  • Donna (about a book on life in America 100 years ago): Some medical authorities warned that professional seamstresses were apt to become sexually aroused by the steady rhythm of the foot pedals. They recommended slipping bromide, which was thought to diminish sexual desire, into a woman's drinking water.

    Donna: It can get outta hand! edit »
  • Gina (on letting Zoey visit a nightclub): You're looking at the girl whose job it is to jump in front of the bullet. I like it when she stays in her dorm and watches videos. edit »
