Mary Lou O'Brian : Well I'm not here to make it easy for her.
Guido Levits : Someone's got to be.
Mary Lou O'Brian : She was wrong and you know it!
Guido Levits : For what? For trying to do something you couldn't? You're great Mary Lou, but you need her. The farm needs her. So stop being so scrimey to her.

Guido Levits : Mora?
Annie Garrett : Yeah, where is she?

Annie Garrett : So we just... we just pull up stakes and go to Virginia?
Ross Garrett : Well, my truck ain't runnin' right now, but if you got a little bit of cash we could... make her good as new.
Annie Garrett : Why don't you just use my half of the $2,000 you ran off with?
Ross Garrett : Who told you about that?
Annie Garrett : [getting angry] Or... we could tell Taylor she's going with us, and then leave her asleep in a stall!
Ross Garrett : Look, that was in her head. I never promised her I'd take her.
Annie Garrett : Oh, you're pathetic! There was a time when I would've smashed your face for walking out on us, now I just feel sorry for you. Get outta here!
