The Hanging Garden

Grace the Nun:
Father, can you come and bless this Virgin [statue] for the lady, please?

Iris:
No no, that's not necessary, please don't bother him ...

Grace the Nun:
That's what he's here for, it's included! Father, are you ready to bless the Virgin or what? [The priest comes up to the store counter and picks up the Virgin statuette.] Oh hang on now, she hasn't got the receipt. How many times do I tell you, don't bless the Virgin until you get the receipt!

Teen Rosemary:
[to her brother William:] Could you get dressed, Willie, I wanna get out of here.

Grace:
Where ya goin'?

Teen Sweet William:
There's a stupid dance at school.

Grace:
You goin' to a dance? Oh, dear God in heaven! [to granddaughter Rosemary] Now, you know to count to six?

Teen Rosemary:
What?

Grace:
If you're gonna kiss a boy, you got to count to six while you're doin' it. And then stop! After six it's a sin.

Grace:
[sending her grandchildren off to a school dance. To granddaughter Rosemary.] You got pockets? You carrying your protection with you?

Teen Rosemary:
What?!

Grace:
Started when your father was young. Every party dress had to have pockets. [fetches something from her chest-of-drawers.] Now ... Your hands. These'll keep you safe. [lowers a rosary into Rosemary's open hands.] Now, you feel some of that ... that hocus-pocus comin' into your body ... you don't have to worry.
