~~~ ELLIOT [whines to herself] Why can't I just grow up? Why can't I be stronger? Janitor? Have you ever looked at yourself and wished that you were different in every single way?
JANITOR No.... I'm a winner. But, I will tell you something that my grandmother told me when I was a kid -- even though at the time I thought she was my mother. She said, "Time spent wishing is time wasted." Now, she died shortly after that, and my sister -- who actually WAS my mother -- she never got over it. Neither did my brother/Dad. But the point is this: If you want to be different, then be different! ~~~
Incidentally, Martha Stewart's catch phrase for her own version of Apprentice is "You just don't fit in." How AWFUL is that?
