Quotes 

  • Tiger Ann Parker : Aunt Dorie Kay!

    Dorie Kay : Why, Tiger Ann Parker, let me get a look at you. You are growing up into such a young lady.

    Tiger Ann Parker : What are you doin' here?

    Dorie Kay : Well, I couldn't miss your grandma's birthday, now could I?

    Tiger Ann Parker : No, mam.

    Corrina : [hugging her]  Dorie Kay, Dorie Kay!

    Dorie Kay : Woah, Corrina, you nearly knocked me down.

    Corrina : Oh, you look just like a picture of a lady in a magazine. Isn't she pretty, Tiger?

    Tiger Ann Parker : Yes, she is.

  • Jewel : I didn't expect to see you. It's been a long time.

    Dorie Kay : Well, I came for your birthday, Mama.

    Jewel : My birthday was yesterday.

  • Lonnie : I'm sorry about your mama, Dorie Kay.

    Dorie Kay : Thank you, Lonnie. Where is Corrina?

    Lonnie : She's in bed. She put on her mama's old green nightgown and she's just been lying there crying her eyes out. She don't want to talk to me.

    Tiger Ann Parker : She don't want to talk to anyone, Daddy.

    Lonnie : Dorie Kay, what do you do when someone dies?

    Dorie Kay : I don't want you to worry any about that. I'll take care of everything.

  • Jewel : You spent too much.

    Dorie Kay : I was trying to get you something nice for your birthday. Something the whole family could enjoy.

    Jewel : Well, we sure could've enjoyed a new toaster. You should be saving your money.

    Dorie Kay : I work hard and I spend sensibly.

    Jewel : And I suppose it's sensible to have a colored maid to clean your apartment and cook your meals?

    Dorie Kay : It most certainly is, Mama. Most days, I wake up at the crack of dawn and I'm not back until late in the evening. If I didn't have Magnolia, I'd never get a home-cooked meal.

    Jewel : Well, I never had a maid in my kitchen. I just cook my own stew.

    Dorie Kay : Mama, do we have to argue about this?

  • Dorie Kay : Oh, that is enough, Corrina. Now, it's time for you to get up. Lonnie went to work, and Tiger's got the house looking all beautiful. We got things to do.

    Corrina : Ma's dead. She went to Heaven.

    Dorie Kay : That's right, Ma's dead. But you're not. And Lonnie's not. And I'm not. And neither is Tiger. What kind of mother lies in bed when she has a child to tend to?

  • Dorie Kay : How would you like to come to Baton Rouge with me to get Magnolia? We'd stay for a few days, and you'd get a taste of life in the big city.

    Tiger Ann Parker : But what about Mama?

    Dorie Kay : Well, your daddy will be home at night, and I'm sure Miss Eula can look in on her during the day. Honey, your mama's gonna be just fine.

    Tiger Ann Parker : I'd sure like to, but ...

    Dorie Kay : No buts! We'll go sight-seeing, maybe visit a fine resteraunt or two. Honey, you need a vacation away from all this. This is my gift to you.

  • Dorie Kay : I'm gonna take Tiger with me to go pick her up.

    Corrina : Are you coming back?

    Tiger Ann Parker : Of course, Mama. I'll only be gone a few days.

  • Tiger Ann Parker : You don't seem sad, Aunt Dorie Kay.

    Dorie Kay : Sad?

    Tiger Ann Parker : About Granny. Don't you miss your mama?

    Dorie Kay : I lost my mama a long time ago. You know, it wasn't easy being your mama's sister. I had a lot of responsibility.

    Tiger Ann Parker : I know. Mama's a lot of work, but she can't help the way she was born.

  • Dorie Kay : You know, Tiger, you can really reinvent yourself in Baton Rouge. That's what I did when I first came here.

  • Tiger Ann Parker : My mama was born smart? Like normal people?

    Dorie Kay : Yes. She was.

    Tiger Ann Parker : What happened to her?

  • Dorie Kay : She lost her balance, and she fell to the ground. She broke her arm, but it was her head that was hurt the most. The doctors said that she would never be right again, and that from then on, she would always be like a six-year-old. Mama never forgave herself for leaving that ladder out, and she never forgave me for climbing it up the tree.

    Tiger Ann Parker : Why didn't anyone tell me?

    Dorie Kay : Honey, your granny didn't like to talk about it ever, and I didn't have much memory of it myself.

    Tiger Ann Parker : How'd you find out?

    Dorie Kay : When I was about your age, I was frustrated because I had to take Corrina with me everywhere I went. It's a terrible thing to admit, but I was embarrassed by my sister. So one day when I was going on about how unfair it all was, Mama sat me down and told me the whole story, and that was the only time she ever mentioned it. I cannot tell you how much guilt I felt.

    Tiger Ann Parker : But you were just a baby. It wasn't your fault.

  • Tiger Ann Parker : I decided to go by the name Ann. At least while I'm here, anyway.

    Dorie Kay : Well, goodbye, Tiger, and hello, Miss Ann Parker.

    Tiger Ann Parker : It sounds real nice.

    Dorie Kay : It sounds really nice, Ann.

    Tiger Ann Parker : Really nice.

  • Tiger Ann Parker : Granny would always say, 'One thing I don't ever have to worry about is my gal Dorie Kay. She's got a good head on her shoulders.' I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad.

    Dorie Kay : You didn't, honey. You made me happy.
