Quotes:
George:
How many numbers you got?
Erin Brockovich: Oh, I got numbers comin' outta my ears. For instance: ten.
George: Ten?
Erin Brockovich: Yeah. That's how many months old my baby girl is.
George: You got a little girl?
Erin Brockovich: Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh? How 'bout this for a number? Six. That's how old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, two is how many times I've been married - and divorced; sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account. 850-3943. That's my phone number, and with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

I felt like Julia Roberts deserved the Oscar she received for this film, as she played a single mom who almost single-handedly exposes a plant contaminating a town's water supply to its knees. The fight she put up was truly inspiring. The best part was that it was based on a true story! I love most Julia Roberts roles, and this one was no exception.
