Matthew Settle: Rufus Humphrey

Quotes 

• Jenny Humphrey : It's not as bad as it looks. A girl in my class was e-mailing me my assignments. And I was keeping up with all of my reading.

  [shakes her head] 

  Jenny Humphrey : I just needed to get through Fashion Week and it would have been fine.

  Rufus Humphrey : Being a liar and a truant... is not what I would call fine.

  Jenny Humphrey : Look, I'm sorry that I cut school and that I lied.

  [Rufus nods] 

  Jenny Humphrey : It's just... I wanted to help Eleanor so badly... and I did. Dad, I'm really good at this.

  Rufus Humphrey : I hope you're as good at groveling. I spent thirty minutes on the phone this morning with headmistress Queller convincing her that you shouldn't get expelled. I did my part, now you're gonna do yours.

  [Jenny raises her brows quizzically] 

  Rufus Humphrey : You have an appointment at her office this afternoon. To prove you're an honorable person worthy of a second chance.

  [Jenny just stares] 

  Rufus Humphrey : Go get dressed.

  Jenny Humphrey : Dad... It's a Saturday.

  Rufus Humphrey : So be glad she's willing to come on her day off.

  [Jenny seethes, then dashes off]
