Mrs. Hagstrom: [about the college] This is not a brothel.
Shelley: Oh, I’m not looking to make soup.

For the longest time I thought a brothel was some kind of soup factory, for like chicken broth. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

[After our first visit to a brothel]:
Me: “... Yeah…”
Friend: “Right?!”
Me: “I… I take it back…”
Friend: “I told you so many times!”
Me: “Yeah, definitely not a soup factory—”
Friend: “DEFINITELY NOT A SOUP FACTORY!”

I’m watching The House Bunny for the first time and the Anna Faris line:
“Brothel!? Oh I’m not looking to make soup”
is so good

I thought a brothel was a fancy soup factory. I also though the “No outlet” signs on the road meant I was entering a place with no electricity.
