- Andy Warhol: I wonder if people are going to remember us?
- Edie Sedgwick: What, when we're dead?
- Andy Warhol: Yeah.
- Edie Sedgwick: Well, I think people will talk about how you changed the world.
- Andy Warhol: I wonder what they'll say about you... in your obituary. I like that word.
- Edie Sedgwick: Nothing nice, I don't think.
- Andy Warhol: No no, come on. They'd say, "Edith Minturn Sedgwick: beautiful artist and actress...
- Edie Sedgwick: ...and all-around loon.
- Andy Warhol: ...Remembered for setting the world on fire...
- Edie Sedgwick: ...and escaping the clutches of her terrifying family...
- Andy Warhol: ...Made friends with eeeeverybody and anybody...
- Edie Sedgwick: ...creating chaos and uproar wherever she went. Divorced as many times as she married, she leaves only good wishes behind.
- [laughs]
- Edie Sedgwick: That's nice, isn't it?
- Edie Sedgwick: I went to a party once, and there was a palm reader there and when she looked at my hand, she just froze. And I said to her, "I know. My lifeline is broken. I know I won't live past thirty."
- Edie Sedgwick: And what would I have to do in one of your movies?
- Andy Warhol: Just be yourself.
- Edie Sedgwick: Well, which one?
- Edie Sedgwick: You are so much fun. How come you don't spend more time with us?
- Richie Berlin: Because of my lips.
- Edie Sedgwick: Your lips?
- Richie Berlin: They have a hard time kissing Andy Warhol's ass.
- James Townsend: [Edie's accountant, concerned] You're going to be bankrupt soon.
- Edie Sedgwick: James, you take life too seriously. How could I possibly be bankrupt? My grandfather invented the elevator.
- James Townsend: Then you should be familiar with the concept of up and down.
- Syd Pepperman: Look's like the country's disintegrating, lost all its hope.
- Edie Sedgwick: There's always hope, no matter what's happened before.
- Syd Pepperman: [pointing to a Pollock] Yeah? Where's the hope in that?
- Edie Sedgwick: You know, when he started painting, everybody thought he was mad. Can you imagine?
- Syd Pepperman: [of Edie] What'd I tell you? Is she a star, or what?
- Andy Warhol: Oh, I sure would love to work with her. I've never seen a girl with so many problems.
- Billy Quinn: How did a nice chick like you get mixed up in the whole acting racket?
- Edie Sedgwick: Breakfast at Tiffany's. You know, Audrey with her hair pulled back, and she's smoking through the black cigarette holder.
- Billy Quinn: You wanna live in a movie?
- Edie Sedgwick: I never saw the movie, just the poster.
- Billy Quinn: So you haven't read the book then?
- Edie Sedgwick: Well, Audrey isn't in the book.
- Billy Quinn: The book is a bit different. It's about a working girl and a writer, an artist. You see, the artist steals the girl's stories and makes a fortune, and the girl doesn't get anything.
- Edie Sedgwick: Why do you have such a problem with Andy?
- Billy Quinn: Because of what he worships.
- Edie Sedgwick: I can't take it anymore. I want to die
- Wanda: And why do you want to die?
- Edie Sedgwick: Because my credit's no good at Bonwit Teller and I just stole $30 worth of underwear at Bergdorf's and I think I might do it again.
- [laughs]
- Edie Sedgwick: Bobby, just because I let your friend fuck me last night doesn't mean he can take my silverware.
- Edie Sedgwick: [at the flea market] Andy, what do you think? Tres chic or tres fou?
- Andy Warhol: Oh, tres chic, definitely.
- Edie Sedgwick: Well, I have to watch my spending, especially on clothes.
- Andy Warhol: Oh.
- Edie Sedgwick: Well I already stopped wearing underwear. Shit! What other sacrifices do I have to make?
- Edie Sedgwick: [interview in College Hospital] My great-great-great-great-uncle signed the Declaration of Independence and my mother's side started building New York before the Revolution. You get the idea.
- Edie Sedgwick: You know those photos of smiling families you you always see on a mantelpiece? I can't even look at them, because you never know what they're hiding. A "Life" magazine photographer came to our house to photograph "The Ideal American Family". And we looked happy and pretty, but... underneath, it just wasn't that way at all.
