Lisa Houseman Where is my brige iridescent lipstick? I know I put it in this drawer.
Baby, where are you going in this weather?

Lisa Houseman I decided to go all the way with Robbie.
No, Lisa, not with someone like him.
Lisa Houseman Do you think if we came back for a ten-year anniversary, it would be free?
It's just wrong this way. It should be with someone... someone that you sort of love.
Lisa Houseman Come on. You don't care about me. You wouldn't care if I humped the entire army... as long as we were on the right side Ho Chi Minh trail. What you care about is that you're not Daddy's girl anymore. He listens when I talk now, and you hate that.

Well then, why did you let him talk to you that way?
What do you mean, fight the boss man?
You tell him your ideas. He's a person like everyone else.
Look, I know these people, Baby. Thye are rich and they're mean. They won't listen to me.

Look, I know these people, Baby. They're all rich and they're mean. They won't listen to me.

Lisa Houseman I've been thinking a lot about the Domino Theory. Now, when Vietnam falls, is China next?
Fight harder, huh? I don't see you fighting so hard, Baby. I don't see you running up to daddy telling him I'm your guy.
