Joanna Douglas: Samantha Strange

Quotes 

• Lenin : [as Samantha wavers after smudging herself with wet paint]  Here, here, let me give you a hand.

  Samantha Strange : Thanks.

  Lenin : Feeling a little blue today?

  [causing crestfallen look] 

  Lenin : Sorry, lame joke.

  Samantha Strange : I was looking for Room T327, and now have paint all over me and the map...

  Lenin : [pointing at her designer high heels, one scuffed blue]  Your shoe.

  Samantha Strange : Oh no! Oh no no no no no!

  Lenin : Hold on! Hold on! I got it!

  [fetches some thinner] 

  Lenin : Here, let me. It's not a problem. I clean up way worse today, trust me.

  Samantha Strange : [softly]  Okay. Thanks.

  Lenin : Here, let me. Flip it off. Come on.

  Samantha Strange : [softly, as she slips off shoe]  Thank you.

  Lenin : [applying thinner, scrubbing lightly, diligently, but to no avail]  Know what? Looks like I'm gonna have to call this one. Time of death, 10:57.

  Samantha Strange : [adamantly]  I can not go to an interview with one blue shoe.

  Lenin : Why not? It makes a statement.

  Samantha Strange : It says that I'm a flake.

  Lenin : No, it says that you're an eccentric non-conformist.

  Samantha Strange : [scoffs]  Which I'm sure is totally what they are looking for in a surgeon.

  Lenin : [somewhat taken aback]  You're a surgeon?

  Samantha Strange : [slips her shoe back on over a shapely foot]  Why, is that bad?

  Lenin : No, no. It's just you don't really seem like a surgeon.

  Samantha Strange : And what are surgeons like?

  Lenin : You know, God complex, jocks, always really busy. Anyway, Room T327 is right over there, to the left, and around the stairs.

  Samantha Strange : Thank you.

  Lenin : Good luck, doctor.

  Samantha Strange : [before she walks off, smiling]  Samantha. Just Samantha.
