jean seems a tad obnoxious to me. this clinches it (don't even need the other examples):
Jean: You know, I don't get that. I mean, they don't have problems like that in primitive societies, do they? Me: Um, I think they do, and they just don't talk about them. You know what I mean? Jean: *definitively* No.
she's bigoted. frankly, her use of the words, "problems" and "primitive" are not particularly making me want to suggest giving her another chance, and her ignorance is irritating.
on the other hand, val kilmer and robert downey jr. making out doesn't do anything for me, either. mostly because rd jr. creeps me out.
