Zinnia Wormwood:
Look, Miss Snit, a girl does not get anywhere by acting intelligent! I mean, take a look at you and me. You chose books - I chose looks. I have a nice house, a wonderful husband... and you are slaving away teaching snot-nosed children their ABCs. You want Matilda to go to college? Ha, ha, ha ha...
Harry Wormwood:
College? I didn't go to college. I don't know anybody who did. Bunch of hippies and cesspool salesmen, ha ha ha ha...
Miss Jennifer 'Jenny' Honey:
Don't sneer at educated people, Mr. Wormwood. If you became ill, heaven forbid, your doctor would be a college graduate.
Harry Wormwood:
Yeah...
Miss Jennifer 'Jenny' Honey:
Or - or say you were sued for selling a faulty car. The lawyer who defended you would have gone to college too.
Harry Wormwood:
What car? Sued by who? Who you been talking to?
