Chris Flanders: Yes. That's why I came.
Flora 'Sissy' Goforth: Well, well. I've escorted six husbands to the eternal threshold and come back alone without them. Now it's my turn. I've no choice but to do it, but I want to do it alone. I don't want to be escorted. I want to go forth alone. And you... you counted on touching my heart because you knew I was dying. Well, you miscalculated with this one. The milk train doesn't stop here anymore.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (At 47.20) Elizabeth Taylor's character mentions that the hot sun is giving her a "big shot of vitamin B". Incorrect: vitamin D is the only vitamin that comes from the sun. See more »Quotes
