• Rae : [confronting her mother at the grocery store]  Since you workin' on the square now, maybe we could get some coffee in the morning, if you want...

  Sandy : You need money again?

  Rae : No. That's not why...

  [pause] 

  Rae : Why we always gotta do this? I mean, you and me been at each other as far back as I can remember. Wasn't no love between us. And I'm your daughter. I'm the only family you got.

  Sandy : You never needed nobody. Always made that clear to me.

  Rae : Yeah. I know I did. But I'm trying to be different. I'm trying to get some peace, you know?

  Sandy : I'm workin' here, Rae. Can you see that?

  Rae : [sulks]  I just wanted some make-up.

  Sandy : All that shit's on Aisle 5.

  Rae : [Rae starts walking away. She quickly turns back to Sandy]  I just think you should'a kept him off me, that's all!

  Sandy : [stops working and turns to Rae]  The hell are you talkin' about?

  Rae : Now see? Don't do that. I'll go along with all you say about me. But that, you can't pretend no more on that 'cause I was just a kid, Momma.

  [pause] 

  Rae : I didn't know about any of that stuff he was doing to me, and you let him do it. Some big nobody in your life and you let him do as he wanted with the only somebody you had!

  [Sandy walks up to Rae and grabs her by the arm] 

  Rae : I'm sorry, Mama! I didn't mean to shout...

  Sandy : All my life I been putting out your fires with you givin' out your snatch to every waggin' dick in this town, and you gonna lay the blame at my feet? Well, I ain't gonna take that!

  Rae : But Momma, just tell me! I'm not gonna be mad. We can just talk about it! Be eye to eye on this. You don't even gotta say you're sorry, just say how you knew!

  Sandy : Only thing I'm sorry for is listening to my parents and having you...

  [pause] 

  Sandy : Instead of doing what I should'a done!

  Rae : [grabs a mop and attacks her mother]  TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW! *GODDAMNED LIAR*! SAY IT! JUST FUCKING SAY IT!

  [Rae continues whacking Sandy with the mop] 

  Rae : YOU WERE IN THE NEXT ROOM, YOU *BITCH*!

• Sandy : [to Rae]  Cough drops or condoms?

• Sandy : Cough drops or condoms?

  Rae : I didn't know you was working here.

  Sandy : [chuckles]  Yeah, I just love dressin' up in these goddamned blue vests.

  [pause] 

  Sandy : Your meal ticket get shipped out today?

  [Rae stares at Sandy for a second and walks away] 

  Sandy : You let me know if I can be of any assistance!
