主妇伊夫林•莱恩（朱丽安•摩尔 饰）共有十个孩子，虽然丈夫收入不多，但生活不成问题。当时美国盛行广告词设计有奖竞赛，结婚前在出版社工作的伊夫林有此优势，便常常得到很多日用用品及电器，家中的孩子都十分尊敬这位出色的母亲，她也常常与孩子们一起快乐的想参赛的字句。 　　而她的丈夫面对出色的妻子，心中总是有种自卑的感觉，夫妻俩开始有争吵。她的丈夫有酗酒的习惯，她与孩子们都知道，如果不是丈夫把钱都用在买酒上，他们的生活不会那么拮据。伊夫林每天都心里总是想着自己的丈夫与孩子们，她包容丈夫的陋习。 　　可是这时候，丈夫竟然把他们的房子做了第二期的按揭，一个月后如果无法偿还债务，孩子们便要寄养到亲友的家里。一家人都彷徨伤心及了，并寄望伊夫林能在参加的最近一次比赛中能脱颖而出

That's why I don't have a problem paying bills.
Hello, vernon.
Anything for me today?
You want something in life, you got to pay for it.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Hey, Ray.
Oh, hold on.
How do you like that?
I won two dollars in the poetry contest for The Toledo Blade.
There you go.
There he goes.
Yeah. You want the money?
I'm sorry I made such a mess, Mommy.
Well, actually, honey, if I had gotten the door any sooner, then the milkman would have left before the mailman arrived, and we wouldn't have had any milk for our dinner tonight.
So, there you go.
It was all meant to be.
This is what happens to one's literary efforts once placed in the mailbox.
For the big contests, they go sailing off to New York City to be judged.
The average count is a million and a half entries.
A million and a half. Imagine that!
Each entry is first checked to make sure it's accompanied by proof of purchase.
You don't pay, you don't play.
Next they go to the juniorjudges.
College English majors, mind you, who are instructed to eliminate the trite, the obvious and the inept. Oh, dear.
