Quote from Mandy

Mandy: Look, I just want to say I'm- I'm really sorry for what you're going through.
Missy: People keep saying they're sorry. It's so stupid.
Mandy: Okay. I'm sorry. [off Missy's look] Sorry. I just want you to know that I'm here for you if you need anything. I mean, after all, we are sisters... in-law.
Missy: Anything? Like a dad who's not dead and a mom who's not crazy?
Mandy: Okay, now, crazy moms, that one I know. I actually have the Girl Scout badge. [laughs]
Missy: [scoffs] I can't talk to her about anything. It's all about Jesus and God, and now, she wants me to get baptized.
Mandy: Come on, I mean, she's going through a tough time, too. [off Missy's look] Sorry. Okay, that's the last one, all right? I'm sorry. Sorry.

Quote from Mary

Mary: I know that I'm not winning any popularity contests, but I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make sure that my kids are safe. In this life and the next.
Meemaw: Damn. I really thought I was gonna bring ya around.
Mary: I'm on my game today. Sheldon said so.

Quote from Meemaw

Dale: Hey, how's it going over there?
Meemaw: Well, about as good as you could hope. Just worried about Mary.
Dale: Is she hitting the bottle?
Meemaw: Hitting the Bible, hard.
Dale: Well, that's not that bad.
Meemaw: Well, she's pushing away her children just when they need her the most.
Dale: Other than being there for them, what else can you do?
Meemaw: I don't know.

Quote from Mary

Mary: Okay, enough changing the subject. You two are getting baptized, and that is the end of the discussion.
Missy: You can't make us.
Mary: End of discussion.

Quote from Missy

Mandy: Hey. What you watching?
Missy: Nothing.
Mandy: Where's your mom?
Missy: I don't know. Probably church. Again.
Mandy: Yeah, I guess she's been a little extra...
Missy: Nutty?
Mandy: Religious.
Missy: She dragged me to church three times this week. You know who goes to church on Thursdays?
Mandy: Who?
Missy: Losers.
Mandy: Sorry.

Quote from Mary

[As Georgie takes a bag out to the trash can, he finds Mary crying in her prayer garden]
Georgie: You okay?
Mary: [sniffles] I'm fine. Just talking with God.
Georgie: He say something to upset you? 'Cause I'll give him what for.
Mary: Georgie, that is disrespectful.
Georgie: Sorry. Just trying to cheer you up.
Mary: If you really want to cheer me up, help convince your brother and sister to get baptized.
Georgie: I already told them I did it.
Mary: You treated it like it was a joke. Everyone in this family is treating it like it's a joke and it's not.
Georgie: Okay. Sorry to interrupt.

Quote from Meemaw

Mary: How'd you know I was here?
Meemaw: Sheldon.
Mary: Oh. Yeah. I'm worried about him.
Meemaw: He's worried about you. I'm worried about you.
Mary: Me? I'm doing fine. Jesus is helping me through.
Meemaw: I don't question that. But I do question why you're not spending more time with your son who's leaving in a few days, and your daughter who may be leaving as we speak.
Mary: She's doing okay.
Meemaw: She's not. You just don't know that 'cause you're spending all your time praying.
Mary: I'm praying for them.
Meemaw: Mary... they don't need your prayers. They need their mother.
Mary: And I need to know that their souls are saved.
Meemaw: Oh, I should've brought more beer.

Quote from Meemaw

Meemaw: Listen, I talked to your mom about this baptism thing.
Missy: You got us out of it?
Meemaw: No, you need to do it.
Sheldon: But it's against my well-established atheism.
Meemaw: It's not about you. Your mom needs this.
Missy: You can't make me.
Meemaw: You're right, I can't. But I'm watching my daughter fall apart right now. So... I'm- I'm just asking for twenty minutes of your time. Please.
Missy: Fine.
Sheldon: Okay.
Meemaw: Thank you. [exits]
Missy: It's weird when they cry.
Sheldon: I do not care for it.

Quote from Missy

Pastor Jeff: Okay. This is where you can get changed into your bathing suits and robes. Uh, boys there, girls there.
Missy: Let's just get this over with.
Pastor Jeff: I want to say again how sorry I am for your loss. I know your dad is real proud of you right now.
Missy: Our dad's gone. [scoffs] Screw this.
Mary: Missy, you said you'd do it.
Missy: Yeah, well, I changed my mind. I'm going home.
