* Holtzmann's whole attitude throughout the film generally counts... but *especially* when the ladies are brought before the mayor. Erin, Abby and Patty look understandably nervous, but Jillian carries on like an elementary school delinquent brought into the principal's office for the millionth time. No big deal.

Trimming quote to the most relevant bit.


-->'''Aykroyd:''' These people, they're insignificant gnats, they're losers, they have no lives of their own, they can probably barely pay for the wifi they're using. I would say you're looking at obese white men between 50 and 60 who are active Klan members or member of the Aryan Nation and there are millions of them. I'm afraid to say that that contingency will be voting for the republican ticket, pretty much that's what the statistics are indicating, that there's a lot of white racist hatred out there that's going to channel into a support for the republican ticket, maybe in the false belief that these people share their views. I don't think that Trump and Pence are as racist as the people who attacked Leslie Jones, I really don't. Trump may be saying some things to go that way to get some votes but – well I don't know.

Let’s give my nine-year-old daughter a chance to put on a proton pack and feel like a badass.

Debatable, given how Leslie Jones has a lot of skeletons in her own closet, especially in relation to doing the exact same things Milo did. If you wanna say stuff like that, then politely take it to your tumblr.
