The Best Little Girl in the World

Clay: How do you feel about all this, Casey? Casey: I don't know... I don't want to know. I don't want it and I hate it. Clay: What do you hate? Casey: My family. I hate them... but I want them... and I hate wanting them. Clay: Why do you hate it? Casey: I hate wanting. Wanting something means that you'll never get it. Joanne: Haven't we always given you what you wanted? You have everything you've asked for. Casey: Tell me one damn thing that I ever asked for? What... what did I ever ask for? I asked for nothing... and that's what I got. Gail got attention for screwin' up... and I got nothing for being good. Nothing from you... and nothing from Daddy. Joanne: That is not true. I love you. I wanted you to have everything. Casey: Everything that you *wanted* me to have! You don't let me choose my own clothes. You never liked my friends so I don't have any friends... and I *can't* take this pressure. Frank: Don't talk to your mother like that. Casey: Daddy, for *once* in my life I am telling you how I feel! I... I just want you to love me... no matter what I do.
