Quotes 

• Belinda Keaton : Franklin once told me that he wanted to be buried in his car.

  Chuck Lumley : We don't do that.

  Belinda Keaton : Oh.

  Chuck Lumley : You'll probably have to call the funeral home or the department of motor vehicles.

• Belinda Keaton : [Belinda is at the morgue to identify her pimp's body]  Oh, Christ.

  Sgt. Averbach : Do you recognize this man as Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jones?

  Belinda Keaton : Yes.

  Sgt. Averbach : What was your, uh, relationship with the deceased?

  Belinda Keaton : He was my Avon lady.

  Sgt. Averbach : Ah, give me a break!

  Belinda Keaton : Oh give *me* a break! You think this is a thrilling morning for me? Huh? Eat an Egg McMuffin, look at a dead guy.

• Belinda Keaton : Bill, Bill, are you all right? Did you break anything, Bill?

  Bill Blazejowski : I caught an updraft.

  Chuck Lumley : Are you ok?

  Bill : Yeah, I'm all right, don't worry, I'm all right, fortunately the ground broke my fall.

• Chuck : Did you ever see the movie "Klute"?

  Belinda Keaton : What?

  Chuck : The movie with Jane Fonda; "Klute".

  Belinda Keaton : No, I don't think so.

  Chuck : She plays a call girl, and she's with this guy, a customer. And they're doing it, and she's screaming and moaning as if its like the end of the world for her. And then right in the middle, when the guy's not looking, she looks at her watch. And you just know it's an act.

  Belinda Keaton : Hey, I don't wear a watch.

  [kiss] 

• Sgt. Averbach : Now can you tell me who sent him to Pimp Heaven?

  Belinda Keaton : Oh, sure! Now can you kiss my ass?

  Sgt. Averbach : For how much?

• Belinda Keaton : I have to talk to you.

  Chuck : What about?

  Belinda Keaton : About this.

  [long kiss] 

  Chuck : You're a very good talker.

  [long kiss] 

  Belinda Keaton : Mmm. Mmm.

  [panting] 

  Belinda Keaton : Chuck...

  Chuck : Huh?

  Belinda Keaton : The zipper's on the side, honey.

  Chuck : The side?

• Chuck : [elevator door opens; Chuck sees Belinda lying on the elevator floor]  Oh my God. Did you fall down? Did somebody hit you?

  Belinda Keaton : Other way round. Somebody hit me and then I fell down.

• Belinda Keaton : Why don't you go back inside. I'll be right in. Okay? Go - play with your rope.

• Chuck : It's a sick world.

  Belinda Keaton : Yeah, thank God.

• Belinda Keaton : Everybody's lookin' for a new way to do it. A guy once took me up in a helicopter... had me do it with him as we hovered over his ex-wife's house.

  Chuck : No.

  Belinda Keaton : Yeah! Don't you ever fantasize different ways you wanna do it?

• Chuck : I can't get over the fact that you didn't quit.

  Belinda Keaton : Right! I didn't quit! Did you quit?

  Chuck : I'm not a whore!

  Belinda Keaton : No, you're a pimp.

  Bill : I'm cold!

  [Chuck gives Bill his jacket] 

  Bill : Hey, Chuck, here you go. Microwave clothing. Listen to this!

  Chuck : Yeah?

  Bill : That way you can stay warm and bake a potato in your pants.

  Chuck : I think you can do better than that.

  Belinda Keaton : Baked potato. I could kill for a baked potato.

  Bill : Let's eat!

• Belinda Keaton : We are all yours, Chuck!
