Scenes with Karen Pomeroy
1 scene Karen Pomeroy [Discussing Watership Down]
This could be the death of an entire way of life, the end of an era...
Why should we care?
Karen Pomeroy Because the rabbits are us, Donnie.
Why should I mourn for a rabbit like he was human?
Karen Pomeroy Are you saying that the death of one species is less tragic than another?
Of course. The rabbit's not like us. It has no... keen look at something in the mirror, it has no history books, no photographs, no knowledge of sorrow or regret... I mean, I'm sorry, Miss Pomeroy, don't get me wrong; y'know, I like rabbits and all. They're cute and they're horny. And if you're cute and you're horny, then you're probably happy, in that you don't know who you are and why you're even alive. And you just wanna' have sex, as many times as possible, before you die... I mean, I just don't see the point in crying over a dead rabbit! Y'know, who... who never even feared death to begin with.
