About This Quote

In the short film, What I Want from You , Adam Sandler has three women that he is trying to impress. After a series of failed attempts at making a connection with one, he ends up in a confrontation with two of them. The third woman, who happens to be in the room, gets involved in the debate and tells him that she thinks he is just being funny, not insulting. He agrees and then asks her if she is calling him names because she wants to insult him.

She replies that she is actually calling him names because he annoys her. When he asks her why she is so annoyed by his jokes, she tells him that when she was younger she used to be called all sorts of names for much less than what he was saying to her. This includes ‘tart’ for being attractive, ‘wanker’ for someone who masturbates too much and ‘shirt-lifter for someone who takes off their shirt when they are in public.

We could say that this woman was ‘stressed’ by everything that happened in her life (and probably was). So when Adam Sandler told her he could make her laugh without insulting her, it made her feel good to hear it because it gave her hope that maybe things will get better for her someday.
