• Vickie Allessio : God, you're all the same. This obsession with male sexual prowess. It is so typically American.

  Steve Blackburn : Oh, is it?

  Vickie Allessio : It is, if you don't mind me telling you.

  Steve Blackburn : I don't mind you telling me, not a bit. But it's just that phrase I can't stand - "typically American".

  Vickie Allessio : Why not?

  Steve Blackburn : Because there's no such thing as typically American.

  Vickie Allessio : Whoa-ho-ho!

  Steve Blackburn : It's a big place, America. Which typically American Americans do you mean? The cab drivers in New York? The coal miners in Pennsylvania? The students at Berkeley? The Mormons in Utah? The Harlem Globetrotters? How about the Daughters of the American Revolution? Are those the ones you mean? I'll tell you something. They're all throwing rocks at each other. The only thing typically American about the two hundred million Americans is that they never do anything typically alike, and that goes for humping too.
