Yes, that's what comes of going to college, leaving the home, getting these new ideas. All the same, Helen, the men, really nice men, don't like it.
Helen
Well, you see, I don't like really nice men, so that makes it agreeable all around.
Lucy
If it were only art or music or something feminine, but that awful laboratory! How can a lady poison poor, innocent little monkeys?
Helen
If I were a lady I'd dine with monkeys.... Do you know what the word means, Lucy? In Anglo-Saxon times "lady" meant "one who gives loaves"; now, one who takes a loaf.
Lucy
Very clever, my dear, but some day you'll be sorry. No man, Helen, likes a woman to have independent views.
