• Marva : Dolores, you are such a bone-hound.

  Dolores : Everybody needs a hobby. Even you.

• Marva : He had me take him to a preacher. And the preacher got him up on stage. And when it was all over, he was still on his crutches. Now, do you want to know what that man said to my little brother? He said that it was *his* fault, 'cause his faith wasn't strong enough. Well, let me tell you something. All that boy has is faith. So, the last thing he needs is another phoney messing him up. Okay? And the last thing I need is another snake oils salesman using my little brother to get me into bed.

• Marva : I believe in life- what it does to you, and what you do back.

• Jonas : [reading her name tag]  Marva, huh? As in "Marvellous"?

  Marva : As in my grandmother.

  Jonas : Not for a second.

• Marva : Special is steak. No liver, no fish, no spinach.

  Jonas : Awful lot of no's there, Marva.

  Marva : No lip.

• Marva : May I take your order?

  Jonas : Sure. I'll have the KKK omelette. Whites only.

• Marva : This town is full of single women. Why won't you leave me alone?

  Jonas : I don't know. It must be your money. You know, Marva, I've seen a lot of people lie to themselves, but they don't fool anyone.

  Marva : Lying, huh? Your personal area of expertise?

  Jonas : That's not true. My talent is telling people the truth.
