Quotes 

• Dolly Grant : Adam, give the law a chance, maybe it'll kill him for you.

• Martha Grant : Tell me, Mom, when are we going to eat?

  Dolly Grant : Later.

  Martha Grant : Later, always later.

  Dolly Grant : When you only eat once a day, you gotta eat later.

• Adam Grant : Are you gonna give that money back? Hear me?

  Dolly Grant : Why? That money burning a hole in your soul, Adam?

  Adam Grant : You had no right in taking it.

  Dolly Grant : I took it because we need it. Because without it, I don't know how we're going to eat tomorrow.

  Adam Grant : How can you eat with it? Ain't you got no pride?

  Dolly Grant : Pride? Oh, Adam, it's the time of the buzzards and we're being ground into the dust.

• Dolly Grant : Mr Favor. How do you like it?

  Gil Favor : I'd be eight kinds of a liar if I said I didn't like it.

• Dolly Grant : Oh, Adam, I learnt a long time ago, pride, respect, all those fine words, they never got me a drink of water when I wanted it. Adam, stop thinking about yourself.

• Dolly Grant : You know, I used to dream of pretty sunsets, and, oh, of all the pretty things in the world. Except now I realise you've gotta have a full belly to for it.

• Adam Grant : I'll kill you before you married him.

  Dolly Grant : Then kill Martha and Jim too, Adam. Because without me, there's no one to fend for them. Is that what you want?

  Adam Grant : I just want you to act like you felt something for my father so his marrying you wasn't like hitching up with a cheap woman. Which is what you are, isn't it, all the way through. Cheap, cheap, cheap.

  Dolly Grant : [She slaps his face hard]  When your father married me, he made you my son.

  Adam Grant : Well, he's dead now and I ain't your son any more.

  Dolly Grant : Well, the kids are mine. Anything I do, I do for them.

  Adam Grant : I'll take care of the kids.

  Dolly Grant : And if you're dead? Don't kill the one man who's going to take care of us for the rest of our lives.

• Dolly Grant : Look, enough food to choke a cow. And we'll get some meat on those bones... And tomorrow you're gonna have supper with us, Mr Favor. Ah, ah, no ifs. Look what I got ya. For you.

  Jim Grant : Gee willikers, Ma.

  Dolly Grant : Here.

  Martha Grant : Ma, what a beautiful dress.

  Dolly Grant : Well, you can thank Mr Favor. He's playing Santa Claus today.
