Tonya Pinkins: Sandra

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Sandra : [teaching her class]  That's what we're told, isn't it? That these great, big megalosauruses, The Godzillas of the world, the monsters we read books about, see films about - they are the fiercest, they are the strongest, right? Right?

  Class : [in unison]  Right.

  Sandra : Wrong. It's the predators who are actually the most vulnerable. They're the most sensitive to change. Take away their food, make any kind of reduction, no matter how infinitesimal - well, that's it. They're wiped out forever. It happened to the trilobites, to the tetrapods, and then to the therapsids and the archosaurs and the dinosaurs, and guess what. More likely than not, it could happen to us, too.

• Rowan Pope : [reminiscing]  You played me this song.

  Sandra : I did.

  Rowan Pope : You poured me this drink.

  Sandra : I did. It didn't work.

  Rowan Pope : I don't have a lot of regret in my life. I regret that.

  Sandra : It was 40 years ago.

  Rowan Pope : That's not a lot of time in the scope of things.
