And if you think I'm gonna suddenly burst into tears and tell you all my deepest, darkest secrets, well, then you're just lame-brained enough to think that you know anything about my family. And god knows from looking at you, you don't have a clue about what it means to be a good wife.
Latisha Rogers: You right. I don't know.
Joanie: DON'T placate me. I will slap that smug look off your face before you can get your fat ass off my couch. Now I don't know how a functionally retarded person got a police badge but unless you've come to arrest me, you can waddle out of here with the rest of the birds.

John: Well, it has to be.
-- Joanie
