...i'm watching Mildred Pierce.
Ain't it just a fuckin' wonderful film?
Classic lines:
Veda (daughter): "You think just because you made a little money you can get a new hairdo and
some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't. Because you'll
never be anything but a common frump whose father lived over a grocery store and
whose mother took in washing."
Mildred (mother): "Veda, I think I'm really seeing you for the first time in my life and you're
cheap and horrible."
Veda: "With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and
your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from
this shack with its cheap furniture. And this town and its dollar days, and its women
that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls."
Mildred: "Get out, Veda...get out before I kill you!"
