American Beauty - Asparagus Scene
| Carolyn Burnham: |
Your father and I were just discussing his day at work. Why don't you tell our daughter about it, honey?
|
| Lester Burnham: |
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
|
| Carolyn Burnham: |
Your father seems to think this kind of behavior is something to be proud of.
|
| Lester Burnham: |
And your mother seems to prefer that I go through life like a fucking prisoner while she keeps my dick in a mason jar under the sink.
|
| Carolyn Burnham: |
How dare you speak to me that way in front of her. And I marvel that you can be so contemptuous of me, on the same day that you LOSE your job.
|
| Lester Burnham: |
Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops! Where'd my job go?" I QUIT. Someone pass the asparagus, please. |
