Quotes 

  • Beth Jarrett : Calvin? Why are you crying? Can I, uh... can I get you something?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I don't...

    Beth Jarrett : What did you say? Calvin, what did you say?

    [Calvin sighs heavily] 

    Beth Jarrett : Tell me.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : You are beautiful. And you are unpredictable. But you're so cautious. You're determined, Beth, but you know something? You're not strong. And I don't know if you're really giving. Tell me something. Do you love me? Do you really love me?

    Beth Jarrett : I feel the way I've always felt about you.

    [pause] 

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : We would have been all right if there hadn't been any... mess. But you can't handle mess. You need everything neat and easy. I don't know. Maybe you can't love anybody. It was so much Buck. When Buck died, it was as if you buried all your love with him, and I don't understand that. I just don't know, I don't... maybe it wasn't even Buck. Maybe it was just you. Maybe, finally, it was the best of you that you buried. But whatever it was... I don't know who you are. And I don't know what we've been playing at. So I was crying. Because I don't know if I love you anymore. And I don't know what I'm going to do without that.

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Well, don't admire people too much. They'll disappoint you sometimes.

  • Beth Jarrett : It's really important to try to hurt me, isn't it?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Don't you have that backwards?

    Beth Jarrett : Oh, and how do I hurt you? By embarrassing you in front of a friend? "Poor Beth, she has no idea what her son is up to. He lies and she believes every word of it."

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : I didn't lie!

    Beth Jarrett : You did! You lied every time you came into this house at 6:30! If it's starting all over again, the lying, the covering up, the disappearing for hours, I will not stand for it! I can't stand it! I really can't!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Well, don't, then! Go to Europe!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Connie!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : No! The only reason she cares, the only reason she gives a fuck about it is 'cause someone else knew about it first!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Just stop it, Connie!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : No! You tell her to stop it! You never tell her a goddamn thing! And I know why she never came to the hospital: she was busy going to goddamn Spain and goddamn Portugal! Why should she care if I'm hung up by the balls out there?

    Beth Jarrett : Maybe this is how they sit around and talk at the hospital, but we're not at the hospital now.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : You never came to the hospital! How do you know about the hospital?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Connie! Now, your mother did come to the hospital. Now, you know that she did. She had the flu and... and she couldn't come inside, but she came to the hospital!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Yeah? Well, she wouldn't have had any flu if Buck was in the hospital! She would have come if Buck was in the hospital!

    Beth Jarrett : Buck never would have been in the hospital!

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : He just wants to know that you don't hate him.

    Beth Jarrett : Hate him! How could I hate him? Mothers don't hate their sons! Is that what he told you? You see how you believe everything he tells you? And you can't do the same for me, you can't! GOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANYONE WANTS FROM ME ANYMORE!

    Ward : Beth, we don't want anything from you; Audrey, Cal, Connie and Me, we just want you to be happy.

    Beth Jarrett : Happy! Ward, you tell me the definition of happy. But first you better make sure your kids are good and safe, that they haven't fallen of a horse, been hit by a car, or drown in that swimming pool you're so proud of!

    Audrey : Oh Beth!

    Beth Jarrett : Then, you come and tell me how to be happy!

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : [Inside his garage,Calvin Jarrett is just getting out of his car after a counseling session with his son Conrad's psychiatrist, Dr. Berger]  What I'm... gonna say... will sound strange.

    Beth Jarrett : What happened? Come inside.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Could we talk about Buck's funeral?

    Beth Jarrett : Whaaaat?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : It'll seem trivial. But, it's on my mind and I'd like to talk about it. When I was getting dressed for Buck's funeral...

    Beth Jarrett : Calvin, what's the matter with you?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Just let me get it off my chest,OK?

    Beth Jarrett : What could getting dressed for Buck's funeral... have to do with anything, right now?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I was wearing a blue shirt. You said, "wear a white shirt and the other shoes." It was nothing at the time, but, it seemed to stay with me. And I, for some reason, had been thinking about it and it suddenly occurred to me, what difference did it make what I wore to Buck's funeral?

    Beth Jarrett : Uh, huh.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Just hear me out, Beth, it won't hurt you to listen!

    Beth Jarrett : I won't listen to that. No one in their right mind would listen to that!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I just want to talk about something I always remembered.

    Beth Jarrett : Why do you want to remind me?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Because I've always wondered, in some needling way, what it mattered what I wore. I was crazy that day. We were going to our son's funeral and you were worried about what I wore on my feet. I'm sure it sounds like nothing to you, but it stuck with me and I just wanted... to tell you about it.

  • Conrad "Con" Jarrett : [on learning Beth has left]  I know why. It's me, isn't it?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : No.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Yeah, it is. It's my fault.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Don't do that! Don't do that to yourself! It's nobody's fault! Things happen in this world, people don't always have the answers for them, you know.

    [sits down on the steps] 

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I don't know what I'm yelling at you for.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : No, that's right. You're right. You oughta do that more often.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Oh, yeah?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Yeah, yeah, haul my ass a little, you know? Get after me. The way you used to for him.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Oh, he needed it. You didn't. You were always so hard on yourself, I never had the heart.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Aw, Dad, don't.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : No. No, it's the truth. I never worried about you, I... just wasn't listening.

  • Conrad "Con" Jarrett : You know, I used to figure you had a handle for everything. You knew it all.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Really?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : I know that wasn't fair, but you always made us feel like everything was gonna be all right. I've thought about that a lot lately. I really admire you for it.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Well, don't admire people too much. They'll disappoint you sometimes.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : I'm not disappointed. I love you.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : [hugs Conrad]  I love you too.

  • Beth Jarrett : I want this to be a nice Christmas.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I do too. I want all of them to be nice Christmases.

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Now, let's talk about what's really bothering you.

    Beth Jarrett : No. No, let's talk about what's bothering you. 'Cause that's what you want, isn't it?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Jesus, what have I done to make you so angry with me?

    Beth Jarrett : It's not what you've done, it's what you think I've done. You blame me for the whole thing.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Can't you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?

    Beth Jarrett : No! I can't! And neither can you, and neither can anybody else! Only maybe I'm just a little more honest about it.
