Marian Seldes: President Jocelyn Carr

Quotes 

• Katherine Watson : These girls! Are you proud, President Carr?

  President Jocelyn Carr : Yes, actually, I am.

  Katherine Watson : Well, you should be, I guess. Half of them are already married, and the other half, oh just give it a month or so! I mean, it's really only a matter of time! That's what they're doing here, right, they're just biding their time until somebody proposes!

  President Jocelyn Carr : A hundred years ago, it was inconceivable for a woman to *be* a college graduate! I think, perhaps, you should look back to see how far we've come!

  Katherine Watson : Well, I'm sorry, from where I sit it's just a different kind of corset.

  President Jocelyn Carr : Well, we can all use a little support.

  Katherine Watson : Oh, like the kind you gave Amanda Armstrong?

  President Jocelyn Carr : She broke the law!

  Katherine Watson : According to Betty Warren!

• President Jocelyn Carr : Just a few rules. No holes in the walls. No pets. No loud noises. To radio or Hi-Fi after eight on weekdays, ten on weekends. No hotplates. And no male visitors.

  Katherine Watson : [disappointed] 

  President Jocelyn Carr : Anything wrong?

  Katherine Watson : I don't think I can go a year without a hotplate.

• President Jocelyn Carr : We cannot appear to promote sexual promiscuity.
