 * Jenny Hager: I don't want the youngest. I want the richest.


 * Jenny Hager: But... the rain. You know what happens to the roads in the rain.
 * John Evered: Yes, they get very muddy, but they don't change the direction.


 * Jenny Hager: Your mother must be a wonderful woman. I hope that someday you'll say that I'm just like her.
