• Lily Owens : If your favorite color is blue, why did you paint the house pink?

  August Boatwright : [chuckles]  That was May's doing. When we went to the paint shop, she latched on to a color called, "Caribbean Pink." She said it made her feel like dancing a Spanish Flamenco. I personally thought it was the tackiest color I had ever seen, but I figured if it could lift May's heart, it was good enough to live in.

  Lily Owens : That was awfully nice of you.

  August Boatwright : Well, I don't know. Some things in life, like the color of a house, don't really matter. But lifting someone's heart? Now, that matters.
