Quotes
Poinsettia: How is he?
Mrs. Muldroone: I am sorry, Poinsettia, but he is just not fighting back. Listen to me, Poinsettia, the awful truth is... I miss Mr Mulddrone so badly I can hardly bear it. So for your own sake; you have got to save Fish! You must! Otherwise you'll end up like me with a selfish weed for a companion.
Poinsettia: Well, that'll never happen to me. I'd die first.
Mrs. Muldroone: The trouble is, Poinsettia, we do not die when we want to.

Although some of the film was predictable, I fell in love with the characters and the story. What a great show, too bad it didn't make a theatrical release but well worth watching. Some stuff, you just wouldn't think James Earl Jones would do but very good.
