Sister James : You just don't like him! You don't like it that he uses a ballpoint pen. You don't like it that he takes 3 lumps of sugar in his tea. You don't like it that he likes Frosty the Snowman and you are letting that convince you? Of something that's terrible... Just terrible...
Sister James : [Exasperated] Well, I like Frosty the Snowman!

Sister Aloysius Beauvier : It should be banned from the airwaves.
