Quotes 

• Fay : Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we love them, it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your heart's too big.

• Fay : Okay, pretend that I'm your parents, say what your gonna say.

  Beverly : Okay, Mom, Pop?

  Fay : Yeah?

  Beverly : I don't know how to say this...

  Fay : But...

  Beverly : I'm pregnant.

  Fay : My daughter's a tramp! My daughter's a tramp! You're 15 years old, how could you do this to me? Why don't you just take my gun. Take my gun and shoot me in the head with it tramp! I wish that you were never born! How was that?

• Tina Barr : Are we invited to this party?

  Beverly : They're Fay's friends.

  Fay : They're not. My parents are friends with their parents.

  Beverly : What's important is that Sky Barrister will be there.

  Fay : Sky has had his hands in everything you've got. And he has a ton of your poems. And does he call you once? No. Bev, you are truly a great person. But someone as conceited as Sky won't see that. Because all he can see is himself. You know I'm right.

  Tina Barr : It's true, Bev.

  Beverly : [pause] 

  [she observes Fay's dress] 

  Beverly : Let me wear that dress.

  Fay : What?

  Beverly : Fay, if I even look half as beautiful as you in that dresss... Sky will have to notice me. You can wear my dress.

  Tina Barr : No.

  Fay : [she observes Bev's dress but is reluctant]  I... No, Bev. It won't fit.

  Beverly : Fay, you gotta let me wear that dress.

  Fay : Why?

  Beverly : Because I love you.

  [Fay ponders] 

  Beverly : Please, please, please.

  Fay : All right.

• Beverly : I swear, I haven't smiled in like a month. Your mom taking the kids to the movies was a great idea. Hey, shut the door.

  Fay : Okay.

  [see's Jason and Amelia roughhousing] 

  Fay : You play nice, kids.

• Fay : Don't blame me if this party is boring and no fun.

  Beverly : Fun? Fun? Fun is what you bring with you.

• Fay : Hi! My name is Fay and I am Bev's best friend, I just wanted to say is how beautiful Bev looks tonight and to wish her all the happiness in the world, and now that I've said that, maybe one of you could say it to her too. Sitting over is a girl that just has this light around her stands when your near her, you just know something exciting is going to happen. So if you all think you deserve some sort of a medal for being here just because of the special circumstances...

  Mr. Leonard Donofrio : Oh Fay

  Fay : No wait, wait Mr. D I'm not finished just yet

  Fay : If y'all think your so great for being here, then don't bother talking to me either, okay? Because I'm pregnant too!

• Fay : I mean sitting over there is this beautiful girl with this light around her.

  Guest : It's the chair.

• Bobby : What's in your dress? What is this?

  [he removes tissue from the bust area of Fay's dress] 

  Fay : It's Bev's dress. It's too big.

  Bobby : Oh, sweetie.

  Fay : It didn't look right on me.
