Noemi:
"I would never put anyone else down for their choice, but I think if I ever felt that tempted, I would just...get down on my knees and pray to God..."
Liz Batho:
"NO!!! (sound of a thunderclap) You must never mention His name in here! You see, my dear, we could get into a lot of trouble for having that sort of talk in a public school, yes? Well, I think that's enough for today. See you all next time."
Leah:
"Paul, are we alone?"
Paul:
"Uh, yeah."
Leah:
"I want to discuss De Beauvoir right now."
Paul:
"Okay."
Leah:
"Paul, do you believe that one's life has value so long as one attributes value to the love of others?"
Paul:
"Uh, yeah."
Leah:
"Good, good. Very good. Do you believe that women can free themselves, both through individual action as well as...collective decisions?"
Paul:
"Yeah. Yes. Absolutely."
Leah:
"Do you believe that one is not born, but rather becomes a woman?"
Paul:
"Well, yes, but don't forget that De Beauvoir said that even the most sympathetic of men can never fully comprehend a woman's situation."
Leah:
"Shh, shh. Paul, we'll get to that. Right now, I need you to do me a favor."
Paul:
"Yes."
Leah:
"I need you to help me become a woman. Right now."
