• Gator : Hey Taffy, baby, come suck your daddy's dick.

  Taffy : I wouldn't suck your lousy dick if I was suffocating and there was oxygen in your balls!

• Taffy Davenport : Daddy? Daddy? It's me Taffy!

  Earl Peterson : I don't know nobody named Taffy. I'm busy right now.

  Taffy Davenport : Oh, please let me in, Daddy! Open the door!

  Earl Peterson : Ah, fucking shut up! Alright already!

  Taffy Davenport : [jumping into his arms]  Daddy, it's me Taffy, your long, lost little girl!

  Earl Peterson : Hey, get off! I ain't your daddy! I ain't even married!

  Taffy Davenport : Oh, I know that, but you're my daddy alright. My mother told me. My mother is Dawn Davenport.

  Earl Peterson : Yeah, you can stay here awhile. Want a drink?

  Taffy Davenport : NO! You don't even believe me, do you?

  Earl Peterson : Yeah, yeah. I'll be your sugar daddy, how about that?

  [belches in Taffy's face] 

  Earl Peterson : I'm feelin' a little drink, so don't mind me.

  Taffy Davenport : Shitface! You're my father! Doesn't that mean anything to you?

  Earl Peterson : Who'd you say your mother was?

  Taffy Davenport : Dawn Davenport. You know her.

  Earl Peterson : What does she look like?

  Taffy Davenport : Fat. Very fat.

  Earl Peterson : Yeah, yeah. I maybe remember.

  Taffy Davenport : Oh, daddy! I knew you would! Mother's been awful to me. For years, I've suffered. Please let me stay with you. I won't be any trouble. I'll help you clean and we can go out together and maybe... maybe you can buy me some regular clothes.

  Earl Peterson : Can you fuck as good as your mother?

  Taffy Davenport : [slaps Earl across the face]  PIG! You goddamn slimy pig!

  Earl Peterson : Hey, little Taffy, can you stretch like taffy?

  Taffy Davenport : [struggling]  Fuck you.

  Earl Peterson : Hey, you spilled my drink!

  [pulls out his syphillitic penis] 

  Earl Peterson : Daddy Earl's got a little present for you.

  Earl Peterson : [vomits on Taffy]  I'm sorry... I been drinking.

  Taffy Davenport : [sees butcher knife and begins stabbing Earl in the chest] 

  [cries uncontrollably] 

  Taffy Davenport : OH! OH!

  Taffy Davenport : [throws knife down and runs from house] 

• Dawn Davenport : Hello, Taffy. Did you miss Mommy? I'm home from the hospital. I'm alright?

  Taffy : I was hoping the next time I'd see you would be at your funeral.

• Taffy : Hare Rama! Hare Rama!

  Dawn Davenport : Stop those chants! You're just trying to get on my nerves now. I would die with embarrassment if you ever dared to link my name with that pack of fools! Think of my career! Why, I'd sooner you be a secretary.

  Taffy : Hare Rama! Hare Rama!

  Dawn Davenport : I'm warning you right now, Taffy. If I am ever downtown and see you dressed in one of those ridiculous outfits, bothering shoppers, and dancing around like some sort of a fool - I'll kill you. And I mean business!

  Taffy : You can't *kill* love, Mother. You can't kill Krishna; because, Krishna is consciousness. Hare Rama!

  Dawn Davenport : God! I'll show you consciousness when I knock you unconscious!

• Dawn Davenport : You sneaky, conniving little abortion!

  Taffy : She was in pain!

  Dawn Davenport : You're a pain too, Taffy. A pain in my big asshole.

• Taffy : You're not my daddy, you disgusting hippie pig! And I wouldn't get near a bed that had been defiled by the likes of you two! I'd sooner jump in a river of snot!

• Taffy : I wish I'd been an orphan!

  Gator : You can tell she's retarded. Look at her face. She has a face of an old woman.

