Loneliness and Comfort in Uncertain Times
Carrie Watts:
Excuse me for getting personal, but what is a pretty girl like you doing traveling alone?
Thelma:
My husband's just been sent overseas. I'm going to stay with my family.
Carrie Watts: [Thelma breaks down crying]
Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Will you just say the 91st Psalm over and over to yourself? It will be a bower of strength and protection to him. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of my Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress." Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, honey.
Thelma:
That's all right. I'm just lonesome for him, is all.
Carrie Watts:
You keep him under the Lord's wing and he'll be safe.
Thelma:
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. I don't know what gets into me.
Carrie Watts:
Nobody needs to be ashamed of crying cause we've all dampened a pillow sometime or other. I know I have.

Discovering a Hidden Item in the Room
Jessie Mae:
Thank you. Where did you find it?
Carrie Watts:
In your room.
Jessie Mae:
In my room?
Carrie Watts:
Yes, ma'am.
Jessie Mae:
Where in my room?
Carrie Watts:
In your dresser drawer. Right-hand side.
Jessie Mae:
In my dresser drawer?
Carrie Watts:
Yes, ma'am. I looked on the top of your dresser, wasn't there, something told me...
Jessie Mae:
Mother Watts! Ludie, how many times have I asked her never to look into my dresser drawers?
Carrie Watts:
You wanted me to find the recipe.
Jessie Mae:
I don't want you to go into my dresser drawers. I'd like a little privacy, if you don't mind.
Carrie Watts:
Yes, ma'am.
Jessie Mae:
And don't you ever let me catch you looking in them again for anything. I can't stand people snooping in my dresser drawers.
Carrie Watts: [angrily tosses the recipe to the floor]
All right. Next time you just find it yourself!
Jessie Mae:
You pick that recipe up, if you please?
Carrie Watts: [sits on the couch]
Pick it up yourself. I have no intention of picking that up!
Jessie Mae:
You pick that up!
Carrie Watts:
I won't!
Ludie: [seriously]
Mama.
Jessie Mae:
You will!
Ludie:
Jessie Mae, for God's sake, you're both acting like children. It's 1:30 in the morning.
Jessie Mae:
You make her pick that up.
Carrie Watts:
I won't!
Jessie Mae:
You will! This is my house and you'll do exactly as you're told!
