Lacey Fleming – Character Quotes

— "How would you describe my mother?" Um, I think it's safe to say that your mother is determined to be the best at what she does. She's very committed to the job.
— So what you're saying is, even when my mom's not in charge, she's still in charge.

— Have you read these questions? How am I supposed to learn anything about what my mom does with these lame questions?
— Lame? How about number four? "Name your three biggest influences in medicine and why." You know, I remember, uh, the first time I saw Rembrandt's "The Anatomy of Dr. Tulp." I thought it was lame, like these questions. Lame.
