Helen Chappel-Hackett quotes from Wings

Helen

[to Joe] Don't pucker up like Dudley-Do-Right, just relax your lips.

Helen

A date?

Brian

That's right, you've seen 'em on TV. Now have one of your very own.

Helen

There goes Brian again!

Joe

You know, the way my mother always yelled, until I was eight I thought his name was Brianstopit!

Helen

Roy's son R.J. said he wanted to learn the cello. Fat chance in Roy approving that!

Roy

Helen, R.J. told me he wanted to take cello lessons.

Helen

Well, yes Roy. Before you object..

Roy

Come to think of it, I thought over his request and realized he has been too top-heavy on sports. For the college admission boards, athletes are a dime a dozen. Another extracurricular activity like music would look good for college applications.

Helen

Great, I must be honest, I am surprised you would approve Roy.

Roy

Nothing is too good for my boy. Besides, it would behoove him to take in some culture.

Brian

Now you can share your gift with R.J.

Helen

Forget that! The Celtics lost again and I need the teaching fee to pay off my bookie!

Helen

OK R.J. let us practice note by note. Before we begin let me say you are older than most of my students so the books I have are geared for younger kids. Please do not think it is an insult to your intelligence.

No problem.

Helen

OK, this mama hen represents the whole note and these baby hens are symbolic of the eighth notes.

Look, a rabbit!

Helen

OK, I think you got the hang of it.

Helen

Woe, dood u et da qillow?

Joe

Pardon?

Helen

Illow!

Helen

Dank oo.

Joe

Sorry, it is just a little hard to understand with your mouth stuffed with cotton. Could you just say for me "You have dishonored the Corleone family"?

Helen

Ruck woo!

Joe

No need to repeat, I got that one!

Joe

Helen must have been sleepwalking! She could not have gotten far, she was there when I checked just before third period. Boston College, you guys look on the street; Providence College fans comb the beach!

Helen

Joe, I appreciate you taking care of me and willing to sacrifice watching the game with the guys.

Joe

Hey, that is what being in a relationship is all about.

Helen

I just had the weirdest dream that I was walking near the lighthouse and some guys led me home.

Joe

Well, you know the doctor used some heavy anesthesia!

Helen

You care more about this stupid plane than you do about me!

Joe

Me? You are the one with the cello between her legs eight hours a day!

Helen

Well, at least that gives me some satisfaction!

Joe

Yeah, well, at least when I am in the plane I get some sense of movement!

Helen

Antonio, I did not know you played guitar.

Barely; I started a few months ago. I only know one song.

Helen

Then play that.

It is a folk song I used to hear back in my native Italy. For a long time it was the only English I knew.

Helen

It is Michael, Row the Boat Ashore.

No kidding!

Helen

I had my first kiss on Kingsbury Point.

Joe

I lost my virginity on Kingsbury Point.

Brian

I lost my virginity on Kingsbury's couch. His niece was my prom date - a great prom date!
