Notes

add »
Anthony, nursing a bad back and laid up at Suzanne's house, is tired of all Suzanne's torturous attention. He makes a statement "It's like Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, and I'm Jane". In the movie, Jane wasn't the invalid stuck in bed but rather her sister, Blanche. (edit)

Quotes

(Anthony shows up at Sugarbaker's)
Anthony: I just hurled myself out of bed and down the steps, then I crawled out the front gate. Suzanne doesn't know I'm gone yet. That facialist is over there. I heard them talking in the bathroom; they're gonna inject me with collagen! Please . . . you've got to help me! I don't care what happens, I'm not going back there! Tonight is Austrian night, and Consuela is cooking potato pancakes. And Suzanne told the yardman to dress me up in lederhosen! No way, man. I'm not gonna wear those things. I can't take anymore. Don't make me go back; I'm begging!! (edit)
(Anthony calls Julia begging for help)
Anthony: I heard her talking to her facialist on the phone. And tonight, if you don't do something, they gonna exfoliate me!

(edit)
