About This Quote

In this quote from the movie “The Proposal,” Sandra Bullock’s character is telling her boyfriend that she is using a stapler as a weapon against him. This scene plays out in a tense scene where Sandra Bullock’s character, Maura Stone, is being interrogated by her boyfriend’s boss about his secret affair with another woman. While being interrogated, Sandra Bullock’s character pulls out a stapler and begins to threaten her interrogator. She plays this scene as a silly scene rather than a threatening one. In real life, it could be much worse if she were actually threatening her interrogator with a stapler.
