Gus : You know what, lady? I'd like to tie you to the back of a fucking truck.
Rose : You don't have the balls.

Lloyd : Don't do it! It's not worth it.
Gus : I fucking hate her, Lloyd!
Lloyd : I know, I know.
Gus : What is the matter with you? I thought mothers were sweet and nice a-a-and Patient. I know loan sharks who are more forgiving than you. Your husband ain't dead, lady. He's hiding.

Rose : What difference does any of this make now? You're getting a divorce.
Lloyd : Mother.
Rose : What?
Lloyd : Is it possible for you to shut the fuck up for ten seconds?
Rose : Lloyd, don't talk to me like that in my own house.
Lloyd : You know what, Mom? You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas? A big, wooden cross. So anytime you feel unappreciated for all your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.
