Jessica Biel: Mary Camden

Quotes 

• Mary Camden : [to Eric as he feeds the twins]  Where's Mom?

  Rev. Eric Camden : I am perfectly capable of feeding my own sons. I do it all the time! I have fed my children for over 21 years now. True, for many of them, your mom cooked most of those meals while I was out earning the money to pay for those meals, but from time to time, I have fed one of my offspring, or all of my offspring, just as I am doing now, without the aid of Mom!

  Mary Camden : I'm just looking for Mom because she asked me to pick up some soap for her.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Oh. She's upstairs.

• Mary Camden : Dad, please. They really are my friends, Frankie is my friend! She asked me to bring over those college brochures tonight so we could look over them, and make a plan to go back to school.

  Rev. Eric Camden : And did you?

  Mary Camden : No.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Because she was too stoned? Mary... who are you and what are you doing with these people?

• Mary Camden : [to Eric]  If you're not going to help them, I'll help them.

  Rev. Eric Camden : How? You don't have a job, you don't have any money. You have to help yourself before you can help anyone else!

• Frankie : It just seems so unfair. You make one little mistake, you know?

  Mary Camden : Yeah, I know. I made a big mistake once, too. I got arrested last year for trashing the school gym.

  Frankie : [laughs]  Arrested? You?

  Mary Camden : Yeah. I'm still on probation.

  Frankie : Oh, so that's why you don't drink or smoke or anything.

  Mary Camden : Yeah, kind of... but also because I feel so out of control, anyway - like I couldn't get my life back on track even if I wanted to. Not that I want to - I mean, it's not so bad, but it's just...

  Frankie : Existing. Just existing. I know what you mean. Every time I make an effort to do something, it just feels like there's so much resistance... and I give up before I even start trying.

  Mary Camden : Maybe we could help each other. Maybe we could make an effort together. Maybe we could go to college and see if anything changes. I brought the brochures, do you want to look at them?

  Frankie : No, not right now, I'm too out of it. Maybe some other time.

  Mary Camden : [disappointed]  Yeah. Maybe some other time.

  [stands up] 

  Frankie : No, don't say it like that. Don't give up on me. I need a friend.

  Mary Camden : Well, I need a friend too.

• Frankie : [on the phone with Mary]  Hey, what if you and I both decided to sign up for college together next semester?

  Johnny : [smirking in the background]  Be sure to apply for that scholarship!

  Mary Camden : Are you serious?

  Frankie : Sure, I'm serious. I don't know what I want to do, either, but I know I don't want to wait tables for the rest of my life.

• Mary Camden : [to Frankie]  Is that... Is that pot?

  Frankie : Yeah. I just need it to loosen up. This whole mother and wife gig really sucks.

• Frankie : [about Johnny]  He's not such a bad guy, you know. He wanted to go to college, too, major in English Lit, and be a writer.

  Mary Camden : Hey, we all still have plenty of time to be whatever it is we want to be, right?

  Frankie : Right.

  [baby starts crying from her crib] 

  Frankie : Whatever I'm going to be doesn't change who I already am: a mom.

• Mary Camden : [about Frankie and Johnny]  They are good people. They're both working, and they're trying to raise this kid, and it's really hard.

  Rev. Eric Camden : So hard that they have to smoke pot.
