Quotes 

• Phil Hallenbeck : So what can I do for you, Carl?

  Carl Winslow : Well, Phil, Laura got accepted into Harvard.

  Phil Hallenbeck : Laura? That little girl who'd sit on my desk while I made out a pretend check for a million dollars?

  Carl Winslow : Yeah, now I need a real one.

  Phil Hallenbeck : How much do you need?

  Carl Winslow : Well we need $20,000 a year for the next four years.

  Phil Hallenbeck : Well you've always been a good credit risk, let's take a look.

  [checks computer] 

  Phil Hallenbeck : You already took out one loan two years ago.

  Carl Winslow : Oh yeah, that was for Eddie's tuition.

  Phil Hallenbeck : And you have a mortgage.

  Carl Winslow : That pesky thing.

  Phil Hallenbeck : You've got a good credit score, some savings... but not enough collateral.

  Carl Winslow : What if I throw in Harriette?

  Phil Hallenbeck : I'm sorry, Carl. I could probably get you a couple thousand.

  Carl Winslow : [stunned]  Well, Phil, that... that's not nearly enough.

  Phil Hallenbeck : What about financial aid?

  Carl Winslow : Well we looked into that... and the ironic part is, we make too much for Laura to qualify for financial aid.

  Phil Hallenbeck : And you don't make enough for a loan. I'm sorry, Carl, I wish there was something I could do.

  Carl Winslow : [in disbelief]  Laura's wanted to go to Harvard all her life, and now that she's been accepted, I have to tell her she can't go.
