When Sebastian suspects that the US President is having an affair with the French Prime Minister, he becomes increasingly jealous despite the assurances nothing is going on between the two. Or is there?

- Marjorie Dawes

Marjorie Dawes unleashes hell on overweight American laydees.

Marjorie is notoriously rude to those she is trying to help including Rosie (Rosie O'Donnell) whom she introduces by saying, "You had your own show until Ellen DeGeneres took your slot." Then there is this exchange as Rosie tells her story of struggling with her weight when Marjorie asks Rosie, "Are you fat because you're a lesbian or are you a lesbian because you're fat and couldn't get a man?" At another point, Rosie rips into Marjorie for being so rude, prompting Marjorie to reply, "I'm disgusting? At least I don't lick another woman's ******."
