- Matthew Slaughter: Why have you done this?
- Maria Coughlin: Done what?
- Matthew Slaughter: Why do you put up with me like this?
- Maria Coughlin: Someone had to.
- Matthew Slaughter: But why you?
- Maria Coughlin: I just happened to be here.
- Maria Coughlin: He's dangerous but sincere.
- Nurse Paine: Sincerely dangerous.
- Maria Coughlin: No, he's dangerous *because* he's sincere.
- Matthew Slaughter: A family's like a gun. You point it in the wrong direction and you're going to kill somebody.
- Maria Coughlin: I'm looking at this guy, right? And I looked at him a lot before. So now I know that I have this little piece of him actually in me. Physically in me, and it makes me feel completely different, I don't know, sort of special or something. So I'm talking to him... I'm talking to him and I realize, I'm, I'm talking to him, and I realize that he doesn't even see me. And I'm wondering what it was he was seeing when he did this. I go over it in my head, and now I know what it was he was seeing. It's really simple. He's seeing my legs. He 's seeing my breasts. My ass. My mouth. He's seeing my cunt... How can I have been so stupid? That's really all there is to see, isn't it?
- Matthew: How long do you think it'll take?
- Maria Coughlin: I don't know. Not long, i guess.
- Matthew: Are you okay?
- Maria Coughlin: Yeah. You?
- Matthew: I feel like smashing things up.
- Maria Coughlin: Relax. There's nothing to worry about. Why don't you go for a walk.
- Matthew: I don't wanna take a walk. You sure you wanna go through with this?
- Maria Coughlin: What do you mean?
- Matthew: Marry me.
- Maria Coughlin: Don't be crazy.
- Matthew: Marry me! Have the baby, we'll be a family.
- Maria Coughlin: You're delirious.
- Matthew: Sorry.
- Maria Coughlin: It's okay.
- Matthew: How long do you think it'll take?
- Maria Coughlin: I don't know. Not long, i guess.
- Matthew: Are you okay?
- Maria Coughlin: Yeah. You?
- Matthew: I feel like tearing somebody's head off.
- Peg Coughlin: So... do you have a girlfriend?
- Matthew Slaughter: What's that got to do with anything?
- Peg Coughlin: Maybe that's your problem.
- Matthew Slaughter: I have a problem?
- Peg Coughlin: Of course you do.
- Matthew Slaughter: Oh, and what do you think that is?
- Peg Coughlin: I think you don't get laid enough.
- Matthew Slaughter: Is that so?
- Peg Coughlin: What kind of a relationship could a guy as screwed up as you possibly have?
- Matthew Slaughter: I don't have relationships.
- Peg Coughlin: So you just love 'em and leave 'em?
- Matthew Slaughter: I don't love anybody.
- Peg Coughlin: So what, you just *have* a girl?
- Matthew Slaughter: I take what I can get. Now if you're thru talkin', you wanna go out back and fuck?
- Maria Coughlin: Do you miss your kids?
- Peg Coughlin: Sure.
- Maria: Do you hate your husband?
- Peg: Absolutely.
- Maria: Would you ever get married again?
- Peg: Of course.
- Jean Coughlin: I don't think she knows much about how to make love to a man.
- Matthew: She must know something, she's pregnant.
- Jean Coughlin: That's what I mean. A girl who knows how to make love to a man would never let that happen.
- Matthew Slaughter: I had a bad day, I had to subvert my principles and kowtow to an idiot. Television makes these daily sacrifices possible. Deadens the inner core of my being.
- Maria Coughlin: Let's move away then.
- Matthew Slaughter: They have television everywhere, there's no escape.
