Music of the Heart (1999)

Angela Bassett: Janet

Quotes 

• Roberta Guaspari : [after finding out her violin program has just been cut]  There's got to be some way we can fight this!

  Janet Williams : Fight it for what? I don't have any extra programs I can give them instead.

  Roberta Guaspari : Ohhh, I see! After 10 years, after 1400 kids have learned the violin, "this is just an extra program!"

  Janet Williams : You know I don't feel that way! And you know *damn* well I've been standing by you all these years! You think I haven't noticed what you've done for these kids?

  Roberta Guaspari : Well, then *do* something!

  Janet Williams : I have been on that phone for the past three days trying to do something! They're sick of hearing my voice! Believe me, there are other people around here I would *much* rather get rid of! But as far as the board is concerned, violin classes are not a priority! I don't have the power here, Roberta.
