Quotes
-
Willie : Until I met you, I never knew how rotten I was.
-
Joe Hammond : What's the matter? What's this? You've been kissed before...
Willie : What difference does that make? If I'd been married before, would that make you wanna marry me? If I'd been hurt before, would that make you wanna hurt me?
-
Frank Colloni : Would you mind taking off your dress?
Willie : Sometimes there are phrases in English I do not understand. Did you ask me to take my dress off?
Frank Colloni : Afraid of me?
Willie : I'm not afraid of anyone!
[Willy removes her dress and strikes a pose]
Willie : Well?
Frank Colloni : You know what I was thinking?
Willie : Probably.
Frank Colloni : You're wrong. I've been thinking lately the act might go better if I had a partner. That's all. It's just an idea.

Willie : [to Joe] If you were *starving* to death and *howling* for food, I wouldn't throw you a *rotten* bone.
[he backhands her]

Joe Hammond : [grabbing her by the shoulders] You're stuck with me, baby. And you know it. Whatever I am, we're both made of the same kind of stuff.
Willie : [she pushes him away] We are not! I'm not *dirty* like you. When I stole your money I was hungry. Whatever I've done wrong shames me. But *you,* you love to *wallow* in the mud.
[quietly]
Willie : You've been paid in full. Now get out of here.
