Patricia Tallman Quotes

Johnnie They're coming to get you, Barbara!

Barbara Stop it!

Johnnie They're coming! They don't like being awaken this way!

Barbara Why do you have to be so mean?

Johnnie Cause I'm your older brother. Being mean and heartless is part of the job.

Barbara They're so slow. We could just walk right past em and we wouldn't even have to run. We could just walk right past em. We have the guns. If we're careful we could get away. You told me to fight, well I'm fighting, this place is not safe, not upstairs or down. We should leave before it's too late.

Ben You are losing it girl, you are losing it.

Barbara You think so? Whatever I lost, I lost a long time ago and I do not plan on losing anything else. You can talk to me about losing it when you stop screaming at each other like a bunch of two-year-olds.

Johnnie Tell me something, why do we have to put ourselves through this... charade?

Barbara Because she is our mother! Can't you just at least put her one day out of your life?

Johnnie One day? This is the fourth time we've been up here within the three months since she died! I feel like I've been spending more time with her than when she was alive and do you know why?

Barbara Oh, God! Please don't start!

Johnnie She could have been buried in the city, but no, that would be easy! She knew that I was the one who could take you here which is why she had herself buried two hundred miles away from the nearest glass of beer!

Barbara Johnnie, now we're here! So would you please stop it?

Johnnie Stop what? The truth?

Harry You came back! You... Came back.

Barbara That's another one for the fire.
