Quote from Sue in Birds of a Feather

Sue: Professor Grant, I'm sorry. I just can't give you what you want. And believe me, I tried. I talked to a crazy guy. I watched an Anderson Cooper marathon. I stayed up all night listening to Joni Mitchell albums.
Professor Grant: What are you talking about?
Sue: Look, I know you think being deep is important, but I think other things are important. Like seeing the best in people, and believing that the human spirit is what gives us the gift to face the world with curiosity and optimism. [sighs] It's nothing personal. You are obviously very deep and intelligent and a little bit handsome, and that's great, but you just can't take someone who has thought one way their whole life and convince them to think your way. I am never gonna understand your side of things, and you are never gonna understand mine. And the more you force me to do it, the angrier I am gonna get, and we are just gonna go at each other forever! It's never gonna work!
Professor Grant: That's it. Right there.
Sue: What's it? Right where?
Professor Grant: That's the crack I was talking about.
Sue: Really?
Professor Grant: [laughs] Yes, yes! That's the passion I wanted to see. I want you to argue with me. Take a stand. Paint a painting. Go and see a band that you thought you hated. That's what college is about. Do it.
Sue: I will. I will do it. Right now. And I am not saying that to be agreeable. I get it. I get it! We will argue later.
Frankie: [v.o.] Turns out, there was a recipe after all. With a dash of enlightenment and a scoop of tough love, Sue cracked herself open and found more than just rainbows and unicorns. It was still mostly rainbows and unicorns, 'cause let's face it, Sue is always gonna be Sue.
