  • Lora Meredith: Now, just a moment, young lady! It's only because of my ambition that you've had the best of everything. And that's a solid achievement that any mother can be proud of!

    Susie, age 16: [tearfully] And how about a mother's love?

    Lora Meredith: LOVE? But you've always had that!

    Susie, age 16: Yes, by telephone, by postcard, by magazine interviews... you've given me everything... but yourself!

  • Annie: Miss Lora, we just come from a place where... where my color deviled my baby. Now, anything here has gotta be better.
