Quote from Beverly in Mr. Ships Ahoy
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Back in the '80s, the economy was booming, Americans were heading into the office. No one was more into working 9:00 to 5:00 than my mom. [Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 plays over a montage of Beverly waking up, getting ready for work and commuting] Beverly: [sings along] ♪ Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living ♪ Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving ♪ They just use your mind, and they never give you credit ♪ It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it ♪ Principal Ball: What do you think you're doing? Beverly: Oh, I'm just exercising my right as an American to complain about the rat race, the grind, the old 9:00 to 5:00. But secret story... I love it. Principal Ball: But we're a school. We start at 8:00. Beverly: But the Dolly Parton song... Principal Ball: Look, no one loves the Smoky Mountain Songbird more than I do, but that Backwoods Barbie has no bearing on our hours. Beverly: My coworkers/best buds will share a chuckle about our overbearing boss. [they both laugh] You're a joke.
