  Les Williams : Mm-hmm.

  Judy Williams : You gonna go see a doctor?

  Les Williams : Uh-uh.

  Judy Williams : What am I going to do with you?

  Les Williams : I don't know.

• Judy Williams : Why am I always the bad guy here? All I want for him is a good education. Now you know yourself what comes from an overactive imagination, disappointment.

  Les Williams : [to Earl and Larry]  I was a dreamer, I admit it, I was a dreamer, dreamed all the time, mostly about her, and I never was disappointed. I ever tell you about, had a cousin named Dealy? Spoiled, parents bought him everything he ever wanted, go to a store and he could pick out as many comic books as he wanted, science fiction.

  Judy Williams : And I bet he is digging ditches today for $2 an hour.

  Les Williams : No, he got a medical scholarship, he's a doctor over in Ross. Very successful.

  Judy Williams : Well if I thought comic books would get him a medical scholarship, I'd fill this house with them, but I don't.

• Les Williams : I know it's been a long day, boys, I know you're tired, but we're coming ot the big moment in the movie. So I want to see on your faces, that you're TERRIFIED! FRIGHTENED! But at the same time, brave, now Earl, you're the oldest brother, so I want to see more from you than I see from Larry, alright?

  Earl Williams : Okay.

  Les Williams : Now let's make a movie.

• Les Williams : You know, I went to Hollywood once, tried to make it in show business. It was a long, long time ago. Long time ago. Now that I think about it, I had a lot of courage, you know? Go out to Hollywood from a little old town down south, see all them beautiful people, beautiful lights. You know there's a big ol' hill, on top is a big ol' sign that says Hollywood; it just sort of lords over all them people. Yep, I was gonna paint my dreams right across the silver screen.

  Earl Williams : Did you meet anyone famous or work on any movies?

  Les Williams : No. No, I quit too soon. I gave up too soon. You know, you got a dream, you gotta stick with it, you gotta go for it, you can't back off. So make me a promise, you two have a dream, you go for it, with everything you got. Right?

  Earl Williams : Promise, Dad.

  Les Williams : I promise.
