    • Quotes
      • Phyllis Matthews: [opening narration] There it is - the big city! You just name it and New York's supposed to have it. That's why thousands of people keep pouring in, all looking for something; a career, success, for love, or for something they can't even define, like me. I'm Phyllis Matthews from Nebraska. I finally arrived on a bus - this bus - I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for either but I knew I'd find it only in New York.
