Quotes 

• Molly Gunn : I'm so sorry, Mrs Schleine.

  Roma Schleine : Thanks for coming, Miss Gunn.

  Molly Gunn : Are you kidding? Nothing could keep me away at a time like this.

  Roma Schleine : [she places a check in front of Molly]  Last week's pay and a month's severance.

  Molly Gunn : Severance?

  Roma Schleine : We're letting you go.

  Molly Gunn : We?

  Roma Schleine : That's right. Me and Ray. We. Goodnight, Miss Gunn.

  Molly Gunn : I'm sorry, but I'm not leaving without an explanation.

  Roma Schleine : I don't know what's been going on between you and my daughter, but she has made it clear that she never wants to see you again.

  Molly Gunn : She must be going out of her mind with grief.

  Roma Schleine : Actually, she's taking it rather well. I was at my afternoon staff meeting when I got the news about my husband. I came home to find Ray doing her homework. She's been very calm and level-headed about this whole affair.

  Molly Gunn : You call that taking it well? Do you know what étage your daughter's at in ballet, Mrs Schleine? Or that she was banned from her science class for stealing a formaldehyde pig so she could give it a proper burial on central park? And the tea set you got her - it's exquisite and beautiful, but do you know how she likes to have her tea, how many lumps - one lump, two - cream, sugar?

  Roma Schleine : And the point of your little tirade is...

  Molly Gunn : That you're right. You don't know what goes on between me and Ray because you don't know very much about your own daughter.

  Roma Schleine : I know my daughter well enough to respect her wishes.

  Molly Gunn : You don't give her respect. You give her whatever she asks for so that you don't have to deal wit her. She's eight years old.

  [tears her check] 

  Molly Gunn : She is not 28. Please remember that the next time you show her some respect.

  [storms out] 

• Ray : She always does this to me, she's not coming. Ow!

  Roma Schleine : Well, if you would stop wiggling your ass, it wouldn't have fallen off in the first place.
