Anne Heche: Laura
Quotes
-
Rachel : You can't argue the subject with me because you just used a word that does not exist.
Laura : Really? And what word is that?
Rachel : Always. You used the word always, and always is the key to every woman's heartbreak.
Laura : Why?
Rachel : Because we expect that he will always be there, we expect that we will always be loved no matter what we do or what we look like, well that is clearly not the case now is it, because we get fat and we get old, we get traded in for younger models every day. So the simple truth is the only always is that everything changes. And in my experience men's whims are the most changeable of all, so No, I guess is the answer to your question is no I do not want some guy to tell me that he is Always gonna be there to protect me from the scary noises at night because then I'm gonna know he's a liar. I can protect myself just fine thank you very much.

Debbie : No Laura, Rachel tells them the truth, not what they want to hear but the actual truth. And I think that's pretty admirable considering the fact that culturally as women we're conditioned to lie.
Laura : What are you talking about?
Katherine : Yeah, I've got to hear this.
Debbie : Alright fine listen, you know how a man if he has sex with like a hundred women he's considered a stud, but if a woman sleeps with like ten guys she's considered a whore, so how the hell does a woman not start feeling like she has to lie with the pressure of that kind of ridiculous double standard.
Laura : That's not lying , that's just not giving all the information.
Katherine : That's shady
Debbie : No that's justification.
Laura : No that's reality. If me weren't so infantile about confronting their woman's history then we wouldn't have to lie would we, I mean do you know how much easier my last relationship would have been if I didn't have to deal with the did you fuck him questions all the time.
