Face it, lady, we're younger and faster.

Girl #2
what are you doing? Are you crazy?
Evelyn Face it, girls. I'm older and I have more insurance.
Evelyn I never get mad, Mrs Threadgoode. Never. The way I was raised, it was bad manners. Well, I got mad and it felt terrific. I felt like I could beat the shit out of all those punks. Excuse my language. Just beat 'em to a pulp. beat 'em till they begged for mercy. Towanda the avenger. And after I wipe out all the punks of this world, I'll take on the wife-beaters, like Frank Bennett, and machine-gun their genitals! Towanda will go on the rampage. I'll put tiny little bombs in Penthouse and Playboy so they'll explode when you open them. And I'll ban all fashion models who weigh less than 130 pounds. And I'll give half the military budget to people of 65 and declare wrinkles sexually desirable. Towanda, righter of wrongs, queen beyond compare!
How many of them hormones are you taking, honey?
Evelyn [tearfully confiding her troubles to Ninny]
I can't even look at my own vagina!
Now,I'm afraid I can't help you with that one.
