• Rosa Moline : I'm going to have a baby.

  Doctor Louis Moline : Aren't you glad?

  Rosa Moline : Not glad and not not glad.

• Doctor Louis Moline : With you and Carol could be friends. She'd be good for you.

  Rosa Moline : I'm afraid I've never had much luck being friends with women.

• Doctor Louis Moline : Rosa, why do you torment yourself like this?

  Rosa Moline : 'Cause it makes me feel alive.

  Doctor Louis Moline : To hate everything so?

  Rosa Moline : It keeps me from being soft and forgetting about all the things I really want.

• Doctor Louis Moline : [to Rosa]  I'm afraid you're not a very good gardener. You seem bent on destroying the flowers and cultivating the weeds. Give yourself a chance, Rosa. If a man whipped a dog like you whip yourself, you'd land in jail.

• Rosa Moline : All these trees standing here feeling so talk and so strong. And then someone omes along and says, "it's your turn." And they get the mark of death on them. I wonder if they know?...

  Doctor Louis Moline : People don't, at least most people don't. It's not always death, though. Sometimes it's a disability or an ordeal of some sort.

  Rosa Moline : See any mark on me?

  Doctor Louis Moline : Rosa... Of course not.

  Rosa Moline : Don't you see it, Louis?

• Doctor Louis Moline : He turned you down, and when he whistled, you went crawling back...

  Rosa Moline : Running back!
