The Strawberry Statement

Elliot - Coxswain:
[describing a large breasted woman who looks for Simon] Do you remember that... National Geographic you have in your back room?

Simon:
[laughs] Yeah.

Elliot - Coxswain:
Yeah, well this one is a white version of page 43.

Girl in Filing Room:
[after exposing her breasts to Simon] Did you know Lenin loved women with big breasts?

Simon:
How many kids *will* show, do you think?

Charlie:
It's worth taking a look. I mean, a lot of kids'll show because of that strawberry statement.

Simon:
What?

Charlie:
The dean. He said our telling him we had an opinion is like telling him we like strawberries.

Simon:
Oh, I love straw - I love strawberries!

Charlie:
Oh, schmuck.

Simon:
Strawberries? What's he got against strawberries?

Charlie:
Must be their color.

Simon:
[on the phone in jail] Dad, what do you mean "Simon Who?" Yeah. Good. How's mom? Good. Got arrested. Yeah, jail. Uh. Well, yes, well, uh, if, well, it has been growing for two months, I mean, it's gotta be longer, right? Well, some people have bad associations when they see long hair, and some have them when they see long Cadillacs. Oh, I solved my identity crisis. Yeah. Hey, lemme - I'll - I'll call you later, OK? Bye-bye.

Linda:
You're not really serious about this.

Simon:
I am, too.

Linda:
The university is burning babies and killing men, and you're on the rowing team.

Simon:
Rowing *crew*. Linda...

Linda:
It's a waste. This strike is part of something real. That's better than being a rowing jock.

Simon:
Now, look, most of the guys on the crew aren't jocks. I mean, uh, crew doesn't even have as many WASPs as it should have, according to the population percentage of WASPs in the nation.

Linda:
Maybe it should be shut down.

Simon:
Now, look, I mean they have uh, mustaches and everything.

Linda:
Simon, if you wanna row a boat, row a boat.

Simon:
Look, you don't understand what it's like. I mean it's, uh... it's erotic. I mean, you should try it. I mean it's a commitment. It's real.

Linda:
It's not real. It's a game. The movement is real.

Simon:
Linda...

Linda:
What?

Simon:
I am so incredibly confused.

Linda:
So am I.

Linda:
What are you doing?

Simon:
I wanna feel... what it feels like to... *litter* from the back of a paddy wagon.

Linda:
So how does it feel?

Simon:
Nice. Not terrific, not fantastic, but... but nice.
