He should just be castrated. Just snip, quick and easily.
Sarah Pierce
You know what else you should do? Nail his penis above the entrance of the elementary school. That'd really teach him a lesson.
Brad Adamson
You have a nice place.
Sarah Pierce
You think? Richard, does pretty well for himself.
Brad Adamson
Oh, yeah? What's he do?
Sarah Pierce
He lies.
Brad Adamson
Do you feel bad?
Sarah Pierce
No, I don't.
Brad Adamson
I do. I feel really bad.
Sarah Pierce
I think I understand your feelings about this book. I used to have some problems with it, myself. When I read it in grad school, Madam Bovary just seemed like a fool. She marries the wrong man; makes one foolish mistake after another; but when I read it this time, I just fell in love with her. She's trapped! She has a choice: She can either accept a life a misery or she can struggle against it. And she chooses to struggle.
Some struggle. Hop into bed with every guy who says hello.
Sarah Pierce
She fails in the end, but there's something beautiful and even heroic about her rebellion. My professors would kill me for even thinking this, but in her own strange way, Emma Bovary is a feminist
Oh, that's nice. So now cheating on your husband makes you a feminist?
Sarah Pierce
No, no, it's not the cheating. It's the hunger. The hunger for an alternative, and the refusal to accept a life of unhappiness.
Maybe I didn't understand the book!
Sarah Pierce
Do you need nelp?
She's gone.
Sarah Pierce
Who's gone?
Mommy's gone.
Sarah Pierce
I'm sorry.
Mommy died.
Brad Adamson
Go ahead and ask.
Sarah Pierce
What?
Brad Adamson
You know, what the person who wears the pants in the family does for a living.
Sarah Pierce
You know what they call you?
Brad Adamson
What?
Sarah Pierce
The prom king.
Brad Adamson
Oh God, really?
Sarah Pierce
Yeah, they mean it as a compliment. You're a big character in their fantasy lives.
Sarah Pierce
You're nervous, aren't you?
Brad Adamson
What? What do you mean?
Sarah Pierce
The game. Don't worry. You'll be great tonight.
Brad Adamson
I don't know. I haven't played in 10 years. It used to be my whole life. Then when I stopped, I just... stopped. I didn't even miss it. Now that I'm playing again, I... feel, I-- I don't know.
Sarah Pierce
You feel alive.
Brad Adamson
Yeah.
Sarah Pierce
That's good. That's how you're supposed to feel.
