Nomi Malone: Fucker! Fuck off!
James Smith: Now wait a minute. Listen, just listen. Man you've got more talent when you dance than anybody I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of dancers. I studied at New York... Alvin Ailey. You burn when you dance.
Nomi Malone: But you said I couldn't.
James Smith: Well you've got to hold some of it in, and dancing ain't fucking.
Nomi Malone: What's that? More wisdom? I know that!
James Smith: No you don't. You dance like when you fucked that guy last night.
Nomi Malone: What guy?
James Smith: That guy with the chick. You took 'em in the back.
Nomi Malone: I didn't fuck him.
James Smith: Yes you did, you fucked him and her.
Nomi Malone: Are you following me around? I didn't fuck anybody, I was just...
James Smith: I saw you! Man everybody got AIDS and shit. You know, what is it that you think you do? You fuck 'em without fucking them, that's what you do! Well it ain't right! You've got too much talent for it to be right!

Tony Moss: What are these, watermelons? This is a stage, babe, it's not a patch. See ya.
Andrew Carver: Black pussy!
James Smith: You don't want to be in this kind of show. What you're doing, at least it's honest. They want tits and ass, you give 'em tits and ass. Here, they pretend they want something else, and you still show them tits and ass.
Zack Carey: Well, have some lobster... Hey, did you ever hear Caesar sing? You'll love it.
Goddess Dancer: You want a knuckle sandwich?

Nomi Malone: Oh.
Zack Carey: You have great taste and you look beautiful.

Annie: Oh, you're fucking dead!
Henrietta Bazoom: The Farmer in the Dell, The Farmer in the Dell, I had a cherry once, and now it's gone to hell.

Nomi Malone: Zack.
Molly Abrams: Oh my god. Did you tie him up?
Nomi Malone: Oh shit.
Molly Abrams: What?
Nomi Malone: I forgot to untie him.
Nomi Malone: You need more pink.
Penny/Hope: Oh, thanks, Heather.
Nomi Malone: Hi, my name is Heather.
Cristal Connors: Hey Nomi. I love your nails. We'd like you to have a private dance with both of us.
Nomi Malone: We don't do that. One at a time. No women.
Cristal Connors: A hundred dollars.
Nomi Malone: Sorry. That's the rules.
Cristal Connors: Two hundred. You just do Zack and I'll watch.
[Nomi shakes her head no]
Cristal Connors: Five hundred.
Nomi Malone: [regarding her nails] Look! NEAT, huh?
Nomi Malone: I get a headache from champagne.
Cristal Connors: This isn't champagne. This... is HOLY WATER. I named myself after this holy water. Chrissie Lou Connors used to have dingy brown hair and little bitty tits. It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do.
[they clink champagne glasses]
Cristal Connors: You have great tits. They're really beautiful.
Nomi Malone: Thank you.
Cristal Connors: I like nice tits. I always have, how about you?
Nomi Malone: I like having nice tits.
Cristal Connors: How do you like having 'em?
Nomi Malone: What do you mean?
Cristal Connors: You know what I mean.
Nomi Malone: I like having them in a nice dress, or a tight top.
Cristal Connors: Mmmm. You like to show em off.
Nomi Malone: I didn't like showing them off at the Cheetah.
Cristal Connors: Why not? I liked lookin' at 'em there. We ALL liked lookin' at 'em there!
Nomi Malone: It made me feel like a hooker.
Cristal Connors: You *are* a whore, darlin'.
Nomi Malone: No I'm not!
Cristal Connors: We all are. We take the cash, we cash the check, we show 'em what they wanna see.
Nomi Malone: Maybe YOU are a whore, Cristal, but I'm not.
Cristal Connors: You and me, we're exactly alike.
Nomi Malone: [shakes her head] I'll NEVER be like you.
Gay Carpenter: You guys upstage left, monkey shit!
[first lines]
Jeff: Hop in, pard!
Nomi Malone: Where are you going?
Jeff: Vegas! Come on! This is your lucky day!
Cristal Connors: Oh, you know the best advice I ever got? You're up there on stage, hopin' on a spot. If someone gets in your way, step on 'em. If you're the only one left standing there, they hire you. That's about it. Thank you and good night, ladies and gentlemen. Elvis has left the building.
Nomi Malone: You can fuck me when you love me.
James Smith: But I do love you.
Nomi Malone: Yeah right.
James Smith: You don't fool me. I see you.
Nomi Malone: Yeah? What do you see?
James Smith: I see you hiding.
Nomi Malone: From what?
James Smith: From you. You got into some bad shit somewhere?
Tony Moss: One day she looks like Pollyanna, the next day she looks like... I don't know... Lolita, maybe.
[Nomi giggles]
Tony Moss: Nice dress.
Nomi Malone: Thanks, I bought it at Ver-sayce.
[silence]
Nomi Malone: In the Forum?
Tony Moss: Oh, yeah, Ver-sayce. I love Ver-sayce.
Nomi Malone: Me, too!
Tony Moss: Can you MGM backwards? I bet you can't.
Spelling Dancer: MGM!
Tony Moss: I'm impressed!
Cristal Connors: Where do you dance at, darlin'?
Nomi Malone: Um... at the Cheetah.
Cristal Connors: I don't know how good you are, darlin', and I don't know what it is you're good at, but if it's at the Cheetah, it's not dancing, I know that much.
Nomi Malone: You don't know shit!
Nomi Malone: Dancing ain't fucking, right?
James Smith: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Nomi Malone: See ya.
Cristal Connors: You wanna dance?
Nomi Malone: Right now?
Cristal Connors: It's now or never, that's what Elvis said.
[about Zack Carey who's driving a Ferrari]
James Smith: What is he? Pimp? Only people I know got pimp cars are pimps.
Nomi Malone: He's the entertainment director.
James Smith: That's exactly what I said - he's a pimp!
Nomi Malone: Julie saw it.
Molly Abrams: Julie couldn't have seen it, I saw Julie and her back was to you.
Nomi Malone: She saw it.
Molly Abrams: Wow. OK.
Henrietta Bazoom: She looks better than a ten-inch dick and you know it!
Cristal Connors: You fuck him for the spot? Or you fuck him cause you wanted to? I say you did it for the spot.
Nomi Malone: Is that what you did, Cristal?
Cristal Connors: You don't want to piss me off, darlin', now that we're friends.
Nomi Malone: No... You shouldn't get pissed off. Makes you look older!
[Nomi pinches Cristal's cheek]
Zack Carey: Nomi's got heat.
Cristal Connors: Does she now?
Marty Jacobsen: Yes, she does... in a totally different way, of course.
Reporter: Ms. Malone, how did you feel about the show tonight?

Cristal Connors: It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do.
