Quotes

Judith : [on Stan's desire to be a mother] Here! I've got an idea: Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb - which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans' - but that he can have the *right* to have babies.
Francis : Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother... sister, sorry.
Reg : What's the *point*?
Francis : What?
Reg : What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he can't have babies?
Francis : It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
Reg : It's symbolic of his struggle against reality.

Francis : Why are you always on about women, Stan?
Stan : I want to be one.
Reg : What?
Stan : I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
Reg : What?
Stan : It's my right as a man.
Judith : Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
Stan : I want to have babies.
Reg : You want to have babies?
Stan : It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg : But... you can't have babies!
Stan : Don't you oppress me!
Reg : I'm not oppressing you, Stan! You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
Stan : [starts to cry]

Reg : Listen, the only people we hate more than the Romans are the fucking Judean People's Front.
Judith , Stan , Francis : [Murmurs of agreement and "splitters"]
Francis : And the Judean Popular People's Front.
Reg , Judith , Stan : [More enthusiastic agreements]
Stan : And the People's Front of Judea!
Reg : [Agreements stop suddenly] What?
Stan : The People's Front of Judea, splitters!
Reg : We're the People's Front of Judea!
Stan : Oh! I thought we were the Popular Front.
Reg : People's Front!
Francis : Whatever happened to the Popular Front, eh?
Reg : [Indicating a man sitting by himself] He's over there.
