Dr Jake Houseman, early on in the film when the Houseman family arrives at Kellerman's holiday resort. This part of the dialogue serves to show the difference between the Houseman sisters: the older Lisa is frivolous and vain; Frances 'Baby' Houseman is serious and politically aware.

Lisa Houseman: Oh, my God. Look at that! Ma, I should have brought those coral shoes. You said I was taking too much!
Marjorie Houseman: Well, sweetheart, you brought ten pairs.
Lisa Houseman: But the coral shoes match that dress!
Jake Houseman: This is not a tragedy. A tragedy is three men trapped in a mine, or police dogs used in Birmingham.
Baby: Monks burning themselves in protest.
Lisa Houseman: Butt out, Baby.
