Quotes 

• Alex : [in restaurant]  What are you smiling at?

  Nicky Bailey : You know, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

  Alex : I get the feeling that's usually your opening line. Am I right?

  Nicky Bailey : [chuckles]  Okay, I'm nailed.

  Alex : Why do you want to question me?

  Nicky Bailey : I do. You wanna look at the menu first?

  Alex : Okay. What looks good to you?

  Nicky Bailey : Ah... Something light, delicate... blonde.

  [she smiles, he smiles] 

• Nicky Bailey : [after the restaurant incident]  Look, I'm so sorry, I think we should go someplace private so that I can get a detailed description of your assailant.

  Alex : [scoffs]  Do you ever quit?

  Nicky Bailey : Alex, I'm a professional, I never quit.

• Nicky Bailey : I can walk you to your room.

  Alex : I'll be fine. Thanks.

  [kisses him on the cheek, little more than a peck] 

  Nicky Bailey : Hey, you missed.

  [she smiles, her arm goes around his neck, and this time she certainly doesn't 'miss'] 

  Nicky Bailey : That one wasn't bad. I'll call you in the morning. You never know, something new might come back.

• Stanley Bronson : Hey, hey, hey, why are those women following us, Joey?

  Joey Pantangelo : Because I paid them.

  Nicky Bailey : Lock him in the trunk, Stanley.

  Joey Pantangelo : In the trunk?

  Nicky Bailey : Yeah, the trunk.

  [that's when Alex appears on the scene... while he has two pretty call-girls in tow] 

  Nicky Bailey : Alex! What are you doing here?

  Alex : I couldn't sleep. I was hungry. I see you have the same problem.

  Nicky Bailey : No, no, no, Stanley and I were just finishing up some business.

  Alex : What? Negotiating the price?

  Nicky Bailey : Hey, Alex, would I jeopardize my relationship with you for a couple of hookers?

  [long-haired blonde call-girls raises her eyes at derogative term] 

  Alex : We don't have a relationship.

  Nicky Bailey : A point I'm desperately trying to correct.

  [Alex smiles at him] 

  Nicky Bailey : Why don't you have breakfast with me?

  [she nods haughtily] 

  Nicky Bailey : Please?

  Alex : Well... I do need to eat.

  Nicky Bailey : [with smile]  Come on.

• Alex : [couple sitting down at restaurant table]  So, after I graduated I went to New York. Starved for a few years, then I went back to grad school.

  Nicky Bailey : Well, I find it hard to believe you weren't the best act that New York ever saw.

  Alex : How would you know? You never saw me perform.

  Nicky Bailey : Well, right now, you're acting as if you like me.

  Alex : [smiles coyly]  Maybe I'm not acting.

  [sips from her drink] 

  Nicky Bailey : [chuckles]  Really?
