Cathy (1987 TV Movie)

Gregg Berger: Mr. Pinkley

Quotes 

• Charlene : Only a week left until the awards banquet, Cathy. Are you going to make it?

  Cathy Andrews : I think so; I just have to write up the findings of sixteen more studies.

  Charlene : No problem, you've done that before.

  Cathy Andrews : [confidently]  Convince four clients to spend another thirty-five thousand dollars.

  Charlene : [high-fiving Cathy]  You've done that before - and find a date!

  Cathy Andrews : [losing her cool]  Aaack - not that!

  Charlene : [handing Cathy a newspaper filled with personal ads]  Here, your worries are over.

  Cathy Andrews : Ohh, no, not a personal ad.

  Charlene : Personal ads are a totally viable way for busy, intellectual, career oriented singles to meet. Besides, we don't have time to sign up for another Oriental massage class.

  Cathy Andrews : Forget it, Charlene, I have dragged myself to idiotic parties and mixers. I have begged for dates, grovelled for dates, plotted and schemed for dates, but I am *not* going to answer a personal ad to get a date!

  Charlene : [as Mr. Pinkley appears at the doorway]  Why not?

  Cathy Andrews : [as Mr. Pinkley smiles]  It would sound like I'm desperate.

  Mr. Pinkley : Hey, don't worry about it, Cathy. If you don't want to go to the banquet alone, Esther and I will be happy to be your escorts.
