Quotes 

• Julia Sugarbaker : Mary Jo, what on Earth is the matter now?

  [as Mary Jo's tossing on top bunk in which Julia is on bottom] 

  Mary Jo Shively : It's this stupid dress of Suzanne's. This is so typical. It's just like her to hand this by my bed so it won't get wrinkled in the closet and I'm so little it won't bother me. She does this kinda thing to me all the time.

  Julia Sugarbaker : Why don't you just take it down?

  [Mary Jo picks up Suzanne's bathing suit] 

  Mary Jo Shively : Actually, this fascinates me. These bra cups are huge. It's kinda like this is the corral where Suzanne keeps her bosoms and I'm the hired hand who guards them while she's taking them out on a midnight ride.

• Charlene Frazier Stillfield : [as Mary Jo and Julia walk in front door of Sugarbaker's]  Hey, y'all, were were just talking about you. How was career day?

  Mary Jo Shively : Great. There was a big tune out.

  [Going over to her desk] 

  Mary Jo Shively : Julia gave a super talk. I think Anthony was very proud. As a matter of fact, it would have been an almost perfect morning if it wasn't for this one ugly little incident in the parking lot.

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : [Getting up from chair]  What ugly incident?

  Mary Jo Shively : Oh, it's nothing. Just a couple of hoods got after Julia.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : Well, that doesn't surprise me. Hoods love Julia. It's that little sashay in her walk.
