Quote from Esther Clavin in Ma Always Liked You Best
Cliff: I know what you're trying to do, Ma, and it's not going to work. You're trying to make me jealous. Huh. Well, I'm not going to be asking you to move back in with me. Don't you worry. I know your wily ways. You see, you're forgetting, I am a graduate student of the Esther Clavin School of Emotional Blackmail. Esther Clavin: Well, that, and a nickel will get you a civil service job. Cliff: Back off, Ma. Esther Clavin: Clifford, I'm not trying to get you jealous. I don't have to. I found a wonderful companion in Woody. He's like the son I never had. Cliff: Well, what about me? Esther Clavin: You are the son I did have.
