Connie Baker:
Now that's just an advertisement.
Katherine Watson:
Quiet! Today you just listen. What will the future scholars see when they study us? A portrait of woman today? There you are ladies. The perfect likeness of a Wellesley graduate, Magna Cum Laude doing exactly what she was trained to do. Slide. A Rhodes scholar. I wonder is she reciting Chaucer while she presses her husband's shirts. Slide. Heh, now you physics major's can calculate the mass and volume of every meat loaf you ever make. Slide. A girdle to set you free! What does that mean?... What does that mean?... What does it mean? I give up. You win. The smartest women in the country... I didn't realize that by demanding excellence I would be challenging... what did it say?
Katherine Watson:
what did it say? um... the roles you were born to fill
Katherine Watson:
is that right? the roles you were born to fill?... It's, uh, it's my mistake.
Katherine Watson:
Class dismissed.

Cathy Feely: [to Tad]
