This is from Newsradio, when Lisa wins an award for "New York's Cutest Reporter"
I've been meaning to hunt down this quote for a friend, who insisted that she could get away with things because she was cute.
I have maintained from the get-go that she was not cute, but pretty.

Lisa: All right, look, I did not ask for the stupid award.
Beth: If I were you I'd be upset too. I mean you? Cute? Come on.
Lisa: I am not entirely uncute. I... I... Why are you being nasty about this? Beth: I'm not being nasty. You're pretty. You're very pretty in fact. But cute, I don't think so.
Lisa: Well, I wasn't aware there was a difference.
Beth: Well of course there is a difference. Pretty means pretty. Cute means pretty but short and/or hyperactive--like me!
Lisa: Uh huh. What is beautiful?
Beth: Beautiful means pretty and tall.
Lisa: Gorgeous?
Beth: Pretty with great hair.
Lisa: Striking?
Beth: Pretty with a big nose.
Lisa: OK, you're making this up.
Beth: That's ridiculous, why would I make it up?
Lisa: Voluptuous?
Beth: Pretty and fat.
Lisa: Sexy?
Beth: Pretty and easy.
Lisa: Exotic?
Beth: Ugly.

A few seconds later in the episode, Catherine walks by and asks which one she is. "Sexy," answers Beth. Catherine smiles, "Thank you," and walks away satisfied. Very funny show. Watch it if you can...
