Quotes 

  • Lila Crane : [to her rival photo girl]  I could make more money for Les snapping pictures than you could trapping furs in a checkroom.

  • Lila Crane : I couldn't get anyone up there to look at my pictures even upside down. And they're good.

    Russell Bassett : Yeah. They're very good.

    Lila Crane : So.

    Russell Bassett : So what you need is a hot news shot. Love crazed killer runs amok. Man attempts suicide leap from the empire State.

    Lila Crane : Or me diving in the nude from Brooklyn Bridge.

    Russell Bassett : Well that really would be a hot news shot. Let me know where you live. Something might turn up.

    Lila Crane : I'm sure. You would. Don't call me, I'll call you.

  • Lily Krenshka : Let go of me! I don't like being hustled by the fat hands of the law! I didn't do anything wrong.

  • Lily Krenshka : One more bum rap for Lily Krenshka.

    Max West : Since when has life been noted for its fairness.

  • Max West : I could you use you for posing.

    Lily Krenshka : What kind?

    Max West : Not that kind. Bathing suit art. Strictly for tourists. Pays four dollars an hour.

    Lily Krenshka : Just for wearing a bathing suit?

    Max West : No. For lookin' as if you're never intendin' to swim in it. Try one of those on for size.

  • Lily Krenshka : It's a pretty good racket for a dame.

    Max West : It isn't a racket. It's hard work. It takes years of experience.

    Lily Krenshka : And sex is no handicap.

  • Max West : It can only see what you want it to see. It can even change that slum where you were raised by exposing it. Don't forget that - Lila.

    Lily Krenshka : Lila?

    Max West : Lila Crane. More elegant than Lily Krenshka. Lila Crane. It's a fine ring: Photos by Lila.

  • Max West : Lily, did you ever hear of hellfire?

    Lily Krenshka : Hear about it? I lived it!

  • Russell Bassett : Come on.

    Lila Crane : Where are you going?

    Russell Bassett : You want to use a darkroom don't you?

  • Lila Crane : I guess I better hunt up another place.

    Russell Bassett : Well, there's my hotel.

  • Jasan's Studio Photographer : You need a few pointers. I tell you what, come around tonight around closing time. I'll - show you the angles.

    Lila Crane : Don't look now, mister, but your angles are showing!

  • Renee : Some night, one of these guys you promise to meet is gonna give you a rough time. Oh, I'd like to see that.

    Lila Crane : Why don't you promise to meet some of them? Or doesn't anybody ask?

  • Russell Bassett : If you be a good girl I'll buy you breakfast in the morning.

    Lila Crane : I'll be good.

  • Les Bauer : You're fired, as of now.

    Renee : Glad to! Another girl can't make a living with this - beetle around!

    [exits] 

    Lila Crane : Did you hear what she called me? I'm sorry, Les.

    Les Bauer : Oh, you don't think I blame you. Why, you've got nothing in common with that kind. Nothing whatsoever.

    Lila Crane : Its just that there's so much jealousy when girls work together.

  • Lila Crane : Arm higher. Head back. Open your eyes. Wet your lips. Hold it. Jump, Freddy.

  • Roy Carver : People can get their throats cut for that sort of double-cross.

    Lila Crane : Mine's still in tact.

    Roy Carver : So, keep it that way.

  • Coco Fields : You may work out. Naturally, you'll look entirely different when I get through selecting your wardrobe.

    Lila Crane : I have an evening gown.

    Coco Fields : Come back in an hour. I have no faith whatever in your taste.

  • Lila Crane : Where there's money, there's Lila. Green becomes me.

  • Coco Fields : What do you want?

    Lila Crane : I'm Lila Crane.

    Coco Fields : Oh, yes. You're the girl my backers have recommended to me. You're sure you know your business?

    Lila Crane : I'm a good photographer, Mr. Fields. I do my own developing, retouching. I have special lens and I can shoot in color.

  • Lila Crane : I was in the midst of doing an advertising layout for 'Dainty Girl Lingerie'.

  • Lila Crane : I'm just a working girl like any other, you know.

  • Lila Crane : Isn't all this wonderful. I'm going to be on Shirley Thomas' "Phone Call to a Personality" in 20 minutes. And it's the most important daytime show in New York. Shirley hates my incise; but, she's been angling for a TV evening spot from the Club Coco and she knows how I stand with Coco, so...

  • Max West : What are you doing Lila?

    Lila Crane : Freezing a hot potato.

  • Russell Bassett : Can you cook?

    Lila Crane : Maybe with a can opener.

  • Lila Crane : [on the phone]  I think it would be better if we met at a public place, don't you? Say, the 46th Street Automat?

  • Roy Carver : Look, honey. Let's not trip over our ethics.

    Lila Crane : Good night, Roy. The picture's not for sale.

    Roy Carver : Have all those flash bulbs gone to your head? Do you know what that picture's worth?
