Quotes
Sam - Do you know how fast sound goes?
AJ - 300 miles per hour?
Sam - Correct.
(not correct!)
- Sam and AJ
May I also come into the room?
I'm afraid no women are allowed at the RAF.
(audience boos at Sam)
Not here in 1949. Fuck you.
(Sam makes rude gesture at the audience)
- Tom and Sam
I'm going out dancing.
Are you allowed to do that?
The swinging 60s?! I'm allowed to do all sorts of things I couldn't do before. I'm going to. Because I'm a woman with autonomy and freedom. I'm even allowed inside buildings now!
- Tom and AJ
Who are you anyway?
Watch out for the dog shit! (AJ runs away)
Hey, come back! Come back!! Oh, I wasn't ready for him to lightly jog away!
- Tom and AJ
I can't let you do that Michael! (Tom)
I will come back! Let me just try. If there is any way that I can break through the poop loop... (AJ)
No no no, we're better than that! (Tom breaking character)
Time is constipated! (Sam)
No. No! No! NO! No. Noo. Noo. Noo. Noooo. (Tom)
(sad Sam)
- Tom, AJ and Sam
