- Willie Ray Johnson: Maybe you'll find out yourself one day: The child who comes home to visit the least is the one you want to see the most. We just miss you, is all.
- Clay Johnson: I hope we didn't cancel our plans to spend our holiday in Florida just so we can listen to our daughter talk on her cell phone the whole week.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Say something Southern.
- Grady Reed: Well, uh, what do you want me to say?
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Oh, I don't know. Something about kudzu or a peach tree.
- Clay Johnson: Brenda, don't make things worse by tellin' stories. Now, your mother and I canceled plans to go to St. Augustine, where we were gonna meet up with your brothers, sisters-in-law, all your nieces and nephews - you understand? - because you said that you were gonna be home for Christmas.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: But I WAS comin' home.
- Clay Johnson: But not to see us.
