Julia: Not much.
[Julia takes a drink]

[Julia leads her 1st victim into her home]
1st Victim: You know, it's funny. I... I feel like I've known you for years. You know?
1st Victim: [he tries kissing Julia, who is reluctant] What's the matter? What? This is what you brought me here for, isn't it? Well, isn't it?
Julia: I suppose so, yes.
1st Victim: So what's your problem? Let's get on with it.

Lead Cenobite: Supposing he had escaped us, what has that to do with you?
Kirsty Cotton: I... I can... I can lead you to him! And you... you can take him back instead of me!
Female Cenobite: Perhaps we prefer you!

Frank (wearing Larry's skin): Where are you, beautiful? Come out, come out, wherever you are!

[Larry tells his dinner guests about the hospital visit for his hand]
Larry: I'm not kidding. This Doctor's poking around with all of the delicacy and compassion of Josef Mengele. And I'm warning him, "Listen, I'm gonna pass out!" And he said, "Oh, no, of course you're not, old boy. Of course you're not." Next thing you know, I'm on the floor and he's standing there like he's the one who needs help!
Bill: Probably was afraid you were gonna sue him.
Larry: I should do it! Bill, I should - you know all about that stuff. I'll call you tomorrow. We'll sue his ass!

[Larry arrives home to find Julia in the bathroom sick]

Frank the Monster: The doors to the pleasures of Heaven or Hell. I didn't care which.

[the female Cenobite follows Kirsty up the stairs]
