June Gudmundsdottir
- Griffin Mill: It lacked certain elements that we need to market a film successfully.
- June: What elements?
- Griffin Mill: Suspense, laughter, violence. Hope, heart, nudity, sex. Happy endings. Mainly happy endings.
- June: What about reality?
- Griffin Mill: Let's go to Acapulco.
- June: Is that the thing to do?
- Griffin Mill: It's *a* thing to do.
- Griffin Mill: [looking at June's paintings] These are very interesting. I like them... Where do you show?
- June: Hmm?
- Griffin Mill: Gallery - - what gallery? Who's your dealer?
- June: [chuckles] I don't have a "dealer." I couldn't sell these. They're never finished.
- Griffin Mill: They're never finished?
- June: No, they're just... what I do. For myself. What I feel.
- June: [on the phone with Griffin] David's gone to the cinema.
- Griffin Mill: Oh. When will he be back?
- June: When the film's over, I presume.
- Griffin Mill: And you are?
- June: June.
- Griffin Mill: June...?
- June: Here we go. You want to know my last name. Well, you're not going to pronounce it - no one can.
- Griffin Mill: Try me.
- June: Gudmundsdottir.
- Griffin Mill: [saying it a few times, pronouncing it fairly accurately] Gudmundsdottir... Gudmundsdottir - - How's that?
- June: Eh, very good!
- Griffin Mill: Thanks. What do people usually say?
- June: Oh, don't ask. Like, anything from Good Dog's Water to Goulash Wallop.
- Griffin Mill: Oh? Where's are you kind-of, sort-of not from?
- June: Well... do you want the long story or the short one?
- Griffin Mill: The long.
- June: No, you'd never believe it. The short one... Iceland.
- Griffin Mill: Iceland? No one comes from Iceland. I thought it was just a block of ice.
- June: It's green, really.
- Griffin Mill: Really? I thought that was Greenland.
- June: Greenland's very icy. Iceland's very green. They switched names to fool the Vikings who tried to steal their women.
- Griffin Mill: Oh, I see.
