Quotes 

• Edie Ballew : You wouldn't understand, you couldn't understand. You're not a woman, how could you know what he does to us? I'm gonna get him if it takes me forever!

  Bobby Ballew : No you're not! Now what you ARE gonna do is you're gonna let the cops handle this. What do you want to stick your neck out for anyway?

  Edie Ballew : The cops aren't gonna listen to me. YOU don't even listen to me.

• Bobby Ballew : Edie, what did Catlin DO to you?

  Edie Ballew : He was out of work, said he needed some money. Emptied out our account, and, I even borrowed some money from my best friend. And then one day, I came home from work early cuz I wanted to surprise him, and the house was so dark, and I walked in through the kitchen, went looking for him, found him in our bedroom. He was there, in our bed, with Joyce. I just stood there, watching them, he finally saw me, he got up and he shut the door right in my face. I stayed there listening until he finished, afterwards he come out and he didn't even bother to get himself dressed. Sat down in a chair and smiled a big old smile, he said that he was never really attracted to me, that nobody could ever love me.

  Bobby Ballew : Okay baby, stop it, just stop that. That was a long time ago, that was a whole lifetime ago.

  Edie Ballew : It's not, Bobby.

  Bobby Ballew : You left him, you got it together and you left him, baby.

  Edie Ballew : I lied to you. I didn't leave him. I did everything, I did everything that he wanted me to do, I just wanted him to love me. He left me, Bobby.

  Bobby Ballew : There's no shame in what you did, you understand me? I love you.
