Bliss Cavendar : I think it depends on the girl.
Brooke Cavendar : Or finding a husband? No, you just limit your choices.
Bliss Cavendar : Seriously, you need to stop. You really need to stop shoving your psychotic idea of '50s womanhood down my throat. And pageants? I mean, what have they ever done for you?

Brooke Cavendar : Hello, Earl. Can you please explain to your daughter why it's inappropriate to buy shoes in a head shop?
Bliss Cavendar : Dad, it's not like that.

Bliss Cavendar : You know, if she wasn't here and I used my own money, it wouldn't make a difference.
Brooke Cavendar : That's not the point.
Earl Cavender : Look, I am in the middle of a deal here, okay? So whatever you all work out is fine with me.
Brooke Cavendar : Give me that.
Earl Cavender : Okay?
Brooke Cavendar : Earl, do you know how hard I have worked to raise these girls in a drug-free environment?
Earl Cavender : Yes, I do.
Brooke Cavendar : Exactly.

Earl Cavender : This Blue Bonnet deal means so much to her. And I think it's really nice, you going along. But you know there's more to life than beauty pageants.
