Mom, I'd rather have 20 minutes of wonderful than a whole lifetime of nothing special.
Julia Roberts' character Shelby in "Steel Magnolias" talking to her mother about being pregnant. I love that movie and I did the play with a local theater group. I was Clairee
Jane--It's one of the "brat pack" movies that doesn't star Molly Ringwold and th actress who was "jules" has three kids with her first husband who I think is still a hunk and is married to her second much younger husband now.
Kim, I did SM last year,,,by the time I ended that show I was seriously hating it. I LOVED SM but the cast members were down right nasty women. Except for the woman who played Clairee and her friend Weezie,,,I know Im spelling it wrong.
"Some men just can't hold their arsenic"
From Chicago, in the song where they are all singing about the ways in which they killed their husbands.
Some contributions for guessing:

#2 - "Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. "

Oh Angie, I'm so sorry to hear that! I very much lucked out because we did the show with an alumni group from the college I attended. Tons of gals showed up for auditions, but the cast was made up of myself and 4 girls I had gone to college with! So it was a show about friendship being performed by 5 friends. It was an awesome experience.
mandalinn82 - you got the Chicago one right. But you lost me with your clues. The first one sounds familiar.... but I don't think I ever heard the 2nd one.
