Barbara Ann Quotes in Good Boy! (2003)

Barbara Ann: [When she learns that Owen can understand what dogs say] Can we just talk about how pretty I am?

Barbara Ann: Everybody has got to love me. Everybody. This is my year. My horoscope says I am going to be famous. I am a Capricorn and I can't miss. I deserve it, too. I've been good. I haven't done bad things with boys. Well, a little. But not really bad. And only if I liked a boy.

Stella Bernard: You lied to me, Miss Greene. You permitted me to believe your father was dead.

Barbara Ann: Well, they're divorced.

Stella Bernard: In our family we don't divorce our men; we *bury* 'em!

Stella Bernard: My son is a dear boy. He's also a *total* idiot. He takes after his late father.

Stella Bernard: I buried my husband ten years ago. He died at home, yeah. Right there - right on that spot you're sitting on.

Barbara Ann: Oh, how awful! How did he die?

Stella Bernard: All psychosomatic. Absolutely *nothing* wrong with him physically. Case of "death wish," pure and simple. Everything, Miss Greene, *everything* - it's in the mind. You decide to die, then you do it, pfft! That's all there is to it.

Barbara Ann: What do you want from me? I'll be a cocktail waitress, like Marie... Oh, the hell I will. I'll do something else. I'll... I'll be a prostitute, that's what I'll be. You get to pick your customers. And you get paid for it. That sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it? I'll be a prostitute.

Alan: [soberly] Barbara Ann...

Barbara Ann: Yes?

Alan: There's been an accident... There has been an accident.
