Quotes 

• [scoffs as Rose's paintings are being unpacked] 

  Cal Hockley : God, not those finger paintings again. They certainly were a waste of money.

  Rose : The difference between Cal's taste in art and mine is that I have some. They're fascinating. It's like being inside a dream or something. There's truth but no logic.

  Trudy Bolt : What's the artist's name?

  Rose : Something Picasso.

  Cal Hockley : [scoffs]  Something Picasso? He won't amount to a thing.

  [pause] 

  Cal Hockley : He won't, trust me. At least they were cheap.

• Ruth : [Trudy is lacing up the back of Rose's corset, as Ruth enters with a stern look on her face]  Tea, Trudy.

  Trudy Bolt : Yes, ma'am.

  [Trudy leaves, Ruth takes over with Rose's corset] 

  Ruth : You are not to see that boy again, do you understand me?

  [Rose doesn't respond, Ruth yanks hard on the laces] 

  Ruth : Rose?

  [Rose again doesn't answer] 

  Ruth : I forbid it.

  Rose : Oh, stop it, Mother. You'll give yourself a nose bleed.

  Ruth : [spins Rose around to face her]  This is not a game. Our situation is precarious. You know the money's gone.

  Rose : Of course I know it's gone. You remind me every day.

  Ruth : Your father left us nothing but a legacy of bad debts hidden by a good name. That name is the only card we have to play.

  [beat] 

  Ruth : I don't understand you... it is a fine match with Hockley. It will ensure our survival!

  Rose : How can you put this on my shoulders?

  Ruth : Why are you being so selfish?

  Rose : I'M being selfish?

  Ruth : Do you want to see me working as a seamstress? Is that what you want? To see our fine things sold at auction? Our memories scattered to the wind?

  [turns away with her voice breaking] 

  Rose : [sighs]  It's so unfair.

  Ruth : Of course it's unfair. We're women. Our choices are never easy.

  [she kisses Rose on the cheek, Rose turns back around and Ruth continues to lace her corset]
