Quotes 

  • Dawn Wetherby : [after Alexander offers Dawn a mint at the LA Free Clinic]  Is my breath awful?

    Alexander : Probably.

    Dawn Wetherby : Oh, well, Gypsies never brush.

    Alexander : Gypsies don't have teeth.

  • Alexander : [during a deep philosophical discussion with Dawn in Alex's seedy Hollywood apartment]  Sex and love aren't the same.

    Dawn Wetherby : Sure they are. They're both rip offs.

    [sudden outburst] 

    Dawn Wetherby : It's all a rip off! I can't even get a lousy babysitting job! Everybody wants references!

  • Dawn Wetherby : Please don't be mad at me. I can't go back empty handed. Swan would kill me!

    Alexander : Then don't go back!

    Dawn Wetherby : How?

    Alexander : There's got to be a way!

    Dawn Wetherby : There is no other way. This is it.

    [pause] 

    Dawn Wetherby : [glumly]  I don't care anymore. It was so meaningless. I felt nothing. I just stared at the ceiling and became a woman. What a hype!

  • Doctor Roberts : [talking to Dawn and Alex at the LA Free Clinic, thinking both have VD]  400 of you kids every week. 3 part-time doctors. It's impossible. Okay, which one of you guys goes first?

    [Alexander unbuckles his pants to get a shot in the ass] 

    Doctor Roberts : 8 years of study. I have not one case of mastoids or thrombosis. All I get are 12 year-old pregnants and exotic forms of VD.

    [shoots Alex in the ass with needle, then turns to Dawn] 

    Doctor Roberts : And now for the culprit. Syphilis or Gonorrhea?

    [Dawn looks shocked] 

    Alexander : She needs penicillin.

    Doctor Roberts : What she needs is a slap in the fanny. Listen. I don't want you two going near each other until you are cured, you understand?

    Alexander : [impatiently]  Are you gonna' give her the shot or not?

    Dawn Wetherby : I have the flu! Just the flu!

    Doctor Roberts : [laughs]  I don't know if I remember a cure for that.

    Alexander : Penicillin?
