Quotes:

[first lines]::Sarah Jane McKinney: [narrating] For a long time I'd walk into work convinced they all knew, they saw right through me. Me and my innocent act. Which never used to be an act, it's who I really was. I'd never do anything bad. Ever! I always imagined myself having a simple life. Find a nice guy, settle down, live happily ever after. Who would have thought looking for love would be so tricky? But like mom always said, Sarah Jane, ambition will put you in an early grave.

Sarah Jane McKinney: Mom was heartbroken when he ditched me at the alter. But really, St. George had sent another blessing in disguise. The blessing was the salad girl from Pizza Hut. [Frankie with salad girl] And her name turned out to be Dick.

Sarah Jane McKinney: [narrating] Joshua Nether, a walking, talking, sexual harassment machine. Like they said in Rome, live by the sword, die by the sword. Nether never knew what hit him. I had his number. All of his numbers. Social Security number, mother's birthday, and password.

[last lines]::Sarah Jane McKinney: [narrating] Would I do things differently knowing what I know now? Would St. George not have killed the dragon? I'd never be a saint. But we can't start over. There is no past. There is no future. We only have now. The rest, like mom always said, is karma. We get what we deserve.

Quotes:

Mrs. Trefoile: This is the most DISGRACEFUL situation!::Pat Carroll: I couldn't agree more!

Pat Carroll: Yes, I wondered if you might have a mirror I could ...::Mrs. Trefoile: A mirror? Is it to adorn yourself, to observe yourself? Mirrors are not but tools of vanity, Patricia - I know! Vanity - sensuality, Patricia! The Bible speaks of our vile bodies.::Pat Carroll: Oh.::Mrs. Trefoile: I knew you would understand.

Pat Carroll: Alan, I was engaged to her son, and after the awful way that he died, I think it's only fair that I...::Alan Glentower: It's only fair to you to forget all about him!::Pat Carroll: I don't think I can forget all about him - at least not until I see his mother.

Alan Glentower: What are you trying to do?::Pat Carroll: I told you, I'm going to visit Mrs. Trefoile. Now if you'll give me the keys to the car, I'll visit her for an hour and be back this evening.::Alan Glentower: But it's too far! You'll have to stay overnight.::Pat Carroll: Alright, I won't even stay with her. I'll get a room in a pub or something. I'll be back tomorrow noon, then.::Alan Glentower: And if I order you not to?::Pat Carroll: [pause] Are you going to give me the keys to the car, or do I take a bus?::Alan Glentower: [He gives her the keys] You can drive?::Pat Carroll: As well as you can! [She drives off, wildly and shakily]::Alan Glentower: It is not automatic! Use the clutch!

[Mrs. Trefoile and Pat are having tea]::Mrs. Trefoile: It was very kind of you to pay this visit to me. Yes, I am pleased with Stephen's choice. I see that you are obviously the type of young woman he would properly choose. We have so much to discuss, my dear. So much. My poor Stephen. I... I can only rejoice that he died unblemished. A virgin soul. So much more beloved by the Almighty.::Pat Carroll: Oh... yes.::Mrs. Trefoile: I have prayed for him, and I know that you've done so too. And I have no doubt that he was at once transported to Glory at his passing, being the unstained soul that he was. We shall go to church together tomorrow and offer up a token prayer.::Pat Carroll: I'm afraid I -::Mrs. Trefoile: [interrupting] MILK?::Pat Carroll: [pause] Please.::Mrs. Trefoile: We will not pray at the regular service however. I do not approve of the new rector!

Mrs. Trefoile: This was his room.::Pat Carroll: His?::Mrs. Trefoile: Stephen's!

Mrs. Trefoile: Do you attend church regularly?::Pat Carroll: Well, not too regularly. [Mrs. Trefoile looks shocked] Not as often as I'd like.::Mrs. Trefoile: Not as often as you'd like? What a strange thing to say! If you like going to church, why do you not attend regularly?::Pat Carroll: Well, I mean, often there isn't time.::Mrs. Trefoile: Not time for prayer? Not time to sing the praises of the Lord? One's duty to the Lord must take precedence, must it not? Patricia, I'm surprised at you!

Mrs. Trefoile: Stephen? Stephen? She's here in this house, my darling... but of course you know... you know...!

Mrs. Trefoile: Come, my dear. I must confess I'm disappointed in your church attendance. My late husband, he was a truly religious man. More so than some who wear the cloth!

[Anna serves a disgusting looking plate of food]::Mrs. Trefoile: Aren't you hungry, my child?::Pat Carroll: [takes a bite and tries to hide her repulsion] Mrs. Trefoile, do you have any salt?::Mrs. Trefoile: We use not condiments of any kind in this house, Patricia! God's food should be eaten unadorned. We are vegetarian. For instance, this meat loaf is synthetic, compounded of bread, oatmeal, and wheat germ.::Pat Carroll: How nice.
