Quotes2

  • Edna Garrett: Isn't nature grand? Every spring, like clockwork, Blair sheds her old wardrobe.
  • Jo Polniaczek: I thought only snakes did that.
  • Natalie Green: It's a great school. A person would have to be nuts to turn down a chance to go there.
  • Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Especially if she were offered a scholarship.
  • Jo Polniaczek: I knew it. Mrs. G squealed.
  • Natalie Green: [picks up mike] Nobody has to squeal when Natalie Green is on the scene. I found your ripped-up envelope and put two and two together. I call it superior investigative reporting.
  • Alexandra 'Alex' Lambarti: I call it looking through garbage.
  • Natalie Green: One must do what one must do.
  • [with mike towards Jo:]

  • Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Yeah, nobody's ever done that.
  • Natalie Green: This is a bigger story than Man Bites Dog.
  • Jo Polniaczek: Is it bigger than Reporter Swallows Microphone?
