Patti D'Arbanville: Becky's Mom

Quotes 

• Becky's Mom : Did you get any severance?

  Becky Fuller : Uh... there were some budgetary cuts last year, so they weren't really offering. But I have feelers out. Lots.

  Becky's Mom : Yeah, great. Honey, you think "The Today Show" is gonna call you up and hand you a job, and you have since you were eight, and it's not gonna happen.

  Becky Fuller : I don't... I know that, I do. I get it.

  Becky's Mom : This is partly my fault. I... I let your father get your hopes up. He was not a happy person, let's face it. When he saw you aim high, he started to feel better about himself, so I never said anything.

  Becky Fuller : What are you saying?

  Becky's Mom : You had a dream, you know? Great. When you were eight, it was adorable. When you were 18, it was inspiring. At 28, it's officially embarrassing. And I just want you to stop before we get to "heartbreaking".
