Dean Drummond Quotes in The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)

Dean Drummond: Baby, high school's over.

Prudie Drummond: High school's never over.

Prudie Drummond: [showing Dean a copy of Persuasion] Will you do me a favor? Will you read this?

Dean Drummond: Isn't that what you're special little book club's for?

Prudie Drummond: I really want you to read it. Please Dean.

Dean Drummond: Prudie, I feel like you want me to be something I'm not. I just walk around being me. I don't pretend to be anything else. You just set me up for a test, you don't want me to pass.

Prudie Drummond: No, no. This isn't a test. This is something to share.

Dean Drummond: Why don't you just tell me what it's about?

Prudie Drummond: It's about these two people who used to love each other. And they don't any more. And it's about how they persuade themselves to give it another try... Look I can get you started off. Okay?

Dean Drummond: Prudie... Come on, you're not really going to read this all aloud... Alright, one page...
