Quotes 

• Carl Winslow : You left the car by the side of the road?

  Harriette Winslow : No, it left *me* by the side of the road.

  Carl Winslow : Come on, Edward, let's go get the car.

  [heads to the door] 

  Carl Winslow : Don't worry, Harriette, things aren't that bad.

  Harriette Winslow : Did I mention the car was on fire?

  [Carl runs out] 

• Harriette Winslow : Mr. Seeger, I really believe I can do that security job.

  Mr. Seeger : Harriette, I'm trying to be nice, but the fact is this job requires management experience, you'd have people working under you. You'd have to be a leader, an organizer, a mediator, and quite frankly this job is way out of your league.

  Harriette Winslow : Oh really, Mr. Seeger? For your information I have management experience coming out of my ears.

  Mr. Seeger : It's not on your resume.

  Harriette Winslow : Oh yes it is, right there, it says *Mrs.* Harriette Winslow. I worked here full time and I was a full time mama. You want to talk management? I managed a home, a household budget, and a family. And Mr. Seeger, I'm talking about a job you can't call in sick for, you never get a raise or overtime, and you can't take vacations. Every day I'm a leader, an organizer, and a mediator, those are my qualifications. You want references? Call Eddie, Laura, and Judy Winslow, and ask them about my work. You know the number.
