Outstanding! Outstanding! You're not going to tell me I have too much experience, are you?...

[after reviewing Brantley's (faked) résumé] Mrs. Meacham: Outstanding! Outstanding! Brantley Foster: You're not going to tell me I have too much experience, are you? Mrs. Meacham: Certainly not - you're perfect for the job. Brantley Foster: Great! Mrs. Meacham: Except... Brantley Foster: No! No exceptions! I want this job, I need it, I can do it. Everywhere I've been today there's always been something wrong, too young, too old, too short, too tall. Whatever the exception is, I can fix it. I can be older, I can be taller, I can be anything. Mrs. Meacham: Can you be a minority woman?

Everywhere I've been today there's been something wrong. Too young, too old, too short, too tall. Whatever the exception is, I can fix it. I can be older. I can be taller. I can be anything. Can you be a minority woman? - Mom, I'm doin' great. - Is it dirty? Are the people rude? No, this town is terrific. The people are really nice. - That's good. What about your job? - Job? Hey! I got a fantastic office, got a gorgeous secretary. The works. We don't care if she's gorgeous. Is she any good? - What? - You heard me. Can she type? Ma, of course she can type. Some can't, you know. Is it safe there? You haven't been robbed? Ma, will you quit worryin'? There is no danger. - But New York is... - New York is like Kansas intensified.
