Professor Marston & the Wonder Women Page #2

---

Sorry to interrupt. I'm Olive Byrne,

the new teacher's assistant.

Yes, hello.

Uh, Mrs. Marston said

you liked coffee in the afternoon.

Oh, good. You met my wife.

- Yes.

- Please, sit.

- Oh, no, I really should get back to...

- No, no, no, please. Sit.

Well, I'm very glad you could join us.

Are you all right?

Yes.

So tell me a little about yourself.

Uh, I'm afraid there's

not much to tell, really.

You're engaged.

Yes.

So, what makes you interested

in the field of psychology?

Uh, I don't know, I...

The girls, my sorority sisters...

...they, uh, said your lectures

were interesting, and it...

- What?

- Fit in my schedule.

I find the human mind fascinating. I...

I'm sorry.

I don't think this was the best idea.

- What is?

- I don't know why...

...she would say such awful things.

Excuse me.

But you said you had

no sexual jealousy.

But I do have professional jealousy,

and the work that we're doing right now...

...well, it's critical,

I can't have you panting after some coed.

- Before, you said it was all right.

- I changed my mind.

If you desperately want

to understand the mind of a woman...

- ...you can start with that.

- You made the poor girl cry, Elizabeth.

When I asked you not to f***

my husband...

...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.

- I've done nothing.

- No, I know, you're right.

I just don't know why women and men...

That's why I wanted

to work for you both...

...because I thought

you could tell me why.

I never do anything,

and yet, nobody sees me or hears me.

It's just all noise and hostility and lies.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.

I wanna learn.

I admire you, I...

...read your paper on the correlation

of color and emotional states.

You read my paper?

It's criminal

that they will not give you a degree.

You know,

you don't need to feed me a line.

I'm not. God, what is wrong with you?

She's neurotic, also compulsive.

I'd say that's accurate.

Hmm.

Would it be possible

to get some whiskey with this?

It's illegal.

Come on.

Where?

How are you going to learn anything at all

about life if you refuse to live it?

Oh, no, darling,

I have to disagree with you.

- Oh, surprise, surprise.

- No, Freud is full of sh*t.

- No. What would I want with a penis?

- Heh.

Seriously, it would be exhausting

to have one organ...

...constantly directing the course

of your life. Olive, do you want a penis?

- No.

- Do you think that you have penis envy?

I don't understand

what that means, sorry.

Will you stop apologizing?

Do you know how many times

a minute you apologize?

Sorry.

Elizabeth, peach, penis envy is figurative.

It means a woman experiences

an envy of the male position in the world.
