Dialogue

Helen: And put this down your pants.

Gerald: Helen, size doesn't matter. You explained that to me on our fourth date.

Helen: I know that and you know that, but lesbians don't know that.

Helen: Nothing ever gets solved with violence.

Ray: Haven't you ever seen a Charles Bronson movie?; [hoots] That man could use violence to solve Pi.

Gerald: So, President Jensen, we just simply need more money. If you want to have a proportionally diverse staff, we need three more minority hires.

President Kent Jensen: Hmmm, or we could just fire three white guys. Everybody wins.

Helen: I've got no problem with abstinence. It's these abstinence people. They're not like us. They wear flag pins, Gerald, and you know as well as I do what that means.

Gerald: Now, come on, Helen, since the election, we can all wear flag pins.

Helen: Really? You're gonna wear a flag pin?

Gerald: Er, no. My point is, maybe we shouldn't be so judgmental. Don't we always try to celebrate people's differences, and learn from them?

Helen: Sure, if they're like Native Americans or backwards rainforest tribes, but not these people.
