Lisa, Lisa Quotes
Joan Brandwyn: It was my choice... not to go. He would have supported it.
Katherine Watson: But you don't have to choose.
Joan Brandwyn: No, I have to. I want a home; I want a family, that's not something I'll sacrifice.
Katherine Watson: No-one's asking you to sacrifice that, Joan, I just want you to understand you can do both.
Joan Brandwyn: Do you think I'll wake up one morning and regret not being a lawyer?
Katherine Watson: Yes, I'm afraid that you will.
Joan Brandwyn: Not as much as I regret not having a family, not being there to raise them. I know exactly what I'm doing and it doesn't make me any less smart. [Katherine looks down]
Joan Brandwyn: This must seem terrible to you.
Katherine Watson: I didn't say that.
Joan Brandwyn: Sure you did. You always do. You stand in class and tell us to look beyond the image, but you don't. To you a housewife is someone who sold her soul for a center hall colonial. She has no depth, no intellect, no interests. You're the one who said I could do anything I wanted. This is what I want.
Katherine Watson: [hugs Joan] Congratulations. Be happy.

Thomas: Anyway, listen: what about this tall, thin, black story?
George: Ah... well, we got it wrong, the fella did... actually, she's a nun in disguise.
Thomas: What kind of a nun?
George: A Sister of Mercy. Y'know, those that wear the big white bonnets.
Thomas: Aye, with the big thingummys on it?
George: Yeah.
Thomas: You didn't wear this the whole time, though?
George: Well, she can't, can she, she's on the game, it'd look a bit funny, wouldn't it, and spoil the point of the exercise.
Thomas: How?
George: She wouldn't be in disguise then, would she?
Thomas: [on reflection] Well, that's nuns for ye.
