• James Curtayne : I think maybe one drink...

  Ginny Curtayne : You can't take one drink!

  James Curtayne : Yes, I can take one drink. I'm going to take one.

  Ginny Curtayne : Dad, I'm not frightened. We've beaten this before. I'll get dressed...

  James Curtayne : [pouring himself a drink]  Go and get yourself a husband like any normal girl should do! Stop mothering me! Stop this protective custody!

  Ginny Curtayne : All right, drink that drink. Drink the whole bottle. And go out and get another bottle and drink that, too. Drink forty bottles. And I won't bother you. I'll leave you alone. You can fall up the stairs all by yourself. You can learn to put yourself to bed, because I won't be here. I'll be in my own home, with my husband, the one who's been waiting for me for two years! I won't have to be your keeper! My father's keeper! The nagging daughter of an incurable alcoholic!

  James Curtayne : [slapping her across the face]  Ginny, stop!
