Quote context

[...]

- Well, then, I don't see why...

- Ya know, the trouble with women is they ask too many questions. They should spend all their time just being beautiful.

- And let the men do the worrying.

- Yeah.

- You know, I've been thinking. Women Oughta come capsule-sized, about four inches high. When a man goes out of an evening, he just puts her in his pocket and takes her along with him, and, that way, he knows exactly where she is.

- When he gets to his favourite restaurant, he puts her on the table, and lets her run around among the coffee cups while he swaps a few lies with his pals...

- Why...

- Without danger of interruption.

- And when it comes that time in the evening when he wants her, full-sized and beautiful, he just waves his hand and there she is, full-sized.

- Why, that's the most conceited statement I've ever heard.

- But if she starts to interrupt, he just shrinks her back to pocket size, and puts her away.

- I understand. What you're saying is women are made to be loved.

- Is that what I'm saying?

- Yes, it's... It's a confession that a woman may drive you out of your mind, but you wouldn't trust her. And, because you couldn't put her in your pocket, you'd get all mixed up.

- I don't understand what does it. What did it for Johnny?

- The trouble is it happened to Johnny, but it didn't happen to me, at least not as intensely.

- Yes, that's what he was afraid of.
