Gloria Quote #539
Quote from Gloria in Patriot Games
Jackie: The United States government has how many branches?
Gloria: Three.
Jackie: Correct. What color are the stars on the American flag?
Gloria: White, but I feel like it's my duty to tell you that you have a flag right behind you so probably you need to ask me another question.
Jackie: No need. Congratulations. You passed.
Gloria: What? That's it? Two questions? And I have a cheat flag? That's all it takes?
Jackie: Yep. You'll get an official letter in the mail with the details of your oath ceremony.
Gloria: Do you know how long I've been studying for this? You're robbing me of the feeling of achievement. Ask me another question, and a hard one this time.
Jackie: But you already passed-
Gloria: Do it.
Jackie: Okay. How many members of Congress are there?
Gloria: You know what? It's too late. You already said that I passed.

Quote from Manny
Manny: But you also shouldn't worry about what Dad thinks. I think you should become a citizen because even back when we were alone in our apartment this is what you always wanted.
Gloria: Remember sitting by the window, watching reruns of Miami Vice on the neighbor's TV and all the bad guys were caught and all the policemen had all those nice cars?
Manny: We used to watch that and think what an amazing country this was.

Manny: Did a little research. If Mom isn't a citizen when Jay "moves on to a better place", we could be looking at a pretty hefty estate tax. I don't wanna sound insensitive but I have acquired a real taste for truffles.
