Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Once you're better, I don't care what you do. But you're not moving until all that poison's out of your body. Even if only for a day.
Helen Jackson : Oh, man. You always think you know, don't you?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Well, I know better than to run from responsibility.
Helen Jackson : Is that right?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Right.
Helen Jackson : There's all kinds of running, Ulee. Your body might have stuck around, and that lousy bully part of your mind, but your heart took off a long time ago.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Oh, you can't say that. That's not true.
Helen Jackson : Maybe you're right. Maybe you never cared anything about anybody. Year after year, nothing touches Ulee!
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : No. No, it was you and Jimmy wanted too many shortcuts. I told Jimmy if he went down that road, I wouldn't lift a finger to help him. And you both managed major fuck-ups!
Connie Hope : Ulee, come on.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : I mean, who the hell are you, Mrs. Helen Jackson? A mother? Wife? No, you're nothing!
Connie Hope : Come on.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : And we don't need the whole damn world knowing what's going on in our house.
