Dee: Vern tried to convince me that you and daddy are involved, but I refused to believe him.
Alma: Of course you did.
Dee: I told him you and daddy were good people, incapable of murder.
Alma: Exactly. Now, if I could just find that lipstick. Oh!
Dee: But that brings me back to Scooter. Why tell him I was pregnant? Scooter said you expected him to be angry at the news. I just keep thinking, if you thought he'd be angry, why tell him?
