Unless that "B" stands for Barry Manilow...

Kwest: Nothing can ever be simple with you, huh?
Tommy: It was supposed to be simple. You know, I actually like Sadie.
You know, she's a cool girl. Then she had to go and use the "B" word.
Kwest: Unless that "B" stands for Barry Manilow, Passion?

I don't get the problem. Come on, the girl's nice. She looks like Barbie.
She's stupid enough to dig you.

From the context, it sounds like she used a swear word.
Kwest is saying that unless she's so uncool that the "B-word" is Barry Manilow, he shouldn't care.

Oh. Usually the "b-word" rhymes with witch.

I actually like Barry Manilow, but he would not be "cool" among teens so using his name would make her a bag choice for a girl friend. It's somewhat jokey.
