Ted Boynton Barcelona is beautiful but in human terms, pretty cold.
Tom Platt The environmental movement of our times was sparked by the rerelease of Bambi in the 1950s.
Do you really think we know each other well enough to move in together?
Well, maybe that's good.
Its not just that we don't know each other well. I'm not even sure we really like each other.
That's okay. You know, Alice, I'm not so much of a bitch as I seem.
I hear you have a much better chance of getting in if you come by cab.
You're really worried about getting in?
Yes.
I thought you've been here several times before.
Not the front way. They were private parties. We came in through the back.
We look real good tonight. I'm sure we're gonna get in.
[Alice and Charlotte round the corner and see a large crowd waiting outside the Disco Club] [beat]
Let's get a cab.
Yeah.
I think it's much better to wait until things happen naturally. Forcing things never works.
That's not true. Forcing things usually works beautifully.
If when making love, the man... spurts... outside the woman, does that count as sexual intercourse?
Tom Platt "Spurts"?
If it... squirts outside, without getting in... does that count as losing your virginity?
Tom Platt No part of the man got in at any time?
I don't think so.
Tom Platt I think part has to get in to be considered sexual intercourse.
So then I was a virgin.
That's odd he knew I drank vodka tonics. I never told him.
It's uncanny.
You mean it's a complete cliché? All women recent college graduates drink vodka tonics, or something like that?
Well, maybe.
I ordered a Vodka tonic too. So what? You're plenty original without having to order something weird to drink.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. Can I get you another?
Thanks. Actually, if you don't mind, I think I'd prefer - um - a whiskey sour.
I'm sorry, its just that you're so terrific, it makes me sick to think you might get in that terrible situation again where everyone hated you.
Hated me?
You're wonderful. Maybe in physical terms I'm a little cuter than you, but you should be much more popular than I am. It would be such a shame if what happened in college should repeat itself.
Dan Powers You know, Alice, except for politics, we've got a lot in common: We're both pretty serious, and, I think, respect each other's bases for judgment. Occasionally I get reactionary thoughts, too.
I'm not reactionary.
Dan Powers Well, aesthetically.
Oh, well - aesthetically.
'Yuppie scum'? In college, before dropping out, I took a course in the propaganda uses of language; one objective is to deny other people's humanity, or even right to exist.
In the men's lounge someone scrawled 'kill yuppie scum'.
Do yuppies even exist? No one says, "I am a yuppie", it's always the other guy who's a yuppie. I think for a group to exist, somebody has to admit to be part of it.
Dan Powers Of course yuppies exist. Most people would say you two are prime specimens.
Its women like you whose attitudes towards men are so dehumanizing.
Like what?
That men are swine, obsessed with large breasts and the sex act, devoid of any idealistic romantic sensibility. When, in fact, we have that idealistic sensibility, in spades. For instance, you have no idea what men really think about women's breasts.
What do men think about women's breasts?
Well, its not just something you blurt out. Its far more complicated and nuanced.
One of the things that makes me happy in life is knowing I don't envy anyone. I don't want to be anyone else or do anything that I want to do... which of course right now is nothing now that I'm unemployed, but I have good projects for the future. Can I speak honestly?
Yeah.
You and I are similar. We both got big personalities. That's good. What the world really needs is more big personalities. Perhaps ours burn too brightly, or are too big for people with normal healthy sized personalities like Alice. Or people with abnormal sized personalities like Josh. Or the itsy bitsy teeny wienie little polka dot bikini sized personalities like Jimmy Steinway.
That's why I'm confident that I will ultimately be successful in television.
Absolutely. You see, one of the problems of finding the right person and settling down is that it takes all the fun and interest out of going to nightclubs. I mean if you are already living with somebody, why bother going out? Getting seriously involved with someone really just means ruining your nightlife. What I mean to say is... Jimmy, Alice, Josh... so what? That's what I say.
I think I agree with you.
There's something deeply ingrained in human biology: women prefer bad over weak and indecisive... and unemployed
I don't know about that.
You think they do prefer weak, indecisive, and unemployed?
A lot of people like to say they won't take no for an answer. I just wanted you to know that I'm not one of them; I can be easily discouraged. I will take no for an answer.
Okay. No.
You don't mean that?
No. [Smiles]
