Men are rats. Listen to me, they’re fleas on rats. Worse than that, they’re amoebas on fleas on rats. I mean, they’re too low for even the dogs to bite. The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Frenchy piles up insults in a descending ladder: men are rats, then fleas on rats, then amoebas on fleas, too low even for dogs. It's over-the-top heartbreak comedy, ending with the one exception she trusts, her father.
