Ullie Birve: She

Alien Visitor

She

She: We better get back into the present. If I'm here before I got here, they won't be looking for me yet. And when later on they do look, I won't be here for them to find me.

She: You're going to have to help me get off.
The Man: Me? Off where?
She: Here. Off here. Off Earth.
The Man: Oh, you mean, this "vile" planet?
She: Yes.
The Man: Looks OK to me.
She: That's because you're like a frog.
The Man: Oh, I see.
She: You don't see at all. Have you ever cooked a live frog?
The Man: Why would I want to do that?
She: You might learn something.
[pause]
She: When you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump straight back out to save itself. But if you put a frog into a pot of cold water and heat it slowly it will swim around quite happily until the water gets too hot and kills it.
The Man: So?
She: Are you representative of the level of intelligence here or are you particularly stupid?
The Man: Oh, about average I'd say.
She: This place is worse than I thought.
[pause]
She: What happens to the second frog is what is happening to you here, right this minute. And I want to get off before the water boils.

She: How can you do it?
The Man: Do what?
She: Eat dead pig? It's wasting of resources, cruel in the extreme, and it's symptomatic of an immature and ego-centric society.
The Man: That's a lot of big words.
She: Oh. In small words, it means you're a barbarian.

She: Having the "Earth mentality" is the one thing that is unforgivable in the rest of the universe.

The Man: Are there any, like, boundaries on our relationship?
She: How do you mean, boundaries?
The Man: Well, boundaries, ya know? Like, for example, physical boundaries. If I've known your five minutes, or a week - my watch behaving strangely. But, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Say what you mean in a way.
She: What do you mean?
The Man: Well... you know...
She: If that's your idea of saying what you mean, it's no wonder this place is in such a mess.

The Man: If we weren't going to bring children into the world, there'd be no point saving it.
She: There's no point bringing children into the world until we've saved it.

She: I feel the need to have a relationship. We're together anyway, so it makes sense to also have a relationship.
The Man: We hardly know each other.
She: Oh, it's quite easy, really. We'll treat each other with respect and kindness, and have a relationship.
The Man: Just like that, ay?
She: Is that so hard?
The Man: No. Suits me fine.
She: Some simple rules need to be followed. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Don't get offended by anything I say or do, no matter how hard that might be for you, until after we've agreed to terminate the relationship. Don't bottle-up your feelings. Agree to disagree. Respect the other's point of view. That's the one that's going to be hardest for me...
