Eugene

Listen to this, [reading from the newspaper] "Hillside Strangler gets his college degree in prison".

Beverly

That's nice, dear.

Eugene

Nice? He should have been executed!

Misty

He killed people, mom!

Beverly

We all have our bad days.

[Beverly calls Dottie Hinkle]

Hello?

Beverly Sutphin

Is this the **** residence?

God damn you! Stop calling here!

Beverly Sutphin

Isn't this 4215 Pussy Way?

You bitch!

Beverly Sutphin

Now let me check the zip code. Two-one-two-****-you?

The police are tracing this call this very minute.

Beverly Sutphin

Well, Dottie Hinkle, then why aren't they here, huh, ****face?

**** YOU! [hangs up]

Beverly Sutphin
[laughs manically]
[Beverly immediately calls Dottie back]

Didn't I just say **** you!?

Beverly Sutphin
[in a different voice]

I beg your pardon!

Who is this?

Beverly Sutphin

Mrs. Wilson from the telephone company. We understand you're having some trouble with an obscene phone caller?

Oh, Mrs. Wilson, I'm so sorry. These calls are driving me crazy! I'm a divorced woman, please help me.

Beverly Sutphin

Well what exactly does this sick individual say to you?

I can't say the words out loud, I don't use bad language.

Beverly Sutphin

Oh yes, I know it's difficult, but we need to know the exact words.

I'll try. ****, that's what she calls me.

Beverly Sutphin
[reverting to the original voice]

Listen to your filthy mouth, you ****in' whore!

Goddamn you!

Beverly Sutphin

Mother ****er!

**** sucker!

So happy I could shit.

Beverly

Chip! You know how I hate the brown word.

Misty

Mother! It's Carl! He's dead!

Beverly

How horrible. Oh, I just sold the Peewee Herman doll!

You know Mom, Scotty thinks you're the killer.

Beverly
[laughs]

Does he? You know, for someone who doesn't wear his seatbelt Scotty sure is nosy.

Tell me the truth, Mom. Really, it's okay with me. Are you a serial killer?

Beverly

Chip, the only serial I know anything about is Rice Krispies!

Birdie

You're bigger than Freddy and Jason now! Only you're a real person!

Beverly

Do you think I need a lawyer?

You need an agent!

Beverly

Mrs. Hinkle, do you drink?

No, I don't.

Beverly

So you weren't drunk when you received those alleged obscene phone calls?

I certainly was not.

Beverly

You mean to tell me the day I came over to Mrs. Ackerman's, the day you claim you recognized my voice, you weren't drinking?

One beer with lunch is hardly drinking.

Beverly

So you do drink?

Socially. I'll have a beer.

Beverly

So you admit you just lied?

No I don't, you bitch!

Judge

Watch your mouth, Mrs. Hinkle.

[Beverly whispers "**** you" to Dottie]

Did you see her?! She just said "**** you" to me!

Beverly

Let the record show I'm merely standing here!

**** you too, you whore!

Judge

I'm warning you, Mrs. Hinkle. One more obscenity and I'll charge you with contempt of court.

Beverly

Mrs. Hinkle, are you insane?

No I'm not, you mother ****er!

Beverly

You can't wear white shoes after Labor Day!

Juror #8

That's not true anymore.

Beverly

Yes it is! Didn't your mother tell you?

Juror #8

No! Please! Fashion has changed!

Beverly

No, it hasn't.
