Gracie : My brother Mark, he still lives in Richmond. He always says, "Keep your expectations low, and you'll never be disappointed." And I always forget that.
Elizabeth : How many brothers do you have?
Gracie : Four. Two older. Two younger. But I think you know that.
Elizabeth : So... what were your expectations?
Gracie : Uh, that tonight would go well. That my children would love me. And my life would be perfect.
Elizabeth : That was a little naive.
Gracie : I am naive. I always have been. In a way, it's been a gift.

Gracie : It's my understanding that the movie takes place between 1992 and 1994, am I wrong? So why would you need to know anything that happened after that?

Gracie : Honor, I got you that scale, as I told you at the time, as a tradition, because that's what my mother got me when I graduated from high school. You try going through life without a scale. See how that goes.

[Joe finds Gracie sobbing in bed]
Joe Yoo : What happened?
Gracie : [sniffling] Joyce in Mercer called and cancelled her order, and all future orders.
Joe Yoo : [sighs] I'm sorry.
Gracie : And I told her that I'd already made it, and she said that she would pay for it, but that she didn't need it. They were leaving town.
Joe Yoo : Where are they going?
Gracie : Her sister is sick or something.
[angrily]
Gracie : It doesn't matter. I wasted hours that I could have used.
Joe Yoo : You couldn't have known, Gracie.
Gracie : [sniffles] I just... I hate things like that.
[sobbing]
Gracie : And now I have this cake that's going to go right in the garbage.
Joe Yoo : You don't have to throw it in the garbage.
[Gracie sobs as Joe comforts her]

Gracie : Make yourself at home. Look around. Talk to people. Do what you have to do and get yourself a hot dog.
