Quote from Beverly in A Night to Remember
Jackie: Mrs. Goldberg? Beverly: I've come on behalf of my boy. Jackie: Uh, what exactly is happening here? Beverly: It's like that book "Cyrano," where his mom comes and speaks on behalf of her son. Okay, I've never read it, but I know I'm close. Mrs. Geary: Who's down there? What's going on? Beverly: Oh, it's okay. It's Beverly Goldberg, Adam's mom. I'm just appealing to your daughter to reconsider my son as a romantic prospect. Mrs. Geary: Shouldn't your son be doing that? Beverly: Well, she kind of caught him in a lie, which is all my fault. The point is, this is what mamas do. Right?
