• Laurel Stevens : Look, what have you got against me, anyway?

  Mike Valla : I don't like phonies.

  Laurel Stevens : So what's phony?

  Mike Valla : You! Big man expert, phony act, phony everything.

  Laurel Stevens : This just happens to be a legitimate article. People pay good money to look at it.

  Mike Valla : [Scoffing]  "Look." When I was a kid there was a little weasel who ran a candy store on Coney Island. Sundays and holidays he'd put a big sign in the window, "Free Bubble Gum." Only, the store was always closed. Next day the price went right up out of the market. I never got enough of hating that guy.

  Laurel Stevens : Maybe you just never got enough bubble gum?

• Bertha : You know your trouble? Underneath that iron glove of yours is a little old iron fist.

  Laurel Stevens : Oh, sure, when they were pushing *me* around it was just good business. Just let me start dishing out a little action and I'm "tough and temperamental."

  Bertha : They say...

  Laurel Stevens : Let 'em say. I'm just a simple business girl. I sell a funny, phony little commodity called sex. And if the customer is hungry enough to buy it, I run my own factory, in my own way.

• Mike Valla : [Laurel, seeing a phone, thinks maybe she can use it to call for help]  There's a lock on the phone.

  Laurel Stevens : Pretty smart, aren't ya'?

  Mike Valla : No, you're just kinda' dumb.
