Dick Quote #1029
Quote from Dick in Dick Solomon of the Indiana Solomons
Mary: You better sit down. Dick, when your father fell in love with your mother, she had just arrived from Lithuania. She was poor, she didn't speak any English. The family didn't approve of her.
Dick: Mommy?
Mary: Anyway... your father was forced to choose between her and the family, and he chose her.
Dick: Daddy?
Mary: So the family disowned him, and it was Jacob's father who cut him out of the family furniture business.
Dick: Cast out onto the street by his own flesh and blood? My god, Mary. My family is despicable.
Mary: Ah, you get used to it.

Quote from Dick
Dick: You know, Mary, the great thing about rediscovering your roots is... you suddenly have a whole new world of people to blame for, you know, everything.
Quote from Mary
Dick: They're right. You can't go home again. So much for "family" and "brotherhood" and "home is where the heart is." What a bunch of crap!
Mary: Now you know where I've been coming from. You go home for the holidays, you see that beautiful Christmas tree in the window. Everything looks so idyllic. And all of a sudden there's your mother swinging a five-iron at your father's head, and the tree's in the eggnog.
Dick: How do you deal with it?
Mary: I repress. Repression is the key to a happy family.
Dick: Doesn't sound very healthy.
Mary: If you yell and scream, you end up sounding like your mother. I'm gonna go get another drink.
Dick: Didn't you just finish one?
Mary: Get off my back!
Quote from Dick
Mary: Are you gonna visit her?
Dick: We have a family reunion this weekend. It sounds like it's gonna be wonderful. You wanna come?
Mary: Are you sure it's all right?
Dick: Well, of course it's all right.
Mary: Oh, Dick, it's family, I-
Dick: No, don't worry, Mary. I'm sure you'll find my family to be warm and nurturing. It won't bear any resemblance to the liquor-drenched orgy of hatred and recrimination that marks every Albright get-together.
