Charlie: The term "bourgeois" has almost always been - been one of contempt. Yet it is precisely the - the bourgeoisie which is responsible for - well, for nearly everything good that has happened in our civilization over the past four centuries... You know the French film "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie?" When I first heard that title I thought…"Finally, someone's gonna tell the truth about the bourgeoisie." What a disappointment. It would be hard to imagine a less fair or accurate portrait.

Sally: Well, of course. Bunuel's a surrealist. Despising the bourgeoisie is part of their credo.

Nick: Where do they get off?

Charlie: But the truth is, the bourgeoisie does have a lot of charm.

Nick: Of course it does. The surrealists were just a lot of social climbers.

Fred: Is there any more wine?
