Adult Dean: Funny. Instead of being bored enough to jump out the window and shoot myself on the way down, I actually wanted to learn more about Mama and her job.
Dean: So... Did you always want to work here?
Lillian: You know... I didn't know what I wanted to do, but none of the women in my family had careers. I knew I wanted more than what Waugh, Alabama, had to give me, so I went to college and then I got my master's. And then, after months of searching for work without so much as an interview, I saw a posting about a job at the Department of Treasury. Never thought I'd get it, but like I tell you and your brother and your sister...
Dean: "Give out before you give up."
Lillian: That's right. I tried. And I got the job.
Adult Dean: Sometimes, you don't appreciate the rare beauty of a unicorn until you see it in the wild.
Dean: So, you had to get a master's to work here?
Lillian: Baby, I'm the only one here who has a master's.
