"Overeducation leads to ugliness, premature aging and beard growth!"
"Women, know your limits, in thought, be plain and simple and let your natural sweetness shine through!"
"I do love little kittens; they're so soft and furry..."
"...dear sweet fragile little thing.."
Que de grandes vérités qu'on avait besoin d'entendre redire ;)
[int. dining room. England. An old-style 30's dinner party (in b/w) is going on. The men are laughing, and the women are tittering. LSM is doing his best "Alfred Hyde-White" voice-over...]
LSM: An ordinary dinner party. The sort of occasion we all enjoy.
The men are exchanging whitty stories. And look at the women - aren't they
pretty?
Look at how they laugh - aren't they delightful? But now the
conversation turns to more serious matters...
LSM: I wonder if the government should return to the Gold Standard?
CW: I think it should.
LSM: Good. Then we're all agreed.
LSM: But - oh, dear - what's this? One of the women is about to embarrass us all...
PAS: I think the government should stay off the Gold Standard, so that
the Pound can reach a level that would keep our exports competitive.
LSM: The lady's foolishly attempted to join the conversation with a wild and dangerous opinion of her own. What half-baked drivel!
[CW and LSM are regarding PAS with utmost distaste. CW's top lip
curls up. PAS starts crying, softly, and dabs at her eyes with her napkin]
LSM: See how the men look at her with utter contempt...
LSM: P-PAS - we're going home.
[LSM grabs PAS by the arm, and roughly drags the poor unfortunate
off. a caption appears, and is helpfully read out for us by CW...]
CW: WOMEN: KNOW YOUR LIMITS!
[we see a cut-away diagram of a man's head. information is
"raining" into it, filling it all the way up to the top...]
LSM: Look at the effect of education on a man and a woman's mind.
Education passes into the mind of a man - see how the information is evenly
and tidily stored?
[we then see a cut-away diagram of a woman's head. the
information "rains" into it as before, but stops about a quarter of the way up...
LSM: Now see the same thing on a woman. At first, we see a similar
result. But now look - still at a reasonably low level of education, her
brain suddenly overloads...
[the "rain" is replaced by a frantic squiggle, and klaxons start
hooting...]
LSM: She cannot take in complicated information. She becomes
frantically and absurdly deranged.
[we then see four sad cases dressed in hospital gowns. three of
the aged women are fat, the fourth rakish. all four have wildly
tussled hair and look completely vacant, staring directly at the camera]
LSM: Look at these venomous harridans... they went to university.
Hard to believe they're all under twenty five. Yes, over-education leads
to ugliness, premature aging, and beard growth.
.
[cut back to a restart of the dinner party]
]
LSM: Now let's see the proper way...
CW: Good. So, we're all agreed. We should return to the Gold
Standard.
PAS: Oh, I don't know anything about the Gold Standard, I'm afraid -
but I do love little kittens. They're so soft, and furry.
[a fawning LSM takes PAS's hand]
LSM: What a delightful thought - you dear, sweet, fragile little
thing. I adore you.
LSM: Women: know your limits. In thought, be plain and simple - and
let your natural sweetness shine through.

Que de grandes vérités qu'on avait besoin d'entendre redire ;)
Du coup j'ai retrouvé le script sur le Web (www.ubersite.com/m/14887) :
