Quotes 

• Josephine : [Margaret has tipped the girls beds upside down looking for Crispina's holy medal, she has found it under Bernadette's bed]  What have you done to my bed?

  Crispina : [Crispina runs up and hugs Margaret]  My Saint Christopher, you found it, God bless ya.

  Margaret : You dirty thieving bitch!

  [Margaret dives at Bernadette and drags her down to the ground by her hair, where they start to wrestle] 

  Rose : [Rose tries desperately to pull them apart]  God, will you stop that? Stop it, for Gods sake!

  Margaret : [they finally stop fighting]  You're a wicked bitch, you know that? You're a wicked thieving bitch! She had Crispina's Saint Christopher under her bed! The only thing that girl owns in the whole world and you stole it!

  Crispina : You found my Saint Christopher. Thank you, thank you!

  Margaret : [Margaret grabs Crispina roughly by the arm and points at Bernadette]  Don't you understand? She stole it!

  Crispina : Yeah, but you found it.

  Margaret : Am I the only one who thinks that what she did was completely despicable?

  [long silence] 

  Margaret : Oh, you can all just go to hell!

• [first lines] 

  Margaret : Well, what is it you're wanting to show me? Come on, Kevin, what's the secret?

• Margaret : Crispina, why did you want to kill yourself?

  Bernadette : Jesus, that's a stupid thing to ask in this place.

  Margaret : I'm just trying to stop her from killing herself.

  Bernadette : I know what you're trying to do. I just don't know why you're doing it.
