Robert E. 'Bob' Howard:
Hey girl. Take a look at the sunset that I ordered for you.

Novalyne Price:
Do you see any children in here for me to defile with my damns?

Robert E. 'Bob' Howard:
To make life worth living a man or woman has to have a great love or a great cause... I have neither.

Novalyne Price:
Well, yeah, that's right, thanks indeed, thank God! If it wasn't for teachers like me, there would be more individuals like you, socially inept, hatin the world, prattlin off pompous ideas that no one wants to hear in the first place. Bob Howard, if you do not take some initiative you are going to end up a miserable old man, sittin at home with no friends and no life. And another thing! Don't you ever EVER imply that I do not know how to teach, because then you really are talking about something that you know nothing about. Now why don't you run on home, your momma's waitin for you.
