Quotes 

• Jennifer : I couldn't ask for help. I was waiting for you to save me. Somehow in my mind, it couldn't be anybody else. It had to be you. Why didn't you?

  Mrs. G : No one saved me.

• Jennifer : When I was a child, I was obsessed with changing myself.

• Jennifer : [referring to Mrs. G]  She was probably abused as a child herself...

  Nettie : You don't know that!

  Jennifer : ...Trust me mom, I know.

• Jennifer : [sarcastically shouting]  What? Hasn't anybody else here had *sex* with Bill?

• Jennifer : Don't you think it's a little cult-like? I mean, I didn't think it at the time, but now in retrospect? You know, the whole group thing. Worshiping pain, endurance, it's a bit religious, don't you think?

  Mrs. G : Really... really, Jenny?... I expected so much more of you.

• Jennifer : [Staring at an 11-year-old photo of herself from the 1970's]  I was so little!
