A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Call Girl (2013)

AnnaLynne McCord: Naomi Clark

Quotes 

• Jordan Welland : Naomi, Elizabeth is not Author X.

  Elizabeth Royce Harwood : Wait 'till I tell mom about this.

  Naomi Clark : What? Why would she tell your mother?

  Jordan Welland : Because she's my sister.

  Naomi Clark : [horrified, as they leave]  Oh, my god. Please tell me I did not just call Jordan's sister a prostitute.

  Annie Wilson : Actually, that's what you just called me. I'm Author X.

• Naomi Clark : Jordan is not a rebound guy. He is boyfriend material, and I am emotionally not ready for that.

  Mark Holland : That is shockingly mature of you.

  Naomi Clark : Thank you. Although, if I happen to impress the hell out of him on a professional level and he happens to fall head-over-heels in love with me as a result, then I will deal with that at the appropriate time.

  Mark Holland : You know, you could tell him you like him. He's a smart guy.

  Naomi Clark : You mean be honest? I keep forgetting you're new around here.

• Annie Wilson : Don't you think there's a very good reason why the author would want to remain anonymous?

  Naomi Clark : Uh, no. She's just misguided and scared. She just needs a peer, a reader, not an editor, to talk some sense into her. And that can be you.

  Annie Wilson : Me?

  Naomi Clark : You said it yourself. You followed her blog, you're a fan.

  Annie Wilson : I-I am going to be very busy, drinking wine and-and getting massaged with hot rocks.

  Naomi Clark : I'm not taking no for an answer. Annie, I order you to bring me Author X's head on a platter.

• Naomi Clark : You could have mentioned you wrote the book before I made that big of a fool out of myself.

  Annie Wilson : Naomi, I am so sorrry. I ruined everything.

  Naomi Clark : No, I ruined it all by myself. I was so concerned with not jumping into another relationship because I might screw things up that I screwed things up.

  Annie Wilson : I know why I didn't want Dixon to find out, but why didn't you just tell Jordan the truth to begin with?

  Naomi Clark : Because I'm terrified. Jordan's the first guy I've liked since my divorce. I was so sure that Max was the one, and now if another relationship with the perfect guy gets ruined, I'll know it's me. I'm the problem.

  Annie Wilson : I get that. I mean, who am I to talk? I wrote this book so I could finally move forward with my life, but everything you said about why Author X should come clean makes sense. Keeping my identity a secret's actually just preventing me from really letting go of the past.

  Naomi Clark : Well, if it means anything, those god-awful things I said to Elizabeth are actually true. Your book is something to be proud of.

  Annie Wilson : I know. I'm starting to realize that. I need to tell the truth. Let Amanda put out that press release that Author X is gonna on TV and introduce herself to the world. No more masks. I'm done hiding.
