Conflict Over Maria's Future
Jean I'm never going to let you take Maria away from me.
Matthew I never said I wanted to.
Jean She's got to pay.
Matthew Your husband died of a heart attack.
Jean No one dies of a heart attack. They die of disgust, disappointment.
Matthew You're not the first woman in the world who's had a hard time.
Jean You're an outsider; you don't understand. A family's got to stick together, come hell or high water.
Matthew A family's like a gun. You point it in the wrong direction, you're gonna kill somebody.
Jean Exactly.
Questioning Relationships and Personal Issues
Peg So, do you have a girlfriend?
Matthew What's that got to do with anything?
Peg Maybe that's your problem.
Matthew Do I have a problem?
Peg Of course you do.
Matthew Oh yeah, and what do you think my problem is?
Peg I don't think you laid enough.
Matthew Is that so?
Peg Well, what kind of relationship could a man as screwed up as you possibly have?
Matthew I don't have relationships.
Peg You love em and leave em, huh?
Matthew I don't love anybody.
Peg You mean, you just have a girl.
Matthew I take what I can get. Now if you're through talking, do you want to go out back and fuck?
A Conversation About a Hand Grenade
Matthew I carry this with me at all times.
Maria A hand grenade?
Matthew Yeah.
Maria Is it real?
Matthew My dad brought it back from Korea.
Maria What for?
Matthew Souvenir, I guess.
Maria No, I mean, why do you carry it around with you all the time?
Matthew Just in case.
Maria Just in case what?
Matthew Just in case.
Maria Are you emotionally disturbed?
Matthew Look, I just showed it to you because of what you said.
Maria Forget what I said. Put that thing away.
Matthew Do you really think it's a good idea to drink soda for breakfast?
Maria It keeps my skin clear.
Matthew What?
Maria It's true.
Matthew In ten years your bones are gonna snap like twigs. You oughta have a glass of milk.
Maria Milk gives me pimples.
Matthew You probably get more pimples from all that makeup you're wearing.
Maria Makeup hides my pimples.
Matthew Sorry.
A Conversation About Moving Forward
Matthew I'm sorry. I lost my head.
Maria It's OK.
Matthew What do we do now?
Maria We could run?
Matthew We'd never make it.
Maria I'll tell them it was my fault.
Matthew They'll never believe you.
Maria I don't care if they believe me or not.
Matthew Why have you done this?
Maria Done what?
Matthew Why do you put up with me like this?
Maria Somebody had to.
Matthew But why you?
Maria I just happened to be here.
The Comfort of Television Amidst Discontent
Maria Can you stop watching TV for a moment?
Matthew No.
Maria Why?
Matthew I had a bad day. I had to subvert my principles and kowtow to an idiot. Television makes these daily sacrifices possible. It deadens the inner core of my being.
Maria Let's move away, then.
Matthew They have television everywhere. There's no escape. And besides, you won't leave your mother.
A Proposal Born from Genuine Desire
Maria Did you mean it? Would you marry me?
Matthew Yes.
Maria Why?
Matthew Because I want to.
Maria Not because you love me or anything like that, huh?
Matthew I respect and admire you.
Maria Isn't that love?
Matthew No, that's respect and admiration. I think that's better than love.
Maria How?
Matthew When people are in love they do all sorts of crazy things. They get jealous, they lie, they cheat. They kill themselves. They kill each other.
Maria It doesn't have to be that way.
Matthew Maybe.
Maria You'd be the father of a child you know isn't yours.
Matthew Kids are kids, what does it matter?
Maria Do you trust me?
Matthew Do you trust me first?
Maria I trust you.
Matthew You sure?
Maria Yes.
Matthew Then marry me.
Maria I'll marry you if you admit that respect, admiration, and trust equals love.
Matthew OK. They equal love.
