- [first lines]
- Beverly Weston: "Life is very long." T.S. Elliot. Not the first person to say it, certainly not the first person to think it, but he's given credit for it because he bothered to write it down.
- [chuckles]
- Beverly Weston: Now if you say it, you have to say his name after it. "Life is very long." T.S. Elliot. Absolutely goddamn right.
- Beverly Weston: My wife takes pills, and I drink. That's the little deal we've struck - a little paragraph in our marriage contract.
- Beverly Weston: Why don't you go back to bed, sweetheart?
- Violet Weston: Why don't you go fuck a fuckin' sow's ass?
- Beverly Weston: Alright.
- Johnna Monevata: What kind of cancer?
- Beverly Weston: Oh my God, I nearly neglected the punch line. Mouth cancer.
- Beverly Weston: I know how to launder my dirty undies. Done it all my life, but I'm finding that it's getting in the way of my drinking.
- Johnna Monevata: What pills does she take?
- Beverly Weston: Oh, valium. Vicodin. Darvon, Darvocet. Percodan, Percocet. Xanax, for fun. OxyContin in a pinch. And of course Diluadid. I can't forget Diluadid.
- Beverly Weston: Ah, here. Here. TS Eliot. Read it or not. It's not a job requirement, it's for your own enjoyment. "Here we go, round the prickly pear, Prickly pear, prickly pear, Here we go round the prickly pear..."
- Beverly Weston: My last refuge, my books. Simple pleasures. Like finding - wild onions by the side of a road or requited love.
