Quote context

[...]

- No, but really, women used it when giving birth. In some part of the world, they still do it.

- The woman in labor enters a tent, and the women of her tribe surround her and dance, and they encourage the birthing woman to dance with them, so as to make the birth less painful.

- And when the baby's born, they all dance in celebration.

- Wow. I don't think my mom would've gone for that.

- Mmm. I know.

- I heard about this old guy who, was watching some young people dance, and he said, 'How beautiful. They're trying to shake off their genitals and become angels.' -I like that.

- Men are lucky we don't bite off their head after mating. Certain insects do that, you know? Like spiders and stuff? We at least let you live. What are you complaining about?

- Yeah. See, you're officially kidding, but there's somethin' to that. You keep bringing stuff like that up.

- What? No, no, no. Wait a minute. Talking seriously here.
