- Vasanthi: I forfeited my dreams, for you to realize your dreams!
- Mithila Tamizhselvan: Oh! What a tremendous sacrifice! You stand apart from all mothers? Those who want to achieve will do so come what may. You were laid back then, and now blaming it on me coolly.
- Vasanthi: I'm not blaming you. To follow all your dreams, I've given you enough freedom.
- Vasanthi: [continues] But my mom didn't raise me that way! Girls were brought up protectively with lots of do's and don'ts. It was a different time altogether. If I had argued to my mom like you, a whole broomstick would have landed on me!
- Susan David: There are 5 do's a girl can do. And 50 don'ts she should not do. We can do the 5 which everyone likes. But can't do the 50 we dream about! That's how simple a life of a woman is.
- Susan David: [continues] Since we are the answers for everything, they thrive being the questions. If we become the question, nobody will have an answer!
