Is this what you're seeking? 

"To serve people takes dignity and intelligence, but remember they are
only people with money, and although we serve them we are not their
servants, what we do does not define who we are, what defines us is
how well we rise after falling."

I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know whether or not this is the
entire speech. Please let me know.

Yea that looks good... but unfortunately im not sure if the speech is
longer, i thought it was because the speech goes on for a while.. but
this is good thank you

I'm leaving this unanswered in the hope that another Researcher will
be able to find a longer version of the speech.

i found the entire speech.. it was not that much longer.. thanks a
lot.. That one bit really helped fine the little bit extra

"Sometimes we are forced in directions that we ought to have found for
ourselves. To serve people takes dignity and intelligence, but
remember, they are only people with money. And although we serve them,
we are not their servants. What we do, Miss Ventura, does not define
who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling."
