Felton:
Oh, so that's what cous-cous is.

Lewis:
Where is it written a man can't try something new every now and again?

Bolander:
Who's the dolly? Who's the dolly?

Lewis:
What?

Bolander:
I've never seen a man eat cous-cous unless a woman was involved. Who is she?

Felton:
Lewis is in love with Emma Zoole. Let me clue you in on something, pal. Cous-cous is not gonna make a difference. I've gone the health food route. Stir-fry this, low-fat that; what this is really about is control. If you allow her to control what it is you eat, it's curtains. How much more primary, how much more basic can you get than what a man puts into his stomach? Munch and crunch all the veggies you want, but in the end, new girl or not, you're out. Because you did not take a stand and that's what this is about. Not health, not love, not living fat-free. This is about women trying to dominate men.

Lewis:
It's just cous-cous, man.
