"It like to have killed us all. But not a one took it as hard as Idgie. Everyone thought she'd die right along with him. Night after night, she stayed by the river. Big George was the only soul she'd let near her, and he watched over her night and day. You know, a heart can be broken, but it still keeps a-beating just the same."

"[to Frank, as she is helping Ruth move out of the house] If you ever touch her again, I'll kill you!"
