Life Lessons: Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)

Dawn Wiener: Dignity. Dignity is an important quality everyone should have. That way you will never grade grub. Grade grubbing is bad because it means you're asking for a grade you shouldn't get. Because if you got it, it wouldn't be fair to everyone who didn't grade grub. It doesn't matter whether you're a boy or girl, man or a child, rich or poor, fat or thin... You should never be a grade grubber. Therefore dignity is a quality everyone should have. Thank you.
