Adam Bonner
- Kip Lurie: Well, good luck tomorrow, Amanda. I'm on your side, I guess you know that. You've got me so convinced, I may even go out and become a woman. Goodnight.
- [leaves]
- Adam Bonner: And he wouldn't have far to go, either.
- Amanda Bonner: Shh!
- Adam Bonner: What's a matter?
- Kip Lurie: [steps back into the kitchen and whispers] He can hear you.
- Adam Bonner: [takes a bite out of his fake gun] Licorice. If there's anything I'm a sucker for, it's licorice.
- Beryl Caighn: She tried to shoot me.
- Adam Bonner: How do you know that?
- Beryl Caighn: Because she did it.
- Amanda Bonner: What I said was true: there's no difference between the sexes. Men, women, the same.
- Adam Bonner: They are, huh?
- Amanda Bonner: Well, maybe there is a difference, but it's a little difference.
- Adam Bonner: Well, you know as the French say...
- Amanda Bonner: What do they say?
- Adam Bonner: Vive la Difference!
- Amanda Bonner: Which means?
- Adam Bonner: Which means hooray for that little difference.
- Adam Bonner: [Adam spanks Amanda's bottom and she gets off the massage table and glares at him] What's the matter? Don't you want your rubdown? What? What are ya, sore about a little slap?
- Amanda Bonner: No.
- Adam Bonner: Well, what then?
- Amanda Bonner: [outraged] You meant that, didn't you? You *really* meant that.
- Adam Bonner: Why, no, I...
- Amanda Bonner: Yes, you did. I can tell. I know your type. I know a *slap* from a *slug*.
- Adam Bonner: Well, OK, OK... .
- Amanda Bonner: I'm not so sure it is. I'm not so sure I care to--expose myself to typical instinctive masculine brutality.
- Adam Bonner: Oh, come now.
- Amanda Bonner: And it felt not only as though you meant it, but as though you felt you had a *right* to. I can tell.
- Adam Bonner: What've you got back there? Radar equipment?
- Amanda Bonner: [addressing the court] For years, women have been ridiculed, pampered, chucked under the chin. I ask you, on behalf of us all, be fair to the fair sex.
- Adam Bonner: We'll be here a year.
- Adam Bonner: What do you want around here, anyway?
- Kip Lurie: As if you didn't already know.
- [looks at Amanda]
- Amanda Bonner: This sort of thing burns my goat.
- Adam Bonner: Your what?
- Amanda Bonner: My goat! My goat!
- Amanda Bonner: All I'm saying is, why let this deplorable system seep into our courts of law where women are supposed to be equal?
- Adam Bonner: Mostly, I think, females get advantages.
- Amanda Bonner: We don't want advantages, and we don't want prejudices.
- Adam Bonner: Oh, don't get excited, honey, and don't--oh, you're giving me the Bryn Mawr accent.
- Amanda Bonner: Now, look, all I'm trying to say is that there are lots of things that a man can do and in society's eyes, it's all hunky-dory. A woman does the same thing--the same, mind you--and she's an outcast.
- Adam Bonner: Finished?
- Amanda Bonner: No. Now I'm not blaming you personally, Adam, because this is so.
- Adam Bonner: Oh, well, that's awfully large of you.
- Adam Bonner: Why did you marry her?
- Warren Francis Attinger: How should I know? Who knows? Why'd you marry yours? Does anybody know?
- Amanda Bonner: Why? Why? What's so funny?
- Adam Bonner: Nothin'. You just sound cute when you get causey.
- Adam Bonner: I am going to cut you into 12 little pieces and feed you to the jury, so get prepared for it.
- Amanda Bonner: [turns off the light, takes off her robe] Goodnight, Pinky.
- [kiss]
- Adam Bonner: Aww, goodnight.
- Amanda Bonner: Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- Adam Bonner: Give you a real rubdown later if you'll give me one.
- Amanda Bonner: Yeah, Adam!
- Amanda Bonner: Pinky.
- Adam Bonner: Calling me?
- Amanda Bonner: What's that?
- Adam Bonner: Just the best hat in the world - for the best head.
