Sister, Sister1982

Sissy Lovejoy:
That's why she wants the house. Her and Richard.

Carolyne Lovejoy:
NO! Because of everything I've done for this place! THIS HOUSE IS MINE!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
Maybe so, but you and the reverend will never live in it.

Carolyne Lovejoy:
No one's gonna stop me from living in this house!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
No one's gonna have to stop you. You're gonna stop yourself!

Carolyne Lovejoy:
What?

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
Didn't it ever seem odd to you that only Mama died in that fire? There were over 200 people in that church when it burned. Now why was it that only Mama remained in her pew?

Carolyne Lovejoy:
What are you talking about?

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
She didn't want to get out! She didn't want to escape!

Carolyne Lovejoy:
I'm not gonna listen to you, Freida!

Sissy Lovejoy:
Frieda, Freida, don't...

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
NO! Mama hated this house! She hated her role as maid and mammy and she came to hate Papa.

Carolyne Lovejoy:
That is not true. They loved each other!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
When Mama was pregnant with Sissy, she did everything she could to try to abort! And Papa being the upright Christian said that if she got rid of his seed, he would KILL HER! He wanted a LOVEJOY JR, but instead he got ANOTHER GIRL!

Sissy Lovejoy:
You see, I knew I wasn't...

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
Nobody ever wants nobody, girl! You have to want yourself.

Carolyne Lovejoy:
Stop it with your filthy lies!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
Papa put up a front! He put up a front as a good husband, and hated Mama for what he called her betrayal!

Carolyne Lovejoy:
Get out of this house with your malicious mouth!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
I don't say I haven't lied sometime in my life, but here and now let's bring in the truth! TRUTH! TRUTH about Papa, about Mama, about the Lovejoy family, about this awful house!

Carolyne Lovejoy:
I don't WANNA HEAR IT!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
Well, you're gonna hear it! I'm tired of living with lies! Tired of hearing about how good Papa was, and how good his life was! And how good this house was! [knocks over things on top on piano]

Carolyne Lovejoy:
Don't you DARE!

Freida Lovejoy Burton:
[Frieda starts trashing the house and Caroline runs after her, picking up things and beggin her to stop. Frieda faces her] WHERE DO YOU THINK I WAS LAST NIGHT?

Carolyne Lovejoy:
What are you trying to say?
