• Mallory : You have any kids?

  Lois Riley : We had a daughter. She died in a car accident.

  Mallory : My mom died in a car accident. I was in the car accident as well.

  Lois Riley : How old were you?

  Mallory : Four or five. I don't, I don't remember it. Which is good. It would be kind of fucked up to remember that. What was your daughter's name?

  Lois Riley : Emily. Emily Eugenia Riley.

  Mallory : How old was she?

  Lois Riley : [fighting tears]  Fifteen.

  Mallory : That sucks.

  Lois Riley : Yes. It does.

• Lois Riley : Allison, I don't think you should do this anymore.

  Mallory : Do what?

  Lois Riley : You know what I'm talking about.

  Mallory : You don't work you don't eat.

  Lois Riley : Wait! I can't let you do this.

  Mallory : Lois don't.

  Lois Riley : What?

  Mallory : Don't be stupid.

  Lois Riley : I apologize for being so unsophisticated but I cannot let a 16-year old girl prostitute herself!

  Mallory : I'm a fucking dancer.

  Lois Riley : And a prostitute!

  Mallory : [yelling]  Well you're not my fucking mom! So get the fuck out of my way!

• Mallory : Hey you know me and Doug, we don't fool around or anything like that. I'm just saying I mean nothing like that.

  Lois Riley : I believe you.

  Mallory : Because, I mean, he's completely old school. It's crazy.

  Lois Riley : I believe you.

• Lois Riley : Mind picking up my mail and newspaper while Doug is gone?

  Harriet : Why can't your neighbor across the street do it?

  Lois Riley : She moved.

  Harriet : And all your other neighbors?

  Lois Riley : Just until Doug gets back.

  Harriet : Okay. I have to drive over here all the way from Zionsville every day because my nutcase sister can't walk down her own damn driveway. Lois? Somehow, someway, and someday you're just gonna have to walk out that door.

• Mallory : Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up.

  Lois Riley : That's alright. It's been a long day.

  Mallory : Where's Doug?

  Lois Riley : He'll be back in a little while.

  Mallory : Okay.

  Lois Riley : Are you hungry?

  Mallory : Yeah. I got off early tonight. Business sucks.

  [hesitant] 

  Mallory : You wanna go around the corner and get a po'boy?

  Lois Riley : What's a po'boy?

  Mallory : It's like a sandwich.

  Lois Riley : Oh. Alright.

• Lois Riley : [on phone]  How's New Orleans?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Listen I think I'm going to stay here for a while. I can't come home right now.

  Lois Riley : What are you talking about?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : I don't know. I just know that I can't come home right now. I know I'm not dead yet. Alright?

  Lois Riley : [crying]  Doug. I'm not mad about Vivian.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : What?

  Lois Riley : A year or two ago I found a name tag in the pocket of your windbreaker. It's not like I had no idea what was going on. And I know I haven't been.

  [pauses] 

  Lois Riley : Oh Lord.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : I'm sorry.

  [Lois hangs up on Doug] 

• Lois Riley : [helping Mallory out of the shower]  You have a pair of clean white cotton undies?

  Mallory : No.

  Lois Riley : Well, you don't need to wear any. We'll just put you in a clean nightgown.

  Mallory : [crying]  I don't have a nightgown.

  Lois Riley : You can borrow one of mine.

• Lois Riley : [to Mallory]  Your mother must have been very pretty.

• Lois Riley : I went after her. I didn't tell that part about how Emily died.

  Mallory : Tell me what?

  Lois Riley : I was awake that night. Doug was at his poker game, I always stay up until he gets home. I heard something, went to the window, and saw Emily get into her boyfriend's car. So I put on some clothes and got into my car and went looking for them.

  Mallory : Did you find them?

  Lois Riley : [nods]  Parked in a shopping center not far from our house.

  Mallory : I'm sure they were really happy to see you.

  Lois Riley : He took off. I tried to catch up but I couldn't. He was driving so fast. Lost them for a little while and then.

  Mallory : [interrupts]  They crashed the car?

  Lois Riley : Ran a stop sign and hit a truck broadside. By the time I got there everything was on fire. Couldn't get to them. Wouldn't have happened if I hadn't gone after her.

  Mallory : Hey, it's not your fault. That's not your fault. Just like my mom getting in a car accident is not my fault.

• Lois Riley : She's not Emily.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : I know that.

• Mallory : Don't fucking touch me!

  Lois Riley : Alright, listen to me. Please listen.

  Mallory : [yelling]  I don't have to listen to you! You're not my fucking mom!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : [enters the room]  Hey.

  Lois Riley : Doug, nevermind.

  Mallory : I don't listen to people. This is my fucking house! Just get the fuck out!

  Lois Riley : [stops Mallory]  No. You don't know what you're doing to yourself, sweetheart!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Lois, don't.

  Mallory : Oh yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about? And I know more about what I do than you will ever know. How many cocks you swallowed?

  [is slapped by Lois] 

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Hey! No! Alright!

  [holds Mallory back] 

  Mallory : Fuck!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : She didn't mean it.

  Mallory : Fuck you! Okay, just stop touching me.

  [yells] 

  Mallory : Just stop fucking touching me!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : She didn't mean it!

  [lets Mallory go] 

  Mallory : Get the fuck off me!

  Lois Riley : Please, I'm sorry! Allison.

  [Doug chases after Mallory] 

  Lois Riley : Let her go, Doug!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : I just want to talk to her. Mallory!

  Lois Riley : Doug, let her go.

• Lois Riley : [waking Doug up]  Doug, honey? Wake up! Doug, I need you to go to the drug store.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : You alright?

  Lois Riley : I'm fine. It's Allison.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : What's wrong with her?

  Lois Riley : Just female trouble. Come on, get up.

• Lois Riley : [to Doug]  You can leave me if you have to, but I will never leave you.

• Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : [chasing Lois]  Lois, hold up.

  Lois Riley : No!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Hold up, Lois!

  Lois Riley : No! You're crazy!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Alright, calm down.

  Lois Riley : This is insane. She's just a child!

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : She is a 16-year old runaway from Florida, okay?

  Lois Riley : What do you think you are doing?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : I don't know. That's what I'm trying to tell you, okay?

  Lois Riley : No, no, no, this is a nightmare.

• Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : [to Lois]  Come on inside.

  Lois Riley : The person you want me to meet lives in here?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Her name is Mallory. Now, her real name is Allison. She's got a lot of names because she works in a strip club.

  Lois Riley : She's a stripper?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : You'll understand once you meet her.

  Lois Riley : Understand what? That you've lost your mind? Jesus, Doug.

• Lois Riley : Your mother must have been very pretty.

  Mallory : Yeah. She had bigger tits than me. I got my dad's tits. I don't know what happened.

  Lois Riley : [laughing]  I got my dad's too!

• Lois Riley : You're gonna sit out here all night?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Just smoking a cigarette.

  Lois Riley : I wish you wouldn't smoke in the house.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Well I'm not in the house. I'm in the garage.

  Lois Riley : When you open the door all the smoke comes inside.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Then close the door, Lois.

• Lois Riley : What are you doing home so early?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : That headstone. You got us at Gold Hill? That's a unique experience. Seeing your name carved on a piece of granite.

  Lois Riley : How do you mean?

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : What I mean? I'm not dead. And you're not dead. There's enough people out there that are dead. They need headstones. We don't cause we're not dead.

  Lois Riley : A lot of people do this, Doug. It's called pre-planning.

  Douglas Lloyd 'Doug' Riley : Well I don't like having my name carved on a tombstone while I'm still alive. I can't believe you did that, Lois.
