Peggy: [Referring to her mother] After Daddy went to bed, she'd sneak out on the porch, smoke her pipe and just cry.Molly Flynn: Why was she crying?Peggy: I told you. It was on that farm. We barely scraped by. [Her voice gets quieter] And when things get really bad, Daddy got angry.Molly Flynn: Angry, how?Peggy: He started hitting. The walls. The dog.Molly Flynn: You?Peggy: He tried, but Momma wouldn't let him. So, he turned it all on her.Molly Flynn: [Sadly, softly] Peggy, I had no idea.Peggy: How could you? No one knew. First chance I had, I lit outta there and never looked back.Molly Flynn: Well, of course, I mean what choice did you have?Peggy: [Fighting tears, disappointed in herself] I left her there. She protected me all those years, and I just abandoned her.Molly Flynn: I- I'm sure that all your mother ever really wanted was for you to be safe.Peggy: Who was keeping her safe?Molly Flynn: Well, you were a kid. There was nothing you could do about that.Peggy: I could have stayed.Molly Flynn: [Both of them fighting tears now] Then you wouldn't have lived the life that you were supposed to live. And I never would have met the strongest woman that I've ever known. Or my amazing husband.Peggy: [Taking a deep breath] It's always about you. [They both laugh through their tears] Guess that's why I hold onto Mikey so tight. I don't want to- abandon anyone ever again.Molly Flynn: He knows you're not going anywhere. We've both come to terms with that. [They laugh and Peggy hugs her close]