- Syd Pepperman: [pointing to a picture of Warhol] People say he's a "no-talent" freak.
- Edie Sedgwick: Well, I mean, he's changing the way that we look at the world, isn't he? I think people who do that must have the hardest time in life.
- Andy Warhol: Father forgive me, for I have sinned.
- Priest: What are your sins, my son?
- Andy Warhol: Well, I have this friend named Mark. And, well, he buys all these clothes at Bloomingdale's. But because he's from London, everybody on the Cape keep talking about his "fabulous English look",which really is so good. He was at a partyup there last week, and Norman Mailer walked up to him and punched him in the stomach. and when someone asked him why, he just said it was for "wearing a pink coat." I know I should be glad that Norman Mailer punched him, but all I could think about was "Will Norman Mailer ever punch me?"
- [pause]
- Andy Warhol: I don't even have a pink coat.
- [pause]
- Andy Warhol: Or get invited to those glamourous parties.
- Priest: Andy, why do you come to confession?
- Andy Warhol: Well, because it's a sin not to.
- Andy Warhol: Well, I just don't understand why Jasper's are selling and mine are not.
- Lexa Spence: Andy, what do these people know about art?
- Andy Warhol: Well, they know how to buy it. I wonder if Picasso knows who I am yet?
- Lexa Spence: Ah, who cares about these people? They're so 50's, so boring! Not very chic. Very English.
- Andy Warhol: I love the English, don't you? Mick Jagger is so sexy! I'm sure he has a really big cock.
- Syd Pepperman: So how's the movie business?
- Andy Warhol: Well it's busy, but I wouldn't call it a business.
- Syd Pepperman: [speaking of Edie Sedgwick] Listen, I have met the most remarkable lady.
- Andy Warhol: Oh.
- Syd Pepperman: Old money, very old!
- Andy Warhol: Oh, good. Does she want to buy a painting?
- Andy Warhol: Who is she?
- Syd Pepperman: That's her. That's Edie Sedgwick.
- Edie Sedgwick: [accepting a cigarette] Oh, thank you.
- [being offered numerous lights from multiple men]
- Edie Sedgwick: Oh!
- Andy Warhol: [transfixed] Oh.
- Edie Sedgwick: What nice manners! Chuckie, you should pay attention to these gentlemen, You just might learn something .
- Andy Warhol: Oh wow! She's so beautiful!
- Syd Pepperman: Edie, this is Andy.
- Andy Warhol: Hi.
- Edie Sedgwick: Oh, it is just amazing to meet you! I think you're just a genius.
- Andy Warhol: Oh.
- Edie Sedgwick: No one is doing anything like you right now, and I think that in itself is a sign of brilliance, don't you?
- Syd Pepperman: I'll leave you two alone.
- Edie Sedgwick: Oh, there's four olives!
- Andy Warhol: Oh, is that really bad?
- Edie Sedgwick: Well, not if you eat them, because I simply couldn't bear the thought.
- Andy Warhol: Oh, well I really don't like olives, but I'd love you to be in one of my movies.
- Edie Sedgwick: [laughing] I'd really like you to eat my olives!
- [sticks olives in Andy's mouth]
- Andy Warhol: [partially muzzled by olives] Oh.
- Edie Sedgwick: [of Billie Quinn] We barely met. What about you? You meet people all the time. Do you fuck them?
- Andy Warhol: Well, I just think sex is too abstract anyway.
- Fuzzy Sedgwick: [to Andy, caressing Edie's hand] You know, this whole time I'm thinking, "Who's this guy, has my little girl turned around? He must be some kind of a man." Then I talk to you for two minutes and I have to smile, because I don't have a thing to worry about, do I? You're a full-blown queer.
- Syd Pepperman: [regarding Edie] What do you want me to do?
- Billy Quinn: I dunno. See if she needs anything...
- [walks away]
- Billy Quinn: I'd help her if I could.
- Edie Sedgwick: To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas.
- Billy Quinn: [Edie meets Billy Quinn for the first time, backstage before one of his shows; they talk, photos are taken, he kisses her] Excuse me, babe, I've gotta go to work.
- [He begins strumming his guitar, then blows into his harmonica as he walks out onstage, and the crowd cheers]
