Rebecca Quote #290
Quote from Rebecca in Sammy and the Professor
Sam: So she was your, uh, best student, huh?
Alice: Oh, God, no. But she was one of my favorites. Oh, sure, some of the kids got better grades, some were more creative, and some you just knew were going to make it, but Rebecca... Oh, gee, what was my point? Oh, yes. No one wanted success more fiercely than Becky Howe. You just can't beat determination. Even today, I hold Rebecca up as an example to my students.
Rebecca: You do?
Alice: You bet. I tell them about that little talk we had at the end of the senior year. Remember what I said to you?
Rebecca: That I flunked the final, and have to repeat the course in summer school, and get my diploma in the mail?
Alice: Uh-huh. And you did it. You held your head up and persevered. Anyone else would have had a nervous breakdown.
Rebecca: I did have a nervous breakdown.
Alice: But you completed the course, as well as, uh, several lovely macrame plant hangers.
Woody: And today she's our leader.

Quote from Woody
Woody: Boy, it's getting scary around here.
Norm: Why do you say that, Woody?
Woody: Well, I mean, if Carla's getting audited, can I be far behind?
Norm: Come on, Woody. From what you make, and the way you handle it, if you made a dollar less, I do believe you'd qualify for food stamps.
Woody: All right. Then I'm sitting pretty.
Quote from Rebecca
Sam: You know what I love about your book is the way you lay out that whole philosophy thing... Dare, decide it, do it. That's just so memorable.
Alice: Well, that was no accident. The common denominator is commitment.
Sam: Plus they all begin with Ds.
Alice: Yeah, well... The key is decisiveness. You know, that was always Rebecca's failing in school. She could never take a stand. She always had to ask what somebody else thought before she knew what she thought.
Rebecca: But I've changed since then.
Waiter: Have you made a decision, ma'am? The rest of your party are halfway through their salads.
Rebecca: Is the swordfish fresh?
Waiter: It was when you started ordering.
Quote from Rebecca
Rebecca: All right, I know what I want now. Not chicken.
Sam: I'll have the spinach salad, lamb chops in mint jelly, and the broiled new potatoes.
Rebecca: That sounds good. How'd you come up with such a great combo?
Sam: It's the number 2.
Rebecca: What's this?
Waiter: It's our dessert menu. I thought you might like to hit the ground running.
