Jane: Student teaching is the hardest job there is. Secondary school kids didn't want to be there. I skipped out one afternoon and went to the mall, and there were some of my students there. But they couldn't report me, could they? (edit)

Jane: Look, you can get yourself cut and stitched, or you can get a good girdle. The day before my first Emmy show, I went to Sears and bought a really good girdle. And I've worn that thing to every single awards show since! (edit)

Jane: If a stove like this was good enough for 50's moms, who made three meals a day, then it's good enough for me! (edit)
