Norman Bates' Mother: [in police custody, as Norman is thinking] It's sad, when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. But I couldn't allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They'll put him away now as I should have years ago. He was always bad, and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man, as if I could do anything but just sit and stare, like one of his stuffed birds. They know I can't move a finger and I won't. I'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do... suspect me. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching... they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, "Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...”

Jumbo? Great, besty, bring tears to my eyes, why don'tcha?
Dumbo was a beautiful movie that traumatized me! Animated creatures should never lose their mamas.

I've always loved the mom from A Christmas Story.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo.
Nice pick Marianne2. Lucy, playing drunk in that film was inspired and wonderfully funny!
The great thing with human brains is they're fanless, nice and quiet although I'm sure mine whistles a bit sometimes.

Beth Broderick's Mrs. Forrest in PSYCHO BEACH PARTY.
Although Joan Crawford's Mildred Pierce is a close second--
"Get out, Veda. Get out before I kill you!"
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."
