Quotes 

• Henry James : I can't pray now, or ever again. I think if I got down on my knees God would strike me dead. I hope there is no god. I imagine all murderers hope there isn't, because if there's no heaven, then there's no hell.

• Wilfred James : A murdered man or a woman dies not on God's time, but on man's. And if she is cut short before atoning for sin, well, all errors must be forgiven.

  Henry James : But what about us, Pa? Wouldn't we go to hell?

  Wilfred James : How can you say so when you see heaven all around us? Yet she means to drive us away from it. And think. If she does go to Omaha, well, she'll be digging her an even deeper pit in Sheol. If she takes you, you'll become a city boy. Yeah. Just forget all this and... and start learning city ways.

• Wilfred James : Money fixes everything, right? As the wife says, no money *spoils* everything, boy. Now I know that. Shannon will, too, now that she's got a baby to watch out for now. You'll see.

  Henry James : Not if they make her give it away.

  Wilfred James : That don't change how a woman feels when she got a chap in the belly. You see a chap makes a woman feel wise in ways a man don't understand, son. Now, I haven't lost any respect for you, just because you gonna have a baby. Or her. You ain't the first. You certainly won't be the last. But you will not, hey, You will *not* ask a five-month pregnant girl to run off with you.

• Henry James : Papa... it'll be quick.
