Tamara: “If you really want to know what I think about women’s lib, well, it’s okay for women who can get a little action. Sure. Why not? It’s like eating. You have to, but you prefer to pick and choose. Me? I just want a guy. What’s wrong with that? Listen, when I was in my teens and twenties I nearly died. The sex urge is the most important thing in the world then. I mean, it really pushes you. So what did I do? I loned it while my friends took their fellows whenever they pleased. Don’t tell me this is an equal world. Youth, looks and money are what count and people who don’t have them are at the poverty level.”

Miss Sonia: “What do you know about suffering? I was bom a pretty dummy. Not only that, my pancreas and pituitary were defective. They put that dingus in my dingus so I could enjoy life. They gave me hell.”

Tamara: “Did you ever have a guy flinch when you touched him? Don’t tell me your troubles, tramp.”

The machines were God, for a little while. No, the manipulator was God. So many motors to be sparked and guided, so much power over life, a wire here, a button there—walk, little puppet, talk like a man, show me what I think you would have said, behave for me, dance, prance. I’m doing it. No, they’re doing it. So tired, eyes sore, mouth dry, can’t think straight, if only I could sleep.
