Big Love - Margene, Barb, and Nicki
  • Margene: Barb! Don't let her do it.
  • Barb: Do what?
  • Margene: Benny just told me what's going on. (looks at Nicki) She's trying to steal Bill for herself!
  • Nicki: I am doing nothing of the sort. All I want is a safe home for my daughter.
  • Margene: Oh, look. A big fat pig just flew past the window! Cara Lynn is just your excuse, as is a power-grab, pure and simple! I mean, you ALL but said it. You DID say it! 'I don't wanna share Bill.'
  • Barb: Well you can scarcely blame us if we all suspect that there might be some mixed motives at play, Nicki.
  • Margene: And protect her from who? From Gary, and now from her cousin? You are so controlling, you're alienating her.
  • (Cara Lynn listens in from the other room)
  • Nicki: I am controlling. She grew up on a compound. You don't know what that means; neither of you do. She's confused and messed up. I know! Oh, wait. Did I mention she just found out her abusive father is dead? That she is so damaged and twisted, she still thinks she loves him?
  • Barb: Well of course she's damaged, Nicki. Who wouldn't be?
  • Nicki: Oh, you have no idea!
  • (Wayne walks up to Cara Lynn)
  • Wayne: I thought you were getting more juice.
  • Cara Lynn: Barb's all out... Let's go.
  • (Cara Lynn and Wayne walk out)
  • Nicki: And it seems to me, not long ago, you were running around crying that a marriage degree was only a piece of paper. Or does that only apply to hot Serbian men?
  • Margene: That's different. I didn't lie and wait, watching and calculating, ready to pick us off one by one like a sniper!
  • (Nicki gets up)
  • Nicki: I am deeply...deeply insulted! I mean, if that's all you think this marriage means to me; if that's what you think is the depth of my commitment to us--
  • Barb: Nicki, sit down and stop grand standing! You ask as if this is nothing. There has never been a divorce in my family. Ever! Not even a paper one!
  • Margene: And I lived through my mom's divorces, and no matter hard everyone tries, they are ugly and they bring out the worst in people! I don't want that for our kids.
  • Nicki: If you wanna know who's truly threatening our happy home, you need to look no further than Barb and her wild ideas.
  • Barb: Do you MIND if I'M the one who tells her?
  • Margene: Oh no, what now?
  • Nicki: Barb wears the pants in this family now.
  • Barb: I leave it to you to reduce it to that!
  • Margene: What are you talking about?
  • Nicki: Barb has declared herself our new Priesthood Holder.
  • Margene: (confused) Like Bill and Ben?
  • Nicki: Exactly. She gives blessings, she preaches the Gospel, she makes all the decisions for us. But of course YOU'RE the expert now on Mormanism. I'm sure you know all that.
  • Barb: I believe women to be co-equal with men in our essential relationship with Heavenly Father.
  • Margene: Wait, what's so wrong with that?
  • Nicki: Ugh! Another perfect example of why I do not want you representing me in public!
  • Margene: You know, people think I'm the sunny face of Polygamy! I don't know why; maybe it's because I smile once in a while!
  • Barb: (To Nicki) You can be so utterly rigid and close-minded.
  • Nicki: No, this time it is NOT about me. It is not possible to overstate this! Bill's not gonna stand for it!
  • Barb: You don't give him enough credit.
  • Nicki: You know everything he does is about faith. Faith first, then family. What you are doing could tear us apart.
