Dr. Slut Bunny

Dr. Mary Albright: You just don't understand! I worked hard to be taken seriously. There was a time when I had a reputation.
Dr. Dick Solomon: For excellence?
Dr. Mary Albright: Well... yes. But in a very specific category. When I was a young professor on the fast track there were things that I did.
Dr. Dick Solomon: Well what were you doing?
Dr. Mary Albright: The Dean.

Dr. Dick Solomon: Did you get it?
Dr. Mary Albright: No I didn't get the job. But I did get a nickname. Dr. Mary Slut Bunny.

Dr. Dick Solomon: I don't understand...
Dr. Mary Albright: Oh, I don't expect you to! I need to be alone tonight.
Dr. Dick Solomon: But I'm not like that! I take you seriously, Dr. Slut Bunny!
