ZOE : No, wait. This is actually a very fascinating dynamic - whats going on at this table... MARIN (warning him) : Zoe teaches Womens Studies at Columbia. . . HARRY : Oh, so this is gonna hurt. ZOE : No, come on, listen, heres the rub for women. Look at what we have here with you and Erica. Harry, youve been around the block a few times, right? Youre what? Around 60, never been married, which, we all know, if you were a woman, would be a curse, youd be an old maid, a spinster, blah, blah, blah... Okay, so instead of pitying you, they write articles about you, celebrate your never marrying, it makes you illusive and ungettable. Youre a real catch. Then, take my gorgeous sister here... ERICA : Any chance of you stopping here? ZOE : Come on, this is interesting. I mean, look at her, shes so accomplished, the most successful woman playwright since who? Lillian Hellman? Shes over fifty, divorced and still sits in night after night because the available guys her age want... (to Marin) ZOE (contd) : --forgive me honey for saying this, but they want girls that look like Marin so the whole over fifty dating scene is geared completely towards men leaving older women out and as a result that makes the older women more and more productive and more and more interesting, which, in turn, makes them even less desirable because as we all know -- men, especially older men, are threatened and deathly afraid of interesting and accomplished women. Its just so clear. Single older women, as a demographic, are as f*cked a group as can ever exist. Somethings Gotta Give. Written, produced and directed by Nancy Meyers. youtube/watch?v=UBAyqwEcaHw
