Big Boo:
[observing Pennsatucky's grave shrine to her aborted babies] It's like a whole little graveyard here.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
Yeah, these are all my unborn babies.

Big Boo:
Ooh. [sings] Ooh. She got the Mother's Day blues! [pause] Jesus, you look like the Angel of Death. I get that a lot.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
[about aborting her babies] Yeah, I'm goin' to hell. I know it. I mean, even though I was saved and everything, I just- they never even had a chance, you know?

Big Boo:
Son, you gotta let go of that sh*t.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
It's easy for you to say. I'm guessing you ain't never had to abort nobody.

Big Boo:
A bold assumption. You ever read a book called Freakonomics?

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
No. What's it about, bearded ladies and midgets?

Big Boo:
Close. It's about economic theory, cause and effect.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
Sounds boring.

Big Boo:
It's actually a pretty good read. They have this chapter in it, "Where Have All the Criminals Gone?"

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
Over there in that field.

Big Boo:
You know, in the 1990s, crime fell spectacularly, and this book attributes that to the passing of Roe v. Wade.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
The Darkness of '73.

Big Boo:
The exact opposite, actually. I mean, the abortions that occurred after Roe v. Wade These were children that weren't wanted. Children who, if their mothers had been forced to have them, would've grown up poor and neglected and abused, the three most important ingredients when one is making a felon.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
But they were never born.

Big Boo:
[ignores Pennsatucky] So, 20 years later, when they would've been of prime crime age, they weren't there. And the crime rate dropped dramatically.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
What's your point?

Big Boo:
Well, my point is that you were a meth-head, white-trash piece of sh*t, and your children, had they been born, would have been meth-head, white-trash pieces of sh*t. So by terminating those pregnancies, you spared society the scourge of your offspring. I mean, when you think about it, it's a blessing!

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett:
Never thought if it that way.
