Tyra: Can you guys stand in front of me? I just wanna say one more thing to you. Rebecca, I admire your emotion right now. It shows to me that this was something that's very important to you. Tiffany, I'm extremely disappointed in you. This is a joke to you. You've been through anger management, you've been through your grandmother having her lights turned off to buy you a swimsuit for this competition, and you go over there and you joke and you laugh? This is serious to these girls. And this should be serious to you.
Tiffany: Looks can be deceiving. I'm hurt. I am. But I can't change it, Tyra.
Tyra: You can't change what?
Tiffany: I'm sick of crying about stuff that I cannot change. I'm sick of being disappointed, I'm sick of all of it. I'm not---
Tyra: You ain't sick of being disappointed.
Tiffany: Obviously I am---
Tyra: No you're not. If you were sick of being disappointed, you would stand up and you would take control of your destiny. Do you know that you had a possibility to win? Do you know that all of America is rooting for you? Do you know that?
Tiffany: *Nods*
Tyra: Then you come in here and you treat this like a joke? You come in here and look at that and say "I can't read that"? You read 10 times better than half of those girls over there! And you come in here with a defeatist attitude?
Tiffany: I don't have a bad attitude. Maybe I am angry inside. I've been through stuff, so I'm angry. *Continues to ramble on, murmuring incoherently*
Tyra: Yes, but...this is not...be quiet!
Tiffany: Okay, but...*incoherent ramblings*...I'm trying, but---
Tyra: Be quiet! What is wrong with you?
Tiffany: I'm trying, but---
Tyra: Stop it! I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this! When my mother yells like this, it's because she loves me! I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! How dare you? Learn something from this! When you go to bed at night, you lay there and you take responsibility for yourself, because no one is gonna take responsibility for you. You rolling your eyes and acting like this because you've heard it all before. You've heard it all before. You don't know where the hell I come from! You have no idea what I've been through! But I'm not a victim; I grow from it and I learn. Take responsibility for yourself.
