| SUGAR | You think I dress provocatively? |
| BERNARD | You dress sexily – as any attractive young girl is entitled to. |
| SUGAR | To attract men. |
| BERNARD | To look good, I presume. To feel good about yourself. |
| SUGAR | Despite being a rape victim. |
| BERNARD | Despite that. In spite of that. |
| SUGAR | Or because of that? |
| BERNARD | You tell me. Is it because of that? |
| SUGAR | Nah. I’m done with that. I don’t care about that. |
| BERNARD | One is never done with something like that, Sugar. But it’s good that you feel that way. Tell me… |
| SUGAR | What? |
| BERNARD | What do you feel about men in general? About the whole feminist thing? |
| SUGAR | Thing? |
| BERNARD | The modern movement. Women’s activist attitudes. |
| SUGAR | You mean equal pay and all that stuff? |
| BERNARD | Equal pay, equal status, equal opportunities… |
| SUGAR | Well, it’s bollocks really, isn’t it? |
| BERNARD | Really? |
| SUGAR | Yeh. I mean, women are never going to be the same as men. They’re stupider, cleverer, weaker, stronger, softer, harder… You know what I think? |
| BERNARD | What? |
| SUGAR | Men should be abolished. |
| BERNARD | Ha. |
| SUGAR | I mean, look at the history of the world. It’s men that are responsible for most of its problems, innit? Men are behind most crimes, most wars, most tyrannies, most assaults, most cruelties, most dogmas, most… most… |
| BERNARD | You don’t love men. |
| SUGAR | Oh, I love men. That’s the fucking problem. |
| BERNARD | You wish you didn’t. |
| SUGAR | It’s why a lot of women turn lesbian, isn’t it? To escape the clutches of men. |
| BERNARD | But you’ve never gone that way? |
| SUGAR | No. Told you, I love men. I love sex. Hormones again. Do you…? |
| BERNARD | What? |
| SUGAR | Agree. |
| BERNARD | About what? |
| SUGAR | Men should be abolished. |
| BERNARD | Yes, not a bad idea actually. But then what about procreation? |
| SUGAR | Oh, we’d keep you for that. |
