Pink Flamingos

The original quote, with slang

Babs: I'll have to change my appearance. I think I'll dye my hair another color and start dressing like a dyke.

Cotton: Me too! I'll get a crew cut.

What does it mean?

Babs: I'll have to change my appearance. I think I'll dye my hair another color and start dressing like a masculine lesbian.

Cotton: Me too! I'll get my hair cut really short like men in the military.

The original quote, with slang

Sandy: Why did you keep asking me to come back? I had another job I could have taken. How could I have gotten information about this Divine you talk of? I don't know her! You could have given me some lead as to how I could have gathered this data you wanted about her. You lead me to believe I had this job.

Connie: Well, Miss Sandstone, Miss Sandy Sandstone, you just must have been wrong in your assumptions, weren't you? I mean, surely you've heard the expression 'don't count your chickens'? Well, apply it!

Sandy: You're a real cunt, do you know that?? A real fucking cunt! How can you be so shitty to people? How can you stand yourself?

Connie: I guess there's just two kinds of people, Miss Sandstone: my kind of people, and assholes. It's rather obvious which category you fit into. Have a nice day.

Sandy: Eat the bird, bitch!

What does it mean?

Sandy: Why did you keep asking me to come back? I had another job I could have taken. How could I have gotten information about this Divine* you talk of? I don't know her! You could have given me some clues as to how I could have gathered this data you wanted about her. You made me think I had this job.

Connie: Well, Miss Sandstone, Miss Sandy Sandstone, you just must have been wrong in your assumptions, weren't you? I mean, surely you've heard the expression 'don't count your chickens'**? Well, apply it!

Sandy: You're a really horrible woman, do you know that? A really really horrible woman! How can you be so terrible to people? How can you tolerate yourself?

Connie: I guess there are just two kinds of people, Miss Sandstone: my kind of people, and annoying idiots. It's rather obvious which category you fit into. Have a nice day.

Sandy: I'm pointing my middle finger at you as a sign of disrespect, hateful woman!

**"Don't count your chickens until they've hatched" = You don't really have something until it's in your hand.
