• Ellen : You're supposed to have that thing in your head that says, "BAD FUCKING IDEA, BOBBY!"

  Bobby Kalzone : I do have it! It just didn't work!

• Bobby Kalzone : Mona Dearly's dead.

  Ellie : What?

  Bobby Kalzone : She's dead- It was just a- car accident.

  Ellie : You gotta be kiddin' me. Well- We gotta celebrate!

  Bobby Kalzone : Jesus, God, Ellie she's a human being. Have a little respect.

  Ellie : I don't gotta have respect for no one in that family. Think how they treated you.

  Bobby Kalzone : How did they treat me?

  Ellie : Badly, they're a houseful of freaks.

• Ellen : Yeah, but you're not even supposed to get that far, you're supposed to have that thing in your head that goes off and says, 'bad FUCKING idea, Bobby!'

  Bobby Kalzone : I have that thing! I have that thing. It just didn't go off.

  Ellen : [pause]  Yeah, well, I'm pregnant.

  Bobby Kalzone : What? You're pregnant? That's great!

  Ellen : Uh huh! I thought so too, till a moment ago. I can't believe you killed someone!

  [gets up to leave] 

  Bobby Kalzone : Where you going?

  Ellen : Home!

  Bobby Kalzone : We need milk.

• Bobby Kalzone : [after Ellen slaps him after explaining what he did]  What you do that for?

  Ellen : [outraged]  You killed Mona Dearly!

  Bobby Kalzone : [chastened]  I know.

  Ellen : BUT WHY!

  Bobby Kalzone : Because I thought I was killing Jeff!

  Ellen : Bobby, my dad is the chief of police!

  Bobby Kalzone : I know, but I wasn't gonna go through with it.

  Ellen : It doesn't matter; you killed someone!

  Bobby Kalzone : I know, but I was doing it for us. Jeff was killing the business, and Mona wasn't gonna let me out of the partnership, so - Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

  Ellen : A good idea at the time? 'Cut the grass at 6:00, lay sod at 7:00, DROWN THE DEARLYS AT 8:00'!

• Ellen : [after Phil Dearly's death, bawls hysterically]  BOBBY'S A MURDERER!
