Female Trouble (1974)

Hilary Taylor: Taffy as a Child

Quotes 

• Taffy as a child : Why can't I go to school? Why can't I have friends?

  Dawn Davenport : You can't go to school because I said so. I won't have you nagging me for lunch money and whining for help on your homework. There is no need to know about presidents, wars, numbers or science. Just listen to me and you'll learn. And no little friends over here, repeating rhymes, asking flippant questions, and talking in those nagging baby voices. Can't you just sit here and look out into the air? Isn't that enough? Do you always have to badger me for attention?

• Concetta : Hey there, Taffy.

  Dawn Davenport : She's been a hideous little girl today, she was about to get a good whippin'!

  Chicklette : She looks so cute.

  Taffy as a child : Who are you, UGLY?

  Dawn Davenport : You know who they are!

  Taffy as a child : I've never seen THEM before.

  Dawn Davenport : Oh, TAFFY.

  Chicklette : I just saw you yesterday, Taffy. Come sit here with your Aunt Chicklette!

  [Taffy bites Chicklette's arm] 

  Chicklette : OH MY GOD, this kid's BITIN' me! Get off!

  Dawn Davenport : This is ridiculous...
