    Daisy is talking with Samson about Kelly Williams, the female wrestler.
D: What do you think, Samson? Should girls be allowed to wrestle with boys?
S: I don't see anything wrong with that.
D: Well, wrestling is a contact sport. It's very physical.
S: So? I thought you women always wanted to be equal to men.
D: Yes. But this is different. They'll be grabbing each other. And to win, one wrestler has to lie on top
   of his or her opponent.
S: So what?
D: It's disgusting. Girls just shouldn't wrestle with boys.
S: Gee, Daisy! Maybe you ought to be a nun.
D: That's not funny! You sex maniac!
