I’m sure she is quite stupid and in time, gravity will get her.
— Ally McBeal · 1997
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker dismisses another woman's intelligence and predicts that gravity will eventually get her. One reading hears a spiteful reference to ageing and appearance. The joke uses the impersonal language of a physical force to express personal resentment, making the promised comeuppance sound inevitable.
