Robert Quote #212

Quote from Robert in Working Girl

Robert: Don't pay attention to them, Deb. This is a family of dream squashers.
Ray: Dream squashers?
Robert: That's right. Everything I ever dreamed of they said I couldn't do. The drums--
Marie: Oh please, the drums were the worst.
Robert: Major league baseball. My career in space.
Ray: You were 6' tall in the third grade. They'd have to fold you in half to stuff you into the capsule.
Robert: Mission Control, man. I could've been Houston. You go for it, Deb. Drop a rocket on your back and fly. Fly from the dream squashers.

Quote from Ray

Debra: God, look I can't go back there. It's just too humiliating. I just- Oh God, I don't know what happened to me. The whole time I was arguing with Charlotte I was thinking, "Come on, what are you doing? Stop talking." But I had to keep fighting for Pete Za.
Ray: You know, I know why you fight. It's because you're surrounded by Barones. It's a jungle here. It's survival of the fittest. No, if you didn't learn how to hold your own my mother would be wearing you as a coat.
Debra: Look, I'm not gonna blame your family for me losing my job.
Ray: Why not?
Debra: Because that's a big cop-out.
Ray: I'm doing it when I get fired from my job.

Quote from Marie

Charlotte Sterling: Yes, we do have an opening and I'm sure that you're a really fast learner. But I really need someone with more PR experience.
Marie: You don't understand. I have to get out of the house. My husband drives me crazy.
Charlotte Sterling: Okay. Thank you for your interest.
Marie: Before you make any final decisions, why don't you taste this lasagna?
Charlotte Sterling: Right now?
Marie: Oh, please, dear. You're so thin.

Robert: Pink, please. [off Raymond's nervousness] What?
Ray: I sense a great disturbance in the force.
Marie: [enters] Hello, dear!
Robert: You gotta teach me how you do that?
