Blanche : Fifty men, every three weeks, and they are all so boring. You know, I get asked the same two questions, five times a day, every day. Number one: Miss Blanche, how am I doin' on this course? And number two: Eh, would you like to slip up to my room after dinner?
Dr. Sherman : And, eh, what do you tell them?
Blanche : I tell them that they are here to have their potential as executives measured and that questions like that do not get asked by the President of General Motors.
