Fred Packenstacker Quotes in Damsels in Distress (2011)

Fred Packenstacker: I wasn't just buying drinks for people; they were for cute girls. There was a perfectly rational, logical, easily-explainable agenda.

Violet: [Smiling slightly] So it *was* a playboy or operator move.

Fred Packenstacker: Of course. Transparently so.

Violet: I admire that. Drinks are expensive.

Fred Packenstacker: Normally I'd be reluctant to comment on anyone's religion but...

Xavier: What?

Fred Packenstacker: I'm sorry, I guess I'm a bit a of bigot, but I could never take seriously a religion that worships on Tuesdays. All the major religions require worship on the weekend - Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I find it just really laudatory that people should sacrifice their weekend to worship god.

Xavier: Having the sabbath Tuesday always seemed very bizarre to me.

Violet: Are you...

[whispers]

Violet: ... gay?

Fred Packenstacker: Not especially. But in another era it might of had some appeal.

Lily: There's no logic to the algebra of love.

Fred Packenstacker: The algebra of love? That sounds like the title of some lame book.

Lily: It's a title but the book's not lame at all.

Fred Packenstacker: Love's algebra? I always thought it was more geometry.

Lily: Okay, the title's not good but the book is.

Fred Packenstacker: What's it say?

Lily: Well, that while we're all perverse in our romantic preferences, there's actually this logic, or algebra to our perversity. And it has something to do with how the species has evolved.

Fred Packenstacker: The survival of the species?

Lily: Yes, and whether it will continue to do so.
