## Kate Grant

* [upon learning Woody has "won" a million dollars] I never knew the son of a bitch even wanted to be a millionaire! He should have thought about that years ago and worked for it!

## Dialogue

    Kate Grant: That's Ed Pegram singing. [to Woody] Did you know that he was always trying to get in my bloomers?
    David Grant: Jesus Mom! Was the whole town trying to seduce you?
    Kate Grant: These boys grow up staring at the rear ends of cows and pigs, it's only natural that a real woman will get them chafing their pants.
    Kate Grant: [looking at graves] There's Woody's little sister, Rose. She was only nineteen when she was killed in a car wreck near Wausa. What a whore!
    David Grant: Mom!
    Kate Grant: Nah, I liked Rose, but my God, she was a slut.
    David Grant: C'mon...
    Kate Grant: I'm just telling you the truth!
    David Grant: Where's your family?
    Kate Grant: Oh, they're over in the Catholic cemetery. Catholics wouldn't be caught dead around all these damn Lutherans. [approaches another tombstone] Here's Delmer, Woody's cousin, he was a drunk. One time we were wrestling and he felt me up. Grabbed a handful of boob and Woody was right there and didn't have a clue, did ya Woody?
    Receptionist: [about Woody] Does he have Alzheimer's?
    David Grant: No, he just believes what people tell him.
    Receptionist: That's too bad.
    Aunt Betty: Now Kate, we only want what's fair and what's fair is if Woody lends us back some money.
    Kate Grant: You can all go fuck yourselves!
    Aunt Flo: Martha, where's Bart and Cole?
    Aunt Martha: Oh, they're off doing some volunteer work picking up trash off the streets.
    Kate Grant: It's community service; for Bart's rape.
    Aunt Martha: Sexual assault!
    Kate Grant: What's the difference?
    Aunt Martha: A huge difference... it's... well... the boys can explain it to you better than I can...
    Kate Grant: Why do you want meatloaf if it isn't even on the dinner menu?
    Woody Grant: 'Cause I like it.
    Waitress: What can I get you?
    Woody Grant: Do you have any meatloaf?
    Waitress: No, that's only part of our lunch specials.
    Kate Grant: He'll have the chicken.
    Waitress: Fried or grilled?
    Woody Grant: Fried.
    Kate Grant: He'll have it grilled. I think I'd like the roast beef, but I'm not entirely sure. What do you recommend?
    Waitress: Everything's all good ma'am, but I especially like the tilapia.
    Kate Grant: Oh, then I'll have the roast beef.
    David Grant: I'll have the tilapia.
    Receptionist: [after telling Woody he hasn't won the money] I can give you a free gift. Would you like a hat or a seat cushion?
    David Grant: Dad? Do you want a hat or a seat cushion?
    Woody Grant: I'll take a hat.
