Natalie Green
- Natalie Green: [doing 'sensitive interview'] How does it feel to be rejected by the college of your choice?
- [the girl cries]
- Natalie Green: I'm sorry, don't feel bad. I hear the University of Anchorage is a real fun school.
- [the girl runs away bawling]
- Edna Garrett: Natalie!
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: How's everything going, Nat?
- Natalie Green: Not too bad. Most of the envelopes have been fat.
- Alexandra 'Alex' Lambarti: Fat?
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Oh. See, Alex, if the envelope's fat, it's an acceptance. Loaded with registration forms and dorm cards.
- Natalie Green: A skinny envelope means rejection. It is the one time when thin is not in.
- Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [to Alex] But of course, you're a princess. I mean, how could you relate to rejection?
- Alexandra 'Alex' Lambarti: It's easy. Daddy got a thin letter once. It said: "Dear Prince Frederico, we don't want you to rule us anymore. Signed, Italy."
- Natalie Green: A whole country dumped you? That's rejection.
- 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:]
- Natalie Green: Jo, just between you and me, why did you turn down that scholarship to Langley?
- 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?
