"Sailor: [Speaking of Richard's profession] Wow, a movie maker. Patricia: Oh, well, careful. Richard makes films, not movies. There's a big difference. Sailor: What difference is that? Patricia: Well, as far as I can tell; movies, people want to see. Films, on the other hand, people need to be talked into seeing. Sailor: Huh. Patricia: Yup. And Richard makes films."
"Patricia: [an upper Westside sophisticate] We New Yorkers must seem a little strange to you, huh? Sailor: [a "hayseed" from Turkey Scratch, AR] : Oh, I think y'all are great... a tad... uh, what's that word? Yeah, a tad provincial, but otherwise I think y'all are first rate. Patricia: Wait, wait. Did you just call us provincial? Sailor: Uh, yes, ma'am, I guess I did. I don't mean any offense. It's just an observation is all. Patricia: That's a little bit of stretch, wouldn't you say? Sailor: Why would that be, ma'am? Patricia: Well, maybe we're not on the same wavelength when it comes to the definition of provincial. Sailor: Jeez, maybe we're not. Patricia: Well, when I think of someone as being provincial, I think of them as being small minded - you know, being prejudiced in their views, not being open to differing influences, especially philosophically. Sailor: [long pause] Huh! What do you know? That's... that's how I think of provincial, too. Patricia: Oh... [laugh of recognition] Patricia: ...is that right? Sailor: I guess it all depends on which side of the pot you're pissin' in, huh, ma'am?"
