Quotes5

  • Commander: I want you to be happy, Serena.
  • Serena Joy: Yes. Life is so much easier for you when I am.
  • Commander: So, what do you think? Why didn't you say something?
  • Kate: I don't think.
  • Commander: The guys made their move and asked me to go in with them. So, I liked most of the things they wanted to do, so that was it. Period.
  • Kate: Why?
  • Commander: Why? Country was in a mess, that's why - a total mess. All the garbage had kind of risen to the top. You know, we had all these pressure groups running the store, trying to dictate to us. Blacks, homos, you know all those people on welfare.
  • Kate: Women.
  • Commander: Yes, siree, women. So we had to clean it up. We took out a big hose and washed the place clean.
  • Kate: I guess I'm lucky.
  • Commander: Lucky ducky. Better a lucky ducky than a dead ducky.
  • Commander: The country was crazy. I mean, nobody felt anything, men or women. All they had was, like how can I put it? Like itches. Sex itches, money itches, power itches. But that's not enough. There was no common purpose. Nothing to believe in, nothing to fight for. Nobody really knew how to feel anything anymore.
