Dr. Margo Hunt Quotes in Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989)

Dr. Margo Hunt: Dr. Kurtz, I'm unfamiliar with the academic guidelines at Radcliffe, but I would think any major university would consider warring on the United States and eating prisoners of war a serious breach of ethics.

Dr. Kurtz: Always the cautious scholar, huh, Dr. Hunt?

Dr. Margo Hunt: Bunny, Bunny, you don't have to live your life to please me. The important thing is that you're happy. And as for what I've taught you, well, listen, I've always believed that every woman should get as much education and intellectual stimulation as possible, and that she should develop her mental abilities to their utmost potential. But in your case, well, there's just no point.

Dr. Margo Hunt: Can I tell you a secret I've never told anyone before?

Bunny: Sure.

Dr. Margo Hunt: In a way, Jim is right; I am afraid of men. My relationships have been, well, I've had a lot of one-night stands. A little to drink, you know, give myself an excuse, then I subconsciously fall for jerks I know I'll never be emotionally involved with. It's all so empty, passionless, really. I guess deep down I'm afraid that there can never be any real respect or equality between the sexes, not really. I've avoided commitment because I'm afraid I'll be emotionally dominated by my lover or equally sad that I dominate him. I guess that seems kind of strange, huh?

Bunny: Can I tell you something too, Dr. Hunt, something I've never told anybody before?

Dr. Margo Hunt: Of course, Bunny, I'm glad we get to share this.

Bunny: Well, sometimes when I'm with a guy, I wish that he'd tie me up with red licorice ropes, and then spank me, and then he'd eat the ropes, and then he'd free me, and then we'd make love while the Philharmonic played "Bolero".

Dr. Margo Hunt: Thank you, Bunny, you've really put my thoughts in perspective.

Bunny: I feel better too.

Dr. Margo Hunt: The women of this jungle must unite, and I'm going to settle a score with a certain renegade ethnographer.

Dr. Margo Hunt: The secret temple of the Piranha women. Their architecture is surprisingly advanced.

Jim: It looks like a big lego to me.

Dr. Kurtz: There's your sacrifice. If you wish to become a piranha woman you must first take his body, and then his life. What is your decision?

Dr. Margo Hunt: I refuse to kill another human being in cold blood. However, in deference to your cultural traditions, I would be willing to have sex with him.

Dr. Kurtz: Forget it! You want your cake, you'll have to eat it.

Dr. Margo Hunt: Mr. Maddox. There's something you're not telling me.

Ford Maddox: Why? What do you mean?

Dr. Margo Hunt: You don't expect me to believe I'm the first feminist you've sent in to try and reason with the Piranha Women. What's really going on in that jungle?

Ford Maddox: I suppose you have the right to know the truth. Two years ago, we sent into the Avocado Jungle the leading feminist scholar: Dr. Kurtz.

Dr. Margo Hunt: [astounded] Dr. Kurtz? Internationally famous author of Smart Women, Stupid Insensitive Men?

Ford Maddox: Yes.

Dr. Margo Hunt: That explains her disappearance from the talk-show circuit.
