Ms. Li and Helen in “Unfinished Business”

I'm glad to see you take such an interest in your daughters, Mrs. Morgendorffer.

Helen

Well, it isn't easy raising two teenagers all by yourself... with Jake.

Of course, I like to think the school environment also plays a pivotal role.

Helen

Absolutely. Although it would be nice if the students got a little more encouragement. Maybe a bright kid like Daria would have a better attitude. [Ms. Li laughs] Did I say something funny?

With all due respect, I can't think of a prison that could create an attitude like your daughter's, much less a school. No, I always assumed that came from interaction with her parents, or lack of it.

Helen

Oh, so you draw a distinction between prison and school? Because from what I've heard, you run the one pretty much like the other.

Helen

No, you don't!
