Quotes 

• Ashley : [to Johnny after he throws a tantrum about not being to work the VCR]  God loves you just the way you are, but He loves you too much to let you stay that way.

• Ashley : I hate hospitals, but it wasn't really all that scary. All the needles and stuff. It wasn't that bad. I'll tell you what the scariest thing is to me - the scariest thing to me is Johnny. It is. He didn't say nothin'. Not one word. At least I don't know what it is, and I think he really did want it, too. Just a boy - you know how I know? I heard him tell your pa to paint the cradle brown. You just wouldn't put a baby girl in a brown cradle. You just wouldn't.

  [starts to cry] 

  Ashley : I don't know what he's thinkin'. It's not my fault! And all that time and all that stuff I got and all those months, it was just all for nothin'! And those fucking doctors, they think they know everything but they don't know anything! They don't know anything! Oh, I don't understand! I don't understand. Why would God let this happen? Why would he? I just wanted something good to come out of all this. I mean it... I really mean it.

• Ashley : I wonder what she looks like. I bet she's skinny. She probably is. She's skinnier'n me and prettier too. Now I'll hate her. Oh, I can't wait!

• Ashley : You always know what I need.

  [pause] 

  Ashley : You know, all I want in the whole world is for Johnny to love me like he did in high school.

  [pause] 

  Ashley : You held him, didn't you? Aw, he was beautiful. He was perfect.

  George Johnsten : He was.

  Ashley : He was blue.

• Madeleine : I was born in Japan.

  Ashley : You were not!

• Madeleine : I even bite my toenails.

  Ashley : You do not!

• Ashley : I can't sit down! I'm too excited!
