Glynnis Talken: Julie Winters, Glorie

Quotes 

• Julie : Maxx thinks I'm an extremist, but come on. Guys are saying that sometimes "No" means "Yes." And, honestly, sometimes it does. But I don't think any guy that's pulled himself off a crying woman has been confused for a second about what she wanted.

• Julie : So, here's the next question: If you were lost in an airport, what's the first thing you'd do?

  Old homeless man : [shyly, hesitatingly]  Um, um, uh... I've never been in an airport before.

  Julie : [sarcastically]  Oh, goody, I'll just mark that right down.

  Old homeless man : And I've never seen a social worker dressed like you neither. Kinda like a hooker?

  Julie : [shows him the door]  Thanks for sharin' that. Keep in mind that I have a job, while you have a blanket with vomit on it.

  [door closes] 

  Old homeless man : I like my blanket.

• The Maxx : For her, I could be a HERO!

  Julie : Aw, geez, who writes this crap?

• The Maxx : Great. Where the heck am I now?

  The Maxx : [in Pangaea]  So now what?

  [white hands on long, slender arms shoot out of the ground, grabbing the Maxx and pull him down] 

  The Maxx : These hands - each as strong as a man, hungry as death - they will drag a man down to nothingness. To oblivion! It's starting to fade. It's starting to come back to me now. Back to Australia. Not the Australia they teach you about in the cities - the Outback. No, the *real* Australia: the smoking caves, the gods who eat mountains, the flying dragos, the rivers of gold, the Leopard Queen taunting me, almost an enemy, beautiful and feral as the great beasts she runs with. Still, she inspires me. For her I can be...

  The Maxx : [pulls free with a swipe of his claw]  ... a *hero*!

  [fade to white...] 

  Julie : Aw, geez, who writes this crap?

  [... to the real world] 

• Julie : [sighs]  You know, if it weren't for the graft, corruption, and violence, this city wouldn't be any fun at all.

• Sgt. Ocono : You shouldn't hang around with wacko creeps like that, Miss Julie. They just had a college professor on the radio that's saying how women send out certain signals and that's what attracts these scumballs like that Gone character. Maybe I'm out of line here, but with a flaky get-up like that, aren't you worried about sending out the wrong signals?

  [Julie leans on the counter and squeezes rainwater out of her hair onto the form] 

  Sgt. Ocono : Signal loud and clear. He's in back.

  Julie : There, that wasn't so hard for a reasonably intelligent mammal, now was it?

• Julie : Somebody once said, a liberal is a conservative who's never been mugged.

  Julie : [short wry laugh]  A few years ago, I wouldn't have laughed. But today, I'm not so sure.

• Julie : Try not to get into any fights, okay, Maxx?

  [phone rings] 

  The Maxx : Yesterday, that woman I was trying to save was attacked.

  [phone rings] 

  The Maxx : It said so on the news. I should *do* something about that.

  [phone rings] 

  Julie : Spoken like a true fanatic. A few women who

  [phone rings] 

  Julie : can't take care of themselves get messed with and you ride to the rescue.

  [phone rings] 

  Julie : Who are you to assume responsibility for *their* lives?

  The Maxx : I am the Maxx.

  [phone rings] 

  The Maxx : Answer your phone.
