Tiger Ann Parker:
I'm bleedin' from inside.

Jewel:
Go get yourself some rags. You got the curse.

Tiger Ann Parker:
I got a curse?

Jewel:
From now on, you can look forward to it every month till you're too old like me. Then, thank the Lord, it's over. That's the only good thing I can think of about gettin' older.

Corrina:
What's wrong, Tiger?

Tiger Ann Parker:
I got the curse, Mama.

Corrina:
Oh, Tiger, I'm so happy for you!

Tiger Ann Parker:
It's a curse! Grandma just said so. It's a curse.

Corrina:
It's not a curse! It's beautiful! Oh, it's a little messy and sometimes your tummy hurts, but I couldn't have you till I was bleedin' every month, and havin' a baby, havin' you, was the best thing that ever happened to me.
