Camille Dixon : We don't know that Aunt Jewel shot herself.
Cora Duvall : What do you mean?
Camille Dixon : All we know was that Aunt Jewel was shot, period.
Cora Duvall : But - but the gun was in her hand. She must have - must have -
Camille Dixon : Don't always go for the obvious, Cora. Just think!
Cora Duvall : What are you eating?
Camille Dixon : Nothin'. Now, you just listen to me, all right? Aunt Jewel did not commit suicide. Nobody in this family commits suicide. Suicide is a disgrace. Only crazy people commit suicide. So if that's what come - some robber, some murderer is trying to make this look like, well, forget that you saw the gun in her hand, you hear me? It was not there. Aunt Jewel did not commit suicide.

Cora Duvall : She's dead. She's been murdered. She's upstairs in the bedroom. And she's - she's white - like lilies in the field that the mower had never mowed. And there's blood everywhere. Red like coral the fish have found in the twilight of the sea.

Cora Duvall : Did my veils come back from the cleaners?

Cora Duvall : I like this room best. I think facing east is good luck - for the sunrise. Don't you? But if you want this one, that's okay. I can take this one instead. It has the best view of trees, the magnolia trees. Trees that bloom like the blasts of trumpets that herald the approach of kings and make afraid the enemy!
