If you follow your star ...
Miss Tick: I will give you some free advice.
Tiffany: Will it cost me anything?
Miss Tick: What? I just said it was free!
Tiffany: Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive.
Miss Tick: You could say this advice is priceless. Are you listening?
Tiffany: Yes.
Miss Tick: Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...
Tiffany: Yes?
Miss Tick: ...and believe in your dreams...
Tiffany: Yes?
Miss Tick: ...and follow your star...
Tiffany: Yes?
Miss Tick: ...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy.
