Quotes 

• Sidney Taylor : Where's the bug powder, Ma?

  Else Taylor : It doesn't do any good. The people upstairs have been sending the same roaches down here so many years, I'm beginning to recognize them.

• Else Taylor : Anybody would think that I was nothing but the cook around here.

  Willie Taylor : Not after a couple of your meals, dear.

  Else Taylor : I baked those biscuits with my own hands tonight.

  Willie Taylor : Who helped you lift them out of the oven?

• Else Taylor : I've worked and slaved for you and him from the day that you were born.

  Sidney Taylor : Well, I didn't ask to be born.

  Else Taylor : And I didn't want you.

  Sidney Taylor : Oh, Mother. Don't!

  Else Taylor : I didn't want a baby. I was only a kid myself. I've never had any fun. I was never in love with your father, and I hated having you.

  Sidney Taylor : Stop it! Stop it! You don't know what you're saying!

  Else Taylor : Oh yes I do. You and your father have never known me. I've always been a stranger to you. Go to your father. You're his, not mine. He's the one who wanted you - not me.
