Quotes 

• Natalie Green : [looking over prospective scholarships Jo could apply for]  The Sven Erickson Foundation. To be awarded to a student of Norweigan ancestry whose father is a member of the plumber's union.

  Jo Polniaczek : I don't think I qualify.

  Edna Garrett : Ah. The Judith Gehart scholarship. To be awarded to any young woman who promises to live chastely and give up sins of the flesh.

  Jo Polniaczek : I don't think I wanna qualify.

• Jo Polniaczek : [after finding out Blair secretly sent in her scholarship application, which she got]  Blair. You just couldn't keep your hands off my life, could you? I told you I didn't want your crummy scholarship!

  Edna Garrett : It's the same crummy scholarship you were thrilled about a minute ago.

  Jo Polniaczek : This is different.

  Edna Garrett : How?

  Blair Warner : Yeah, how?

  Jo Polniaczek : Cause she's gonna hold this over me for the rest of my life.

  Blair Warner : I didn't do anything you couldn't have done yourself. And you don't owe me anything except three dollars and thirty-three cents.

  Blair Warner : [after Jo gives a confused face]  I sent your application registered mail.
