When you hit the "Quote" button, it puts the person's original post in the box where you type your post, so you can just delete the sentences/paragraphs/whatever that you don't want.

Just make sure you only delete words from the post, and don't delete the stuff that's surrounded by brackets ( "[" and "]" ), because that's the code that the forums put in so that the quoted part comes out highlighted and boxed in.
