QUOTES

  • Suzanne: (Speaking to Monette about being a prostitute)The way I see it, marriage is much more profitable. To me it's like buying a new car. First of all, you people don't even have a contract. Then you only charge the guy according to how much he drives it. Now if he marries you, he has to pay for the entire vehicle whether he ever drives it again or not. And alimony ensures that he will make those payments, even if he wants to get a newer model. Believe me, I have lifetime security, and you're just flying through the air without a net.

  • Man: If I was to ask for you specifically, would I get you?
    Julia: I have no idea what you're talking about, but somehow I feel absolutely safe in saying the answer is no. edit »
  • Julia: No, I mean it! Not even for one-hundred thousand dollars. I will decorate a greenhouse, a hen house, and doghouse. I will even decorate an outhouse, but I will not decorate a whorehouse. edit »
  • (The girls try to tell Charlene what her old high school friend has become.)
    Julia: Charlene, sit down. We want to talk to you about Monette.
    Charlene: Oh, no. I don't like the sound of that. Every time you say "Charlene, sit down," it's bad news. Now just tell me standing up. What is it? What? What...Monette's a man...
    Mary Jo: No, but we have reason to believe she's practicing the world's oldest profession.
    Charlene: Monette's a carpenter? edit »
