Act 1, Scene 6 Flashcards
(1) Aileen: You really got to take care of yourself, Pixie.
I know, Aileen. I’m eating breakfast every morning.
(2) Linda: … She was selling LSD and pot.
Duh, it was the 70s.
(3) Linda: … won our case against the State of Texas!
Holy crap! I won? [Hug.] So now I can get my abortion?
(4) Sarah: Which is completely outrageous, but -
I can still get my abortion -
(5) Linda: … You couldn’t get an abortion anyway!
What?!
(6) Linda: But Norma would later claim in her book -
She let me believe I could get my abortion.
(7) Sarah: … appeal to the Supreme Court. And then abortion could be legal for the whole country!
The Supreme Court? You must think I’m about as confused as a fart in a fan factory. They don’t have time to listen to come little ole Texas girl!
(8) Linda: It’s your choice.
Well… I guess I want y’all…
(9) Aileen: … Pixie, if you felt betrayed?
I thought she liked me, asking all those questions in that pizza parlor? She dressed so nice, spoke so sophisticated… Besides - me talkin’ to the Supreme Court? I never did one single good thing in my life and here was my chance.
(10) Linda: … She would later say, in her second book…
I was stoned. [Punch stomach.]
(11) Aileen: Yeah, where’s that in your books?
They gave me a shot to dry up my milk. But the nurse fucked up and brought it to me at feeding time.
(12) McCluskey: Oh, it was a girl.
Lucky kid. Would you want me for a mother?
(13) McCluskey: … Wild Turkey, etc, but…
Hell, I couldn’t do nothin’ right.
