Quotes 

• Wyly King : You understand what I'm saying?

  Grace : I think so.

  [clears throat] 

  Grace : You're telling me that if I just, eat shit politely with a knife and fork, and just learn to swallow the handfuls of bullshit that he serves up to me then everything will be just a-okay. Is that it daddy? I mean that's what you're saying isn't it daddy? I mean isn't-

  [spills food, gets up and walks away] 

• Wyly King : All of our friends complain about how their kids grow up and run off and they never hear from them anymore. Why the hell can't that happen to us?

• Grace : Daddy, I'm sorry.

  Wyly King : Don't be.

  Grace : I'm not.

• Wyly King : Georgia, what's going on? Open the door.

  Georgia King : Why don't you go over and rap on Annie Pritchett's door?

  Wyly King : What in the hell are you talking about? Have you gotten into the apple wine?

  Georgia King : I'm talking about your extra-curricular activities! I'm talking about your lying, cheating extra-curricular activities!

  Wyly King : Now wait a minute, I do not cheat! I may have fooled around a little bit, but I have never cheated!

  Georgia King : Oh Wyly, how could you do it? I mean, she was a friend of mine. And don't think that weren't times when I had thoughts too, because there were. But never once, not once, out of my respect for you and for our marriage...

  Wyly King : What thoughts?

  Georgia King : Frank Lewis.

  Wyly King : Who?

  Georgia King : Dr. Lewis. Do you know that after all of these years, he still has feelings for me? Wyly, he said that I have beautiful hips.

  Wyly King : Honey, I wouldn't hang any hopes on something somebody said 40 years ago!

  Georgia King : Last week he said it! When I took Aunt Rae in, I had my yearly physical. He said it last week.

  Wyly King : Now that's enough of that, goddammit, open the goddamn door! I won't tolerate this kind of disrespect after the day I've had.

  Georgia King : Oh, don't you talk to me about disrespect, you self-centered old goat!

  Wyly King : Self-centered? Haven't I given you every goddamn thing you ever wanted? You think you'd have this kind of life with Frank Lewis?

  Georgia King : The life I would have with Frank Lewis would have included respect. My own daughters are ashamed of me. But I'll tell you something, I am ashamed of you!

  Wyly King : Why?

  Georgia King : You are a humiliation. Our little girl's life is just falling apart, and all you can tell her is that it's bad for business? You are a disgrace! You drink too much! And you laugh too loud at your own jokes! And I'm gonna tell you something, Wyly, you fart in your sleep. You do. And I have put up with all of that because it was part of you and I loved you and, and I was proud to be your wife, but I'm not proud anymore! And if you attempt to walk across this threshold, I will call out to the barn and I'm gonna have those boys come over here and throw you out on your ass!

• Wyly King : You know you were lucky to get her the first time.

  Eddie Bichon : It was a damn miracle.

• Wyly King : Son, I guess you're right. I don't know my ass from Bakersfield. Or is it shit from Shinola?

  Jamie Johnson : Either way.

• Wyly King : I may have fooled around a little bit, but I've never cheated.
