Mary Ellen Walton : [when Olivia asks how she met Kevin Sturgess] Well, I was wading in the lake, just cooling off. I turned around and there he was. Tall and handsome. Sun makin' his hair shine. It was just like a movie!
Olivia Walton : Sounds like it.
Mary Ellen Walton : And it all happened so fast! He thinks I'm lots older than I am.
Olivia Walton : And you didn't bother to correct the impression.
Mary Ellen Walton : Oh, Mama, I just couldn't! Well, when it was happening, I wasn't 14. 14 is just a kid. Well, I don't really know how to explain it. Well, lots of times lately, I just don't feel like a kid.
Olivia Walton : I know. Your body's saying one thing and your emotions and experience are sayin' somethin' else and they don't always talk together.
Mary Ellen Walton : That's right. That's it exactly!
