Quotes

Bernadette : All Jane Austen, all the time. It's the perfect antidote.
Prudie Drummond : To what?
Bernadette : To life.
-
Dean Drummond : Baby, high school's over.
Prudie Drummond : High school's never over.
-
Prudie Drummond : I'm in love with one of my students. I mean, nothing's happened, much. It could if I let it... I fantasize about him constantly.
Bernadette : Sweetie, your mother died. This is grief.
Prudie Drummond : He looks at me like he's the spoon, and I'm this dish of ice cream.

Prudie Drummond : [showing Dean a copy of Persuasion] Will you do me a favor? Will you read this?
Dean Drummond : Isn't that what you're special little book club's for?
Prudie Drummond : I really want you to read it. Please Dean.
Dean Drummond : Prudie, I feel like you want me to be something I'm not. I just walk around being me. I don't pretend to be anything else. You just set me up for a test, you don't want me to pass.
Prudie Drummond : No, no. This isn't a test. This is something to share.
Dean Drummond : Why don't you just tell me what it's about?
Prudie Drummond : It's about these two people who used to love each other. And they don't any more. And it's about how they persuade themselves to give it another try... Look I can get you started off. Okay?
