Nadia quotes from The L Word

Nadia

Wow. Are you... are you an athlete?

Bette

[a beat] No. Why?

Nadia

Because you have, uhh... because you have very beautiful arms.

Bette

[laughs nervously] Uhh, I do some, you know, some yoga every now and again. I just, I really don't have any time to do anything more than that.

Nadia

My ex-girlfriend was a professional boxer and your arms sort of reminded me of hers.

Bette

[chuckles] Well, I'm not a boxer, so I better not get into a ring with her.

Nadia

[seeing Bette rub her shoulder] Do you have a knot? Do you want me to unlock it?

Bette

Uh... it... it's okay. No, really, it's fine.

Nadia

[rubbing Bette's shoulders anyway] Oh, wow. You are really tight. God, do you feel that? It's right there.

Bette

[whispering] Nadia, please...

Nadia

Do you want me to find you a body worker? Because, oh my gosh, I have the most amazing Ayurvedic healer, and he, he went so deep...

Bette

I, uh, I'd prefer a woman.

Nadia

[a beat] Well. That can be arranged, Dean Porter.

Bette

I just need to find out, uh, what conferences C.U. has hosted. I know that we did the Global Sustainability last August...

Nadia

Where Dr. Gorsham sustained multiple hickeys from his two teaching assistants.

Bette

You mean he slept with both of them?

Nadia

Don't be shocked. It happens all the time.

Bette

Well, that doesn't make it acceptable.

Nadia

No, but we're all adults, Bette. I mean, in a cloistered environment like a university, it would be absurd to think that there weren't relationships between faculty and students.
