Quotes
-
Miss Greene : You get off the rug, Virginia Cunningham! Come on! Come on! Get off of there! I've told you a dozen times we do not walk on our rug.
Virginia Stuart Cunningham : Why not?
Miss Greene : Because we don't! Understand? We're the only ward that has a rug. It's new, I mean it's clean, and we mean to keep it that way.
Virginia Stuart Cunningham : Why don't you hang it on the wall?
Miss Greene : Your wisecracks might have been appreciated in other wards, but in 12 they don't go over.
Virginia Stuart Cunningham : Is this 12?
Miss Greene : And what did you think it was? One?
Virginia Stuart Cunningham : How long have I been here?
Miss Greene : Too long.
