Roma Schleine Quotes in Uptown Girls (2003)

Molly Gunn: I'm so sorry, Mrs Schleine.

Roma Schleine: Thank you for coming, Miss Gunn.

Molly Gunn: Are you kidding? Nothing could keep me away at a time like this.

Roma Schleine: [she places a check in front of Molly] Last week's pay and a month's severance.

Molly Gunn: Severance?

Roma Schleine: We're letting you go.

Molly Gunn: We?

Roma Schleine: That's right. Me and Ray. We. Goodnight, Miss Gunn.

Molly Gunn: I'm sorry, but I'm not leaving without an explanation.

Roma Schleine: I don't know what's been going on between you and my daughter, but she has made it clear that she never wants to see you again.

Molly Gunn: She must be going out of her mind with grief.

Roma Schleine: Actually, she's taking it rather well. I was at my staff meeting when I got the news about my husband. I came home to find Ray doing her homework. She's been very calm and level-headed about this whole affair.

Molly Gunn: You call that taking it well? Do you know what etage your daughter's at in ballet? Or that she was banned from her science class for stealing a formaldehyde pig so she could give it a proper burial? The tea set you got her... it's exquisite and beautiful, but do you know how she likes to have her tea, how many lumps... one,two... cream,sugar?

Roma Schleine: And the point of your little tirade is...

Molly Gunn: You're right. You don't know what goes on between me and Ray because you don't know very much about your own daughter.

Roma Schleine: I know my daughter well enough to respect her wishes.

Molly Gunn: You don't give her respect. You give her whatever she asks for so you don't have to deal wit her. She's eight years old. She is not twenty-eight. Please remember that the next time you show her some respect.

[storms out]

Ray: She always does this to me, she's not coming. Ow!

Roma Schleine: Well, if you would stop wiggling your ass, it wouldn't have fallen off in the first place.
