Rose Quote #253

Quote from Rose in Love, Rose

Isaac Newton: But being Vice-Principal of a junior high school isn't as glamorous as it used to be. Oh, sure I still get to store all the Chocolate Clusters in my garage from the new band uniform drive, and of course I am the adviser to the French Club. But, you know, for the last fifteen years I've been asking myself, "Is that enough?" And a week ago I answered myself with a big fat "no".
Rose: Good for you, Isaac. It takes a special man to talk to himself like that.
Isaac Newton: Well, merci. That's French for "thank you". Anyway, that's when I decided it's about time I fulfilled my lifelong dream to join those daring men who soar above the earth.
Rose: You want to be an astronaut?
Isaac Newton: Oh, no. No, I don't like to go to the bathroom in my suit. I want to be a traffic reporter. I want the name Isaac Newton to be remembered.
Rose: You're remarkable, Isaac. All this and citrus farming, too.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: Sophia gets chased, and I don't even get a letter.
Sophia: You want Willy, you can have him.
Rose: What's wrong with him?
Sophia: There's nothing wrong with him. OK, so he's 90. He has the profile of a tom-turkey and his butt hits his heels when he walks. He thinks he can pull it off because he wears an ascot and a jaunty cap.
Dorothy: He sounds kinda cute, Ma. I mean, why are you avoiding him?
Sophia: There's no magic, Dorothy. No sparks. You know what I mean?
Dorothy: He's 90; you're 80. Sparks are dangerous.
