      • Joe Sante: Mama, you're the only thing I have... You and Teresa are the only thing I have in the world.
      • Mrs. Sante: Don't ever come near me again.
      • Joe Sante: Mommy, you don't mean that.
      • Mrs. Sante: Yes, I mean it. I am so ashamed. I will go to my grave buried in your shame the way papa did. You did this to us, Joe. And we tried so hard to teach you when you very little. How we failed.
