Don’t understand this, but then again I’m glad I’m a Gamma.

There's a great snippet in the movie when Keir Dullea, an Alpha, makes a snide comment about a Gamma's intellect. The male Gamma objects and says
"We're not too stupid
and we're not too bright
To be a Gamma
Is to be just right."

And the guy sounds just So Proud.

Found it - by real life husband and wife actors, Beatrice Colen and Patrick Cronin. Yeah, I know, trivia, but they did such a good job.

Gamma pride
