Barbara Harris: Joanie Caucus

Quotes 

  • Joanie Caucus : I think I know something of the necessity of change. My life hasn't exactly been devoid of rage either.

    Mike Doonesbury : You mean your old man back in Denver?

    Joanie Caucus : Uh-huh, but I stopped fighting it.

    [remembering] 

    Joanie Caucus : My last batch of perfect french fries was delivered to the dinner table July 21st, 1972.

    Mike Doonesbury : [smiles]  You still make the best.

    Joanie Caucus : Yes, but not in Denver.

  • Mark Slackmeyer : [everybody's making fun of Mike's cooking]  Joanie...

    Joanie Caucus : Yes?

    Mark Slackmeyer : This is really your responsibility.

    Joanie Caucus : I know and I'm sorry... I left the room for a second and then everything fell apart.

  • Joanie Caucus : [talking about her work at the day care]  Mike, it's a whole new generation of hearts and minds out there, and that challenge goes a long way in justifying the earlier pain. I mean...

    [the scene shifts from the kitchen to the day care]
