MANDY


You all know me – subtlety’s my middle name. It’s as subtle as the piece of skin between my vagina and my anus – ooh la! la!
(laughter)

Now what’s that called, does anyone remember what that's called, I can never quite remember ... No man’s land!?


Anatomically, it's called the perineum, but the word Mandy is most likely looking for is Taint, ('cos it ain't the vagina and it ain't the anus.) Kudos to Todd for actually having the word vagina in a film!

★ As discussed in the comments, Todd confirms on the Blu-ray commentary that Toni Collette ad-libbed these lines.

FYI for you. I attended the Q&A with Todd Haynes at the Outfest. and this part you are talking about Todd told Toni to improvise. So these lines just came off the top of her head.

Yes, I'm just so stunned by his talent at improv that I have to watch that scene over and over and over!

;D

Oh that is too fabulous! Lucky you! I'm sure the audience wanted to stay all night and talk about films with him.

Not that I doubted you, :) but Tod confirms this in the Blu-ray commentary and he seems as amazed as we are at Toni's ad-libbing.
