Venus and Mars

Leila: Star Trek is just one of those guy things that I don’t understand....

Robert: [trying to supress his need to question Leila and failing]

Robert: ...I gotta go the tote on this...It’s a guy thing?

Leila: Yes. Like personal electronics. Every guy I know is always bragging about the size of his speakers or his computer RAM. To be quite honest, I’m much more interested in the size of …

Robert: I *hate* the fact that women do not give a shit how anything looks or sounds, as long as they can sing along with the lyrics.

Leila: [disgusted little noise]

Robert: All right, I'm sorry - I get a little carried away sometimes. But you know what, I can say the exact same thing about women and their obsession with their shoes.

Leila: That's a sexist comment.

Robert: Is it?

Leila: Yeah.

Robert: How many pairs of shoes do you have in your closet?

Leila: I don't know. Maybe, um...

Robert: I'm sorry, I didn't hear that. What was that?

Leila: Fifty-three.

Robert: FIFTY-TH - and you're calling *me* crazy?

Leila: I don't know! Fifty-two, maybe? I'm, I'm not sure.

Robert: Whatever, Imelda! That's totally obscene! I've got two pairs of sneakers, a pair of Docs, and a pair of boots, that's it!

Leila: I don't expect you to understand.

Robert: Of course not, because it's totally ridiculous.

Leila: You can wear shoes; they're practical.

Robert: Oh yeah, but can you wear 53 pairs? It's like women with a $30,000 engagement ring.

Leila: What's wrong with that?

Robert: Oh, come on. You know if it doesn't have anti-lock brakes and a passenger side airbag, it's *not* worth thirty K
