Mother Teresa: How much does a bottle of water like this cost?
Waiter: $3.00.
Mother Teresa: $3.00? With $3.00 I can send a child to school for a whole year.
Mr. Forster: Mother, the problems facing us today are immense. We must approve these decisions by a majority vote. We must vote.
Mother Teresa: I understand.
Mr. Forster: Mother, it is in the statute.
Mother Teresa: It was in the statute. But as from today, this association no longer exists.
Mr. Forster: Mother, that is unlawful.
Mother Teresa: Close the bank accounts, no more magazines, no more hotels, no more meetings. We are going back to our roots. Back to being with the poor. Poor among the poor.
Mr. Forster: Father, you cannot allow this to happen. You must react. She has just canceled the good work of the last 30 years of your life.
Father Serrano: It's true. That is true. It's taken 30 years for me to understand she's right.
