Review of A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004) by Ibrahim M — 12 Dec 2009
'Cecil: Your mama thought you were golden so we named you after yellow flowers and corn. This is you here... [cuts some purslane from garden] Cecil: ...pretty, golden purslane. Pursy Will: Purslane's really a weed, you know. A neighbor told me when I was 9 and I ran over his tomato plants. He said all gardeners hate purslane. Cecil: Yeah, and dandelions. Doesn't stop kids from making wishes on 'em.'.
'Bobby Long: Well, years ago he trusted my opinion. Lawson Pines: Years ago you were easier to trust.'.
'Lawson Pines: Girl, you woke up productive. Bobby, come see what Pursy did. Bobby Long: I see what she didn't do. Leave. Pursy Will: She ain't gonna leave.'.
'Bobby Long: We cannot tear out a single page of our lives, but we can throw the whole book in the fire. Lawson Pines: George Sand. Bobby Long: Now I thought that would be a hard one.'.
