Quote from Carla in An American Family

Diane: Carla, if you felt this way, why on earth did you give that child away?
Carla: Because I could never say no to that man. You know, I never even wanted to go out with him in the first place. He won me over. I didn't wanna go to bed with him. He won me over. I didn't wanna marry him. I didn't wanna have five kids. Our whole history is me saying no and him winning me over. Like the other day in there? He held my hand. And he got real close to me, and then he batted those eyelashes at me. And he said, "Carla, you know why I want that kid? Cos he is a part of you. He's the only part of you I have."
Diane: Nick said that?
Carla: Let's not even discuss it. It's over, the kid is his. He's coming by today to have me sign the papers.
Sam: Dammit, Carla. If you don't wanna sign, don't sign. I mean, stand up to the guy.
Carla: Well, of course I'm going resist. But if I happen to alone with him for a second, I'll melt.
Diane: Then there's one simple solution, we shan't let you alone with him. Right, everyone?
All: We shan't!
