Loan Officer:
Do you have any assets?
Laurel Ayres:
Well, yeah. I have drive and courage and ambition. And if you'll look at the prospectus, you'll notice that I have a very, very sound business mind too.
Loan Officer:
I was thinking more like stocks, bonds, property.
Laurel Ayres:
Ah. Now, we're starting to sound a little like a "men's bank", now, aren't we?
Loan Officer:
Oh, I see. Because we're the "women's bank", we should go against standard banking practices and give you this very large, unsecured loan because you're the right gender.
Laurel Ayres:
Well... you know, it might send a message.
Loan Officer:
Right: that women don't know how to run a bank.
Laurel Ayres:
Touché.
