  Laurel Ayres : Well, yeah. I have drive and courage and ambition. And if you'll look at the prospectus, you'll notice that I have a very, very sound business mind too.

  Loan Officer : I was thinking more like stocks, bonds, property.

  Loan Officer : Oh, I see. Because we're the "women's bank", we should go against standard banking practices and give you this very large, unsecured loan because you're the right gender.

  Laurel Ayres : Well... you know, it might send a message.

  Loan Officer : Right: that women don't know how to run a bank.

  Laurel Ayres : Touché.

• Frank : You better be premenstral.