  Dawn Davenport : Oh, it's true. Look in the mirror Taffy. For 14, you don't look so good. It's because you've been such a brat all your life, that now all that brattishness is showing in your face. The face of a retarded brat!

  Gator : Yes siree, that's a real time warp of a face you got there.

  Dawn Davenport : What did you know about anything. Some of the faces I've seen you with could stop a train!

• Aunt Ida : Ya little bitch! Get me out of this goddamn bird cage!

  Taffy Davenport : Little bitch? Is that all the thanks I get? I gave you a hook, didn't I? Mother will kill me as it is!

  Aunt Ida : Who cares about your stinkin' mother? She stole my Gator away. But she ain't gonna get me! And I'll thank you for for this fuckin' hook after I rip her eyes out with it. Give me some grub.

  Taffy Davenport : There's no food here! Mother doesn't buy food for me! Do you want an egg? There might be some old eggs in the kitchen.

  Aunt Ida : No I don't want no GODDAMN EGGS! I want MEAT and POTATOES!

• Taffy : Writing a book, hippie? Why don't you go listen to some folk music and give me a break!

• Gator : Hi, brat. Is your mother home? I've a little going away present for her.

  Taffy : [after spitting in his face]  Hey, Mother, there's a shithead here to see you!

• Taffy Davenport : What's that camera for?

  Donald Dasher : To take pictures of your mother.

  Taffy Davenport : HER?

  Donald Dasher : We happen to think she's quite beautiful.

  Taffy Davenport : You must be cockeyed, then! HEY, lady! Have some CHIPS!

  Donna Dasher : Really, I couldn't. Thanks, but uh, no thanks.

  Taffy Davenport : (mockingly) Nuh NYEHH nuh NYEEHHH.

  Dawn Davenport : You want your spaghetti with or without cheese?

  Donna Dasher : I'll have two chicken breasts please.

  Dawn Davenport : Well, uh, we're not having that, we're having spaghetti.

  Donna Dasher : I couldn't possibly eat spaghetti, do I look Italian?

  Donald Dasher : We rarely eat any form of noodle. But I'll take a small portion to be polite, with cheese, please.

  Donna Dasher : I'll have an extremely large glass of ice-water.

• Gator : She's retarded.

  Taffy : I am not retarded!

  Dawn Davenport : Oh, yes, you are, Taffy. I had you tested when you were a little girl. A staff of doctors examined you. And maybe the reason you don't remember is, that they told me that you are most definitely retarded.

• Dawn Davenport : I'd like you to meet my daughter Taffy. Taffy, this is Mr. and Mrs. Dasher. They're going to put mother into show business!

  Taffy : Is the circus in town?

• Taffy : [the Dashers have invited Dawn over for dinner]  Am *I* invited?

  Donald Dasher : [very deliberately]  N!

• Taffy Davenport : If I have to eat with Gater, I'll spit food!

• Taffy : [arrives at Dawn's dressing room backstage at Superstar Nightclub dressed in saffron robes]  Hare Krishna, mother!

  Dawn Davenport : Oh, you've finally done it, haven't you? Embarrassed me on my night of FAME!

  [grabbing her] 

  Dawn Davenport : No reporter saw you, did they?

  [Taffy shaking off her mother's hands] 

  Dawn Davenport : Ooh, look at you. I could vomit!

  Taffy : I thought I'd come and see you one last time before your karma caught up with you. Mother, it's not too late. Come to the temple with me.

  Donald Dasher : THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF BEAUTY!

  Donna Dasher : Remember Alice Crimmins.

• Dawn Davenport : Now, Taffy, I have a very busy week ahead of me. I have hours of studying to do, plus, a lot of rehearsals for my new nightclub act. If you feel you *must* stay here, I ask you to constantly remember that you *are* - in the presence - of a star.

  Taffy : Ommmmmmmmmmm..................

  Dawn Davenport : Jesus Christ, Almighty!

  Taffy : Mmmmmmmm........................... .
