Quotes 

• Aunt Martha : I thought she was just a child. But she's like all the rest in this family. Can't wait to wiggle her little body to get men all riled up.

  George Atwood : That's the way women are. If they were any different, they'd be freaks.

• Aunt Martha : Cheryl dear, when you're older, you'll realize that the body is a prison that traps and bends the natural spirit to its will. It makes us weak or sick or ugly, it makes us into men or women or whatever it likes, whether we like it or not.

• Aunt Martha : Weak women... I tell you, child, my daddy didn't have any use for those silly, painted-up creatures. Married one anyway. It was the ruination of him.

• Aunt Martha : At certain funerals, you can actually feel the liberation of a spirit from the prison where it's been a captive.

• Aunt Martha : I won't have whores and painted women in *my* house.

• Aunt Martha : [to Cheryl]  Child, there's some things you're still too young to understand.
