Quotes 

  • Christine Adams : It's very simple what I want to be: totally happy; totally different; and totally in love.

  • Christine Adams : Eddie's really something special. Now he works at a bank for his uncle in Los Angeles. He's going to be so surprised to see me. We're going to have a baby right away!

    Driver giving her a lift : Oh, so you're going to get married then?

    Christine Adams : No, we're just going to live together

    [the driver crosses himself, kisses his hand, and touches a religious figurine on the dashboard] 

    Christine Adams : .

  • Danny Raymond : You hate me.

    Christine Adams : No, Danny. I like you. You're a lot of fun.

    Danny Raymond : Yeah, I know. I'm fun. I'm cute. I have a pixie quality.

    Christine Adams : Right. You do.

    Danny Raymond : When's the last time you saw a pixie get laid?

  • Christine Adams : I'm Christine Adams, I'm 19, and I'm in love!

  • Christine Adams : She's beautiful. Is she in one of the show?

    Elroy : No, no, no. Gigi is one of the most famous *hustlers* in Vegas.

    Christine Adams : Is she a prostitute?

    Elroy : No, silly. Look, she can make more money standing around a crap table than she could laying on her back.

  • Christine Adams : I'm not very hip, am I? Even when I'm stoned.

  • Christine Adams : Tommy, sometimes I envy you.

    Tommy Marcott : Why?

    Christine Adams : You don't always have to be doing something. With me, it's sort of a disease. I guess it's because no matter what I'm doing, and how much fun I'm having, somewhere way back in my head I'm thinking somebody somewhere else is having more fun than I am. It's awful, isn't it?

  • Tommy Marcott : I know the reason you go out with all those guys. Its so that you won't get involved with any of them. Right? That way, you won't get hurt.

    Christine Adams : I'm not like that. Yes, I am. Oh, I don't know.

  • Buck Brown : [gazing at the sunrise]  Do you believe in God, Chris? Or, do you think we came from monkeys?

    Christine Adams : I really don't think about it. Boy, when you look out there, there's just *gotta* be a God.

    Buck Brown : Or, one helluva monkey.

  • Christine Adams : Sure, I know what I want out of life. No, I don't. Yes, I do! I don't know.

  • Christine Adams : I'm happy. Oh, sometimes I'm sad. But, sometimes I'm just silly!

  • Buck Brown : Well, do I get to kiss the groom?

    Christine Adams : Oh, Buck!

  • Christine Adams : Why spoil the whole thing by getting married? Why don't we just live together?

    Tommy Marcott : Christine, I've been that route. I'm not lookin' for a chick to shack up with. I don't want a pad, I want a home.

  • Roosevelt Dekker : I gave up smokin' too. Bad for the heart. I try to keep in shape. That's one of the reasons I married Ann Marie. Those 17 year olds can give you a pretty good workout.

    Christine Adams : She looks like a nice girl. Where did you meet her?

    Roosevelt Dekker : I picked her up in a playground in Pennsylvania.

  • Jack Benton : What's the matter? I'm just trying to be nice.

    Christine Adams : It doesn't become you!

    Jack Benton : Yeah, yeah. Jack Benton, bastard. I hear that so often, it's like it's my full name: Jack Bastard Benton.

  • Christine Adams : There's something wrong with me!

    Tommy Marcott : There's nothing wrong with you. The only thing that's wrong with you is that you underrate yourself. You can make it! I'll help you make it, baby. I'll help you make it. Everything's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna be alright.

  • Richard Morgan : Christine, I have reached that realistic age when I must choose between fun and a heart attack.

    Christine Adams : I'll hug and kiss you as much as I want.

  • Christine Adams : I think what I've always needed is a mature man. Someone with whom I can have a meaningful relationship.

  • Jack Benton : Christine, can I tell you something, honestly? You're not that talented. You're no genius. You've just got a pretty face and a nice chest. You're an average girl. Why are you knocking yourself out? Why?

    Christine Adams : Why not?

  • Jack Benton : Vegas is here because people like it. They want it to be here. We're here because we want to be here. Why don't you go home.

    Christine Adams : And be a secretary for a 100 a week? Until I meet a nice husband, have three kids, a house, a dog, and an electric toothbrush. I don't want my life to be a cliche!

    Jack Benton : Well, what the hell is it now? Small town girl comes to big town, runs around, gets in trouble. That isn't exactly the story of Madame Curry.

    Christine Adams : I just want to be someone special.

  • Christine Adams : So you do remember me?

    Jack Benton : Sure I remember you - from the party. Who can forget Danny's dates? He makes sure everybody sees, when he has a winner. But I don't remember offering you a job.

    Christine Adams : Well, you said you were always replacing girls.

    Jack Benton : Yeah, we got openings. But er... you ever been on a stage?

    Christine Adams : Oh, yes. I did "Little Women", in school.

    Jack Benton : [looks skeptical]  Nude?

    Christine Adams : What did you say?

    Jack Benton : Did you do it nude? Naked?

    [she doesn't reply] 

    Jack Benton : .Forget it.

    Jack Benton : Look, Honey, you're really not built right.

    Christine Adams : Well was I built better at the party?

    Jack Benton : [to the barber cutting his hair]  She's got a mouth, Arnold. No, but at parties I come on with every girl.

    Christine Adams : Mr. Benton, I just want to earn some money. When I've done that, I'll go back to L.A. and maybe I'll get my teaching degree.

    Jack Benton : Good idea.

    Christine Adams : But I want to try this for a while. I mean, I've seen the shows. It doesn't look too hard.

    Jack Benton : Baby, you're right - it doesn't take much talent. But you have to be built a certain way.

    Christine Adams : You keep saying that. What do you mean?

    Jack Benton : I mean showgirls gotta have gigantic tickets.

    Christine Adams : Tickets?

    Jack Benton : Yeah gigantic tickets

    [he illustrates by billowing out the towel covering his upper torso] 

    Christine Adams : Are you trying to tell me my breasts aren't big enough?

    Jack Benton : Hey, they're fine with me. I mean, I'm an... an aesthetic guy. But these morons from out of town, they come into Vegas, they want to see freaks.

    Christine Adams : Well, in my home town, I was considered one of the over-developed girls.

    Jack Benton : In your home town, Arnold would be built!

    Christine Adams : If they want me grotesque, they can always pad my costume.

    Jack Benton : What costume? You know those girls wear nothing but smiles and little paste-ies. How you gonna pad a pastey? Lots of things you can fake - dancing, cocktail waitress, nobody notices, nobody cares. But when it comes to tickets, there is no faking. Every man is an expert.

    Christine Adams : There's nothing wrong with my tickets

    [she undoes her blouse and exposes herself; Arnold drops his comb and scissors] 

    Christine Adams : .

    Jack Benton : [after a pause]  How'd you like to go to dinner tonight?

    Christine Adams : I'd rather have a job.

    Jack Benton : Gotta a lot of spunk.

    Jack Benton : Arnold, get up here. Would you pay twelve-fifty minimum to look at those?

    [Arnold nods and smiles] 

    Christine Adams : Thank you, Arnold.
