Jonathan Slavin: Byron Togler

Quotes 

• Byron Togler : Are your breasts real?

  Teena : [philosophy student/stripper]  Can we be sure that anything is real?

• Jessica Green : Byron, you're a pimp.

  Byron Togler : What? No-o, no, I'm just helping these fine ladies with their finances, their clothes, artistic issues...

  Jessica Green : I didn't say you weren't a good pimp.

• Byron Togler : Jessica, oh, I cannot stop thinking about my party. I feel terrible that I made that stripper cry.

  Jessica Green : Teena. Her name is Teena.

  Byron Togler : Oh God, she has a name?

• Jessica Green : What, do you think a woman can only be smart or sexy? Then which one am I, huh?

  Byron Togler : Is scary one of the categories?

• Byron Togler : [Byron feels bad for criticizing a stripper]  I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

  Teena : No, you were right. You were just pointing out the truth. I'm not good at anything. I'm bad in school, I'm bad at stripping, and look at this sweater I made.

  Byron Togler : Why, it's beautiful.

  Teena : [she shows him the top of the sweater]  There's no neck opening.

  Byron Togler : [eagerly, at first]  I know a guy who would love that. Oh, no, wait, he's got a head.
