Quote #7
I wish my mum could be emancipated, a feminist, a working mother, etc… and manage to do my ironing. (2.156)
Oh, Georgia… Her selfishness takes over here before her feminist side can really shine through.
Quote #8
Mum said, "Calm down, Bob, of course I respect you, it's just that it is quite funny to think of you as a transvestite." (2.162)
Mum gets in on busting Dad's chops here, but unfortunately, the punch line of the joke is gender deviation. Repeat after us: There's never any shame in just being yourself and stereotypes are limiting to all.
Quote #9
I'm going to be a comedy actress or someone like those "it" girls who don't actually do anything except be "it." The newspapers follow them all day, and the headlines say, Oh, look, there is Tara Pompeii Too-Booby going out to buy some biscuits!! or Tamsin Snaggle-Tooth Polyplops goes skiing in fur bikini. And they just make money from that. (2.170)
Sigh. Way to dream high, Georgia… not.
