“If you marry a man for his money, you will always end up earning it.”

“Life wasn’t the movies. Love never lasted forever.”

“Sunday before the Fourth of July; everyone went to church, she’d noticed over the years- even Jason insisted they show up. As if God were one of them and Jesus wore a cap that said “Make America Great Again” instead go a crown of thrones.”

“What was it Mama used to say? Her pearls of wisdom on the world? Money, sex, and power are the father, son, and the Holy Ghost of life, honey. Just remember that. And women can get all three if their not stupid. So don’t be stupid.”

“Hell hath no fury against a women scorned.”

“Giving people a choice is like a magic trick. You should always know what their answer will be in advance.”


“I’ll give you a choice, just like I gave your wife. Would you like me to leave Marcie be? To let her live her live regardless of the harm she causes others? Regardless of her slow murder of you in here? Do you love her enough for that? Or would you like me to take her own life from her when she’s least expecting it? A fitting punishment for a murderess, perhaps? As I did with William for Eleanor? The choice is yours.”
