Daily Dialogue — September 7, 2012

“Do you think God knew what He was doing when He created woman? Huh? No shit. I really wanna know. Or do you think it was another one of His minor mistakes like tidal waves, earthquakes, FLOODS? You think women are like that? S’matter? You don’t think God makes mistakes? Of course He does. We ALL make mistakes. Of course, when WE make mistakes they call it evil. When GOD makes mistakes, they call it… nature. So whaddya think? Women… a mistake… or DID HE DO IT TO US ON PURPOSE?”

— Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson), The Witches of Eastwick (1987), screenplay by Michael Cristofer, based on a novel by John Updike
