Latisha Rogers
You do know he was having an affair?
Joanie
I believe I said as much.
Latisha Rogers
You're also aware you have a life insurance policy on him.
Joanie
And he's got one on me too.
Latisha Rogers
Ma'am, do you ever want your husband gone?
Joanie
Excuse Mommy for one second.
[covers her son's ears with her hands]
Joanie
[to Rogers]
You think you can walk into my home and disrespect me and my family? I will take you down so quick your undies will be strung around your neck like a doily. And if you think I'm gonna suddenly burst into tears and tell you all my deepest, darkest secrets, well, then you're just lame-brained enough to think that you know anything about my family. And god knows from looking at you, you don't have a clue about what it means to be a good wife.
Latisha Rogers
You right. I don't know.
Joanie
DON'T placate me. I will slap that smug look off your face before you can get your fat ass off my couch. Now I don't know how a functionally retarded person got a police badge but unless you've come to arrest me, you can waddle out of here with the rest of the birds.
[uncovers her son's ears and smiles]
Joanie
And make sure John gets home safe and sound. And go ahead and grab a girl scout cookie on your way out. They're fat-free.
Latisha Rogers
[turns to leave, then stops]
Just curious. Why'd you let your daughter listen and cover your son's ears?
Joanie
So she knows how to defend herself and he remembers how to speak to a lady.
Latisha Rogers
[leaves the house, closes the front door behind her]
Well, shit.
