Waitress (film)

"Dear Baby, I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight and thats all they do. They dont pull away. They dont look at your face. They dont try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it."

"Why did I get drunk? I do stupid things when Im drunk... like sleep with my husband!"

"[to Dawn] If I had a penny for everything I love about you, I would have many pennies."

"Dear damn baby, If you ever want to know the story of how we bought your damn crib, I will tell you. Your crib was bought with the money that was supposed to buy me a new life. Every time I lay you down in that damn crib, Im gonna think, Damn baby. Damn Crib. Me stuck like a pin in this damn life."

"I love living vicariously through the pain and suffering of others."

"Dear Baby: If I was writing you a letter, it would probably sounds something like an apology. I know everyone deserves a mama whod want a nice baby such as yourself... who was also a good wife, a fine member of a society. And I cant rightly say that Im any of that. And Im not sure the world is scuh a fine place to bringing you. Many of the people Ive met are not worth meeting. Many of the things that happened are not worth living through. And you shouldnt take it personal, Baby... if I dont seem like all the other mama-to-be, jumping all over themselves with joy. I frankly dont know what I got to give you, Baby. What if I leave Earl, and dont win that contest next week, and dont have money? What the hell am I gonna give you then? All my life, Baby, the only thing I wanna do is run away. What kind of mama is that? I wish I could think other things, Baby, like excitement that you with me now... or faith that Ill be a good mama... even if my life aint such a good place, and the world as I see it aint so pretty like theyd have you believe in this book. Anyway, writing this letter to you, sounds more like a letter writing to me, dont it? Love, Mama."
