• Rose Darko : Our son just called me a bitch.

  Edward Darko : You're not a bitch. You're bitchin', but you're not a bitch.

• Donnie : You're such a fuck-ass!

  Rose Darko : Please.

  Elizabeth : What? Did you just call me a "fuck-ass"?

  Rose Darko : Elizabeth, that's enough.

  Elizabeth : You can go suck a fuck.

  Donnie : Oh, please, tell me, Elizabeth, how exactly does one suck a fuck?

  Elizabeth : You want me to tell you?

  Donnie : Please, tell me.

  Rose Darko : We will not have this at the dinner table.

  Donnie : [Mouthing]  I'm all ears!

• Donnie : [to his mother]  How's it feel to have a wacko for a son?

  Rose Darko : It feels wonderful.

• Rose Darko : I don't think telling any woman to forcibly insert an object into her anus is something that should go without consequence.

  Edward Darko : I think we should buy him a moped.

  Rose Darko : I think we should get a divorce.

• Kitty Farmer : Rose, I'm sure that you're aware of the horrible allegations against Jim Cunningham.

  Rose Darko : I know. I saw it on TV. Something about a "kiddie porn dungeon."

  Kitty Farmer : Please, please! Don't use those words! It's obviously some kind of conspiracy to destroy an innocent man. And I have taken it upon myself to spearhead the Jim Cunningham defense campaign.

  Kitty Farmer : [pleading]  Rose, I have to appear at his arraignment tomorrow morning. And as you know, the girls are scheduled to leave for Los Angeles in the morning. Now, as their coach, I was the obvious choice to chaperone them on their trip, but...

  Rose Darko : [feigning concern]  But now, you can't go.

  Kitty Farmer : Yes.

  Rose Darko : Hmm.

  Kitty Farmer : Now, believe me, of all the other mothers, I would never dream of asking you. But none of the other mothers are available to go.

  Rose Darko : I don't know, Kitty. It's a bad weekend. Eddie's in New York.

  Kitty Farmer : [tearfully]  Rose! I don't know if you realize what an opportunity this is for our daughters! This has been a dream of Samantha's and all of ours for a long time! I made her lead dancer! Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

• Dr. Lilian Thurman : Has he ever told you about his friend Frank?

  Rose Darko : Frank?

  Dr. Lilian Thurman : Yes, the giant bunny rabbit.

  Edward Darko : The what?

  Rose Darko : I don't recall him ever having mentioned a rabbit.

• Edward Darko : [quietly reminiscing]  Frankie Fiedler. You remember. From high school.

  Rose Darko : Mmm. Mmm.

  Edward Darko : He died. Remember?

  Rose Darko : Um hmm.

  Edward Darko : On his way to the prom. They said he was doomed. Jesus. They could be saying the same thing about Donnie. Our Donnie. But he dodged it. He dodged his bullet, Rose. Somebody was watching over him.

• Rose Darko : Kitty, do you even know who Graham Greene is?

  Kitty Farmer : [scoffs]  I think we've all seen "Bonanza."
