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: 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 shit.
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: What's your point?
Big Boo: Well, my point is that you were a meth-head, white-trash piece of shit, and your children, had they been born, would have been meth-head, white-trash pieces of shit. 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.
Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett: Yeah, these are all my unborn babies.
