[scoffs as Rose's paintings are being unpacked]
Cal Hockley : God, not those finger paintings again. They certainly were a waste of money.
Rose : The difference between Cal's taste in art and mine is that I have some. They're fascinating. It's like being inside a dream or something. There's truth but no logic.
Trudy Bolt : What's the artist's name?
Rose : Something Picasso.
Cal Hockley : [scoffs] Something Picasso? He won't amount to a thing.
[pause]
Cal Hockley : He won't, trust me. At least they were cheap.

Ruth : [Trudy is lacing up the back of Rose's corset, as Ruth enters with a stern look on her face] Tea, Trudy.
Trudy Bolt : Yes, ma'am.
[Trudy leaves, Ruth takes over with Rose's corset]
Ruth : You are not to see that boy again, do you understand me?
[Rose doesn't respond, Ruth yanks hard on the laces]
Ruth : Rose?
[Rose again doesn't answer]
Ruth : I forbid it.
Rose : Oh, stop it, Mother. You'll give yourself a nose bleed.
Ruth : [spins Rose around to face her] This is not a game. Our situation is precarious. You know the money's gone.
Rose : Of course I know it's gone. You remind me every day.
Ruth : Your father left us nothing but a legacy of bad debts hidden by a good name. That name is the only card we have to play.
[beat]
Ruth : I don't understand you... it is a fine match with Hockley. It will ensure our survival!
Rose : How can you put this on my shoulders?
Ruth : Why are you being so selfish?
Rose : I'M being selfish?
Ruth : Do you want to see me working as a seamstress? Is that what you want? To see our fine things sold at auction? Our memories scattered to the wind?
[turns away with her voice breaking]
Rose : [sighs] It's so unfair.
Ruth : Of course it's unfair. We're women. Our choices are never easy.
[she kisses Rose on the cheek, Rose turns back around and Ruth continues to lace her corset]
