Quotes 

• Belle : The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a whore.

• Belle : I've never been addicted to anything.

  [pause] 

  Belle : Except maybe the 4th season of the West Wing.

• Belle : You've been much fatter than this, I wouldn't put you on a diet.

  Ben : [jokingly]  True, but aside from that you were the worst girlfriend ever.

• [last lines] 

  Belle : Sometimes it's not the youngest or the richest clients you want or the ones you have most in common with. For me the perfect partner is one where I never have to be myself.

• Belle : Escort, a hooker, prostitute, whore, I don't care what you call me. They're all just semantics.

• [first lines] 

  Belle : I love London. I love its rudeness, its lack of community, its impatience. I even love its weather. But most of all I love the anonymity.

• Belle : [narrating, as she enters upmarket hotel]  In a world of children in bikinis, the surest way to tell a prostitute is to look for the woman in the designer suit. Locate the lifts. Glide past reception. Look like you know where you're going. Walk quickly, don't attract too much attention. Be fabulous but forgettable. You should also know that this isn't the real me.

• Belle : [Talking to the camera]  You know what people find hardest to believe? That I genuinely like my clients. I'm even friends with lots of them. What other job would let me hang out with doctors, teachers, politicians, babysitters, lawyers, novelists, and even get paid for it? I'm a pretty lucky girl.

• Daniel : [customer who prefers plain Janes]  Why do you wear shoes in your own flat?

  Belle : Sorry?

  Daniel : Well, that's just it. Looks like you're on your way out.

  Belle : [smiles]  Oh, you're a fan of feet, then.

  Daniel : Not like that.

  [Belle slips off her shoes] 

• Belle : My sister is nine months pregnant. She looks like a Volvo.
