Quote #7

FRANK: Oh come on, Brad, admit it, you liked it, didn't you? There's no crime in giving yourself over to pleasure, Brad. Oh Brad, you've wasted so much time already. Janet needn't know, I won't tell.

BRAD: Well, promise you won't tell...

Brad also enjoys Frank's advances, and he appears to do so with no shame about engaging in same-sex acts. His only shame comes from the fact that he's cheating on Janet, not that he's sleeping with a man. (Go, Brad.)

Quote #8

NARRATOR: Emotion, agitation or disturbance of the mind. Vehement or excited mental state. It is also a powerful and irrational master and from what Magenta and Columbia eagerly viewed on their television monitor there seemed little doubt that Janet was, indeed, its slave.

The "emotion" the narrator is talking about is lust. Janet has discovered her sexuality, and now she's unable to keep it in her pants. For a "good girl" who appears to have walked off a sitcom, this is a shocking development. (Go, Janet.)

Quote #9

JANET: I'll put up no resistance. I want to stay the distance. I've got an itch to scratch. I need assistance. Toucha toucha toucha touch me. I want to be dirty. Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me. Creature of the night.

Janet becomes crazed with lust, in a song that seems to parody Reefer Madness, an early "instructional" film that tries to convince viewers that if you succumb to a vice, it will soon take you over.
