Beverly Quote #955

Quote from Beverly in I Coulda Been a Lawyer

Erica: Whoa, what's all this?
Beverly: I figured it was time to pursue a new dream.
Erica: I thought you said being a mom was your dream.
Beverly: And it is. But you were right. What kind of example would I be setting if I just gave up on all my other dreams?
Erica: These are just recipes.
Beverly: I've decided to write a cookbook.
Erica: Oh, my God, yes! I pitched you diplomat and not cookbook? What is wrong with me?
Beverly: Nothing! You still got me here! So, thank you, Boopie.
Erica: No need to thank me. It's just good to know your dreams don't end with me.
Beverly: And even better? Your dreams are just starting, and there's no way I'm gonna let you give up before you even begin.
Erica: I just picked an impossible dream, you know?
Beverly: Schmoopie, all dreams seem impossible. You've just got to put in the work.

Barry: That's all I got. And technically, I'm a Pisces, but I don't want to be no stupid fish.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: I've been saying it since the first time I ran that stop sign, that intersection is an accident waiting to happen, and it's high time Mama fixes the problem! You could've been seriously hurt!
Adam: How? I wasn't even there.
Beverly: But you could've been.
Adam: That's true.
Beverly: And, God forbid, you could've gone through the windshield like a delicious, little sack of potatoes, and, God forbid, a piece of glass could have lodged in your brain!
Adam: Oh, no!
Beverly: Thank God the shard got lodged in a place where you're fine, and they don't need to operate.
Adam: Thank God.
Beverly: But, God forbid, 20 years from now, you could sneeze, and boom! The shard shifts, and you're a veggie.
Adam: But I sneeze all the time!
Beverly: This is a parent's worst nightmare, and it's all because of a stupid stop sign!

Quote from Beverly

Adult Adam: [v.o.] And when she sent us off, that's when my mom's work really began. Yes, I'm calling about my flight to Fort Lauderdale, which might as well have been to hell because that's what my back and upper groin have been in since we landed. What does "TWA" stand for, anyway? "The Worst Airline"? You know what, Wayne? Just connect me to your supervisor. I'm gonna need to speak to your supervisor, Lydia. You know what? I need to talk to your supervisor. Just connect me to your supervisor. Well, maybe your supervisor feels differently. Let me speak to someone higher. Well, maybe your supervisor can help me. You know what? I demand to speak to your supervisor. Oh, you're the CEO? Well, then, I'm gonna need two first-class tickets and a mess of those little pretzel bags.
