Quotes 

• Charlie Paradise : Have you ever noticed how a "No" in French sounds better than a "Yes" in any other language?

• Oliver Weems : I'm Oliver Weems. This is Gloria.

  Charlie Paradise : Gloria Weems?

  Gloria : Gloria... something else.

• Oliver Weems : I've always wanted to meet one of those eccentric painters.

  Charlie Paradise : Are you interested in his paintings, Mr. Weems, or in his state of mind?

• Charlie Paradise : You know what Flute was getting at, what his paintings meant.

  Plotkin : Aren't they obvious? He was a surrealist, expressing his imagination without any conscience control, flinging his fantasies onto the canvas in a desperate attempt to astound himself.

  Charlie Paradise : What was his fantasy? What did he see?

  Plotkin : Inversion! Nature in reverse. Dead things alive; living things dead.
