From the movie: The women

- Mom, Stephen's having an affair.

- What?

- I can't believe those words came out of my mouth.That just makes me sick to my stomach.

- Who is she, one of your friends?

- No, she sells perfume at Saks.

- She's a spritzer girl?

- I mean, how could I not have known? Three months ago, he bought cowboy boots.
I just can't believe this is happening to me. I thought we were happy.

- What are you gonna do?

- What do you mean?

- I'm gonna tell him to move out.

- Well, that's not very smart. Someone once said... ...that when you don't know what to do, do nothing.

- Mom, my husband of 13 years is having an affair.
I mean, do they talk about me when they're in bed?
Do they laugh at me?
Please don't tell me to pretend that nothing happened.
You have no idea how this feels.

- Well, let me try. It feels like someone kicked you in the stomach. It feels like your heart stopped beating. It feels like that dream. You know, the one where you're falling and you want so desperately to wake up...
...before you hit the ground, but it's all out of your control. You can't trust anything anymore. No one is who they say they are. Your life is changed forever. And the only thing to come out of the whole ugly experience... ...is no one will ever be able to break your heart like that again.

- I can't believe you never told me that.

- I wanted you to love your father.

- Jeez, I mean, who was she?

- Some little skank who sold fabric.
I met her once.She wore too much makeup and her bra straps were always showing.

- What did you do when you found out?

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

- I had a smart mother too.
Mary, that girl does not mean anything more to Stephen... ...than the fabric whore meant to your father.
If he loved her, believe me, you would have felt it.

- I can't fake it, Mom. I can't be anywhere near him right now.
