Quotes1

  • [Celeste consults with the alien council]
  • Celeste Martin: The subject says he will be unable to think about science unless he marries me.
  • Council Chief: Well, marry him.
  • Celeste Martin: But we don't know what "marry" is.
  • Council Chief: One moment.
  • [the second council member takes a book. He and the council chief leaf through it until they find the page about marriage]
  • Council Chief: Ah, yes. The Monchine Forty says marriage is this: he goes off to fight the Turks, and you put on a lock.
  • [Celeste is confused]
  • Second in Command: No, no, no.
  • [they leaf more pages]
  • Council Chief: Oh, yes, yes. Wrong century. Eh... marriage is this: you cook and clean and bring him martinis.
  • Second in Command: No, no!
  • Council Chief: Wrong again? Ridiculous...
  • [they leaf more pages]
  • Council Chief: Yes. Wrong decade. Too old-fashioned. Ah, here we are, yes. The modern marriage: there are no rules or responsibilities, but if he does something wrong, you can set him on fire while he sleeps and go on a talk show, where everyone will forgive you and love you. There is only one drawback: you will have to have more sex.
  • Celeste Martin: [excitedly] I'll do it!
