Stand and Deliver (1988)

Rosanna DeSoto: Fabiola Escalante

Quotes 

• Jaime Escalante : [after confronting the ETS investigators]  You know what kills me... it's that they lost the confidence in the system they're now finally qualified to be a part of. I don't know why I'm losing sleep over this. I don't need it. I could be making more money, with less hours, and have people treat me with respect.

  Fabiola Escalante : Respect? Jaime, those kids love you.

• Mr. Delgado : Your husband comes into my restaurant, eats... and he insults me!

  Fabiola Escalante : Excuse my husband, Mr. Delgado. He just wants what's best for Ana.

  Jaime Escalante : She can go to college, come back, teach you how to run the place.

  [he leaves money on the table] 

  Mr. Delgado : Professor...

  [shoves the money back] 

  Mr. Delgado : I don't want your money. And I don't need your business.

  Jaime Escalante : Skip it. Tip.
