The full quote was: "Listen, son. Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range then we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better — and the vile ones are viler, for that matter."
When The Old Man was talking to Sam about Mary, while Sam was pissed off at Mary, thinking that she had manipulated him into being hag-ridden for the second time.
I seem to remember JD making a comment along these lines in another thread when we were discussing women in a schoolyard fight scenario. Men were fighting to assert their dominance or send a message, while women were fighting to kill. I imagine it doesn't fit quite right, but invokes the same spirit of the extremes. JD you care to comment?
