A Touch of Class - Cultural Critique on American Masculinity
Vickie Allessio:
God, you're all the same. This obsession with male sexual prowess. It is so typically American.
Steve Blackburn:
Oh, is it?
Vickie Allessio:
It is, if you don't mind me telling you.
Steve Blackburn:
I don't mind you telling me, not a bit. But it's just that phrase I can't stand - "typically American".
Vickie Allessio:
Why not?
Steve Blackburn:
Because there's no such thing as typically American.
Vickie Allessio:
Whoa-ho-ho!
Steve Blackburn:
It's a big place, America. Which typically American Americans do you mean? The cab drivers in New York? The coal miners in Pennsylvania? The students at Berkeley? The Mormons in Utah? The Harlem Globetrotters? How about the Daughters of the American Revolution? Are those the ones you mean? I'll tell you something. They're all throwing rocks at each other. The only thing typically American about the two hundred million Americans is that they never do anything typically alike, and that goes for humping too.

Oh, I love to cook.
Steve Blackburn:
Doesn't he like to eat?
Vickie Allessio:
He loves to eat.

I, I don't understand.

We have different kitchens, his is in Milan.
Steve Blackburn:
It's a shame!
Vickie Allessio:
Please don't cry, he found another cook.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - Perceptions of Success and Personal Discontent
Nick:
To you, everybody's a flop! Your husband's a flop, I'm a flop…
Martha:
You're all flops. I am the Earth Mother, and you are all flops.
Martha:
I disgust me. You know, there's only been one man in my whole life who's ever made me happy. You know that? One.
Nick:
What, the gym instructor or something?
Martha: [pause]
No, no, no, no. George. My husband?
Nick:
You're kidding.
Martha:
Am I?
Nick:
You must be! Him?
Martha:
Yep.

George, sure!

You don't believe it.
Nick:
Well, of course I do!
Martha:
You always deal in appearances?
Nick:
Oh, for God's sake.
Martha:
George, who is out somewhere there in the dark. Who is good to me. Whom I revile. Who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha — sad, sad, sad.
Nick:
Sad.
Martha:
Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest, for having seen me and having said, "Yes, this will do". Who has made the hideous, the hurting, the insulting mistake of loving… me. And must be punished for it. George and Martha — sad, sad, sad.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - The Intersection of Civilization and Disillusionment
George:
Take the trouble to construct a civilization, to build a society based on the principles of, uh… of principle.
Nick:
Honey!
George:
You make government and art and realize that they are, must be, both the same. You bring things to the saddest of all points, to the point where there is something to lose. Then, all at once, through all the music, through all the sensible sounds of men building, attempting, comes the Dies Irae. And what is it? What does the trumpet sound? "Up yours".

Yes.

Nick: [to Honey]
We'll go in a little while.
George:
Oh no! No, you mustn't! Martha is changing, and Martha is not changing for me! Martha hasn't changed for me in years! If Martha is changing, that means we're going to be here for days. You're being accorded an honor. You mustn't forget that Martha is the daughter of our beloved boss. She is his right… arm, heh heh. I was going to use another word, but we'll leave that sort of talk to Martha.
Martha:
What sort of talk?
Nick:
Well, now.
George:
Why, Martha! Your Sunday chapel dress!

Brandy? Just brandy? Simple, simple…

What about you, em… em… em…

Bourbon on the rocks, if you don't mind.
