock her on her ass!
Teensy : No! Roofies! That's the date rape drug! We can't do that!
Necie Rose Kelleher : She's practically a teetotaler with these skinny little drinks!
Caro : Then what? We can't conk her on the head!
Teensy : Well, give her half. She's a Walker, she can take it.
