• Vi Moore : [embracing]  Shaw?

  Reverend Shaw Moore : What?

  Vi Moore : We're almost dancing.

• Reverend Shaw Moore : [discussing Ariel]  We're losing her, Vi. Don't you see that?

  Vi Moore : No. I see you chasing after her and I see her running from you.

  Reverend Shaw Moore : She's become so willful, so obstinate.

  Vi Moore : She's like her father. The two of you were so wonderful once. You had so much to talk about. I was almost jealous.

  Reverend Shaw Moore : It's not as if we don't talk. It's just that sometimes people run out of things to say.

  Vi Moore : Shaw, it's 20 years now I've been a minister's wife. And I've been quiet, supportive, unobtrusive and after 20 years I still think you're a wonderful, a wonderful preacher. You can lift a congregation up so high they have to look down to see heaven. But it's the one to one where you need a little work.

• Vi Moore : None of this is going to undo one stupid accident.

  Reverend Shaw Moore : I'm responsible for the spiritual life of this community.

  Vi Moore : Shaw, you can't be a father to everybody. You can't do that.

  Vi Moore : [whispering]  I never stopped.

  Reverend Shaw Moore : Hi Andy.

  Vi Moore : Hi Andy.

  Andy Beamis : Reverend, you done a good thing here.

  Reverend Shaw Moore : Well, I'm still not sure it was the right thing.

  Andy Beamis : Comes close.

• Ren : [attempting to address the town hall meeting]  I'd like to say something if I could... .

  Eleanor Dunbar : [Standing up to interrupt Ren as the crowd murmurs and the gavel bangs]  This is outrageous!...
