Albie Di Grasso quotes from The White Lotus

Albie Di Grasso

God. It just seems like the body would naturally stop getting horny once you're past the age of procreation, you know? Like at 50, you would just stop.

Dominic Di Grasso

Fifty? Fifty's not that old.

Albie Di Grasso

It just seems undignified.

Bert Di Grasso

I'm still virile, by the way. I could still impregnate a woman.

Dominic Di Grasso

Oh.

Albie Di Grasso

No girl should have to be exposed to an old guy's junk.

Bert Di Grasso

It's not like it was ever so beautiful to look at anyway. I mean, it's a penis. It's not a sunset.

Portia

Like, I just wanna... [chuckles] I don't know, feel, like, fulfilled and have an adventure, and, like, I'm sick of fucking TikTok and... and Bumble, and just... screens and apps and sitting there binging Netflix. And I just... I just wanna, like, live. I just wanna live my life, so badly. [chuckles] I just feel like I just wanna meet someone who's like, you know, totally ignorant of... the discourse. You know?

Albie Di Grasso

Right. Right. Like... Like someone who lives in a cave. Like a caveman.

Portia

Yeah, uh, yeah, I would date a caveman at this point. Yeah.

Albie Di Grasso

I mean... I think you could aim higher. Honestly, I think you can do better than a caveman.

Portia

I think I just need to... I don't know, like, up my meds or something.

Portia

I just feel like there must have been a time when the world had more. You know? Like... mystery or... or something, and now you come somewhere like this and it's beautiful and you take a picture, and then you realize that everybody's taken that exact same picture from that exact same spot. You just made some redundant content, for stupid Instagram.

Albie Di Grasso

Yeah.

Portia

And you can't even get lost anymore 'cause you can just find yourself on Google Maps.

Bert Di Grasso

They own a house where they shot the best American movie ever made.

Albie Di Grasso

No, it's not.

Bert Di Grasso

No? Why not? I think so.

Albie Di Grasso

Well, yeah, I mean, you would.

Bert Di Grasso

All right, what's that supposed to mean?

Albie Di Grasso

It's because you're nostalgic for the solid days of the patriarchy.

Dominic Di Grasso

They're undeniably great movies.

Albie Di Grasso

Men love The Godfather because they feel emasculated by modern society. It's a fantasy about a time when they could go out and solve all their problems with violence and sleep with every woman... And then come home to their wife who doesn't ask them any questions and makes them pasta.

Bert Di Grasso

Hey, hey, hey. It's a normal male fantasy.

Albie Di Grasso

No, movies like that socialize men into having that fantasy.

Dominic Di Grasso

Movies like that exist because men already do have that fantasy. We're hard-wired.

Bert Di Grasso

Mm. Comes with the testosterone.

Albie Di Grasso

No. Gender is a construct. It's created.

Bert Di Grasso

You spent all that money on Stanford, he comes back brainwashed.

Dominic Di Grasso

You're just gonna go through life trying to rescue every desperate girl you come across?

Albie Di Grasso

Maybe. Yeah.

Dominic Di Grasso

Well, good luck with that. Don't expect me to subsidize.

Albie Di Grasso

Think of it as a karmic payment.

Dominic Di Grasso

A karmic payment?

Albie Di Grasso

Yeah.

Dominic Di Grasso

For what?

Albie Di Grasso

For all the shit you've done.
