Quotes

Exotica

Edit
  • Zoe: What is this thing about Eric calling you "a sassy piece of jailbait"?
  • Christina: What's this thing?
  • Zoe: It bothers me.
  • Christina: Why?
  • Zoe: It makes you out like a child or something.
  • Christina: Unlike the tartan skirt and my socks or the blouse or the way I act, right?
  • Christina: Do you have a lot of friends?
  • Eric: Not really...
  • Christina: Do you ever wish you did?
  • Eric: Yeah.
  • Christina: When?
  • Eric: Well... like... now, for instance.
  • Christina: Why?
  • Eric: Well... I just met you. And I feel like telling somebody about it.
  • Eric: Do it for me, baby! Oh! My god, that's incredible, incredible! Let me ask you something, gentlemen: What is it that gives a schoolgirl her special innocence? Her sweet fragrance... Fresh flowers, light as a spring rain... Oh, my god, my god... Or is it her firm, young flesh, inviting your every caress, enticing you to explore her deepest and most private secrets? Well, gentlemen, I'm gonna let you decide that one for yourselves. Please join me in welcoming a sassy bit of jailbait to our stage. Yes, indeed. Come out, sweet Chrissy! Wherever you are, baby, come on out!
  • Eric: He comes in here every other night. He has his favorite drink, and his favourite table, with his favorite dancer. Sometimes he has to wait for her, and sometimes she's waiting for him, to protect him. She's his angel.
  • Eric: Mmm, what? What is it? What is it that gives a school-girl her special innocence? Is it the way they smell? The sweet smell of their perfume... , of their hair? The aroma of fresh flowers... , and all that other stuff that hasn't been fucked up by late nights and a lot 'a bad food? Is it their gestures... , and the way they move? The way their body still holds on to some semblance of self-respect and... , and dignity? When they wrap their beautiful legs around you - tight, holding on - looking at you... , you looking at them. It's just... Or is it whatever comes out of their cute little mouths? All those questions, all that wondering that... It's just, you know, you... They got their whole lives ahead of them, you know? And you've wasted half of yours away. Damn. What is it?

  • Customs Inspector: You have to ask yourself what brought the person to this point, what was seen in his face, his manner, that channeled him here. You have to convince yourself that this person has something hidden that you have to find. Check his bags. But it's his face, his gestures that you're really watching.
  • [clapping]
  • Eric: Yeah! Bring those big hairy palms together, gentlemen, have a nice big, round of applause... for Kali! Kali. Yes, indeed, Kali. And you, too, can - you, too, can have Kali come over to your table for only five dollars, where she can show you the mysteries of her world. Trust me, gentlemen, trust me.
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: Do you consider my dad a friend?
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Why?
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: Just asking.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Does he consider me a friend?
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: I don't know.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Why not?
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: 'Cause he always seems different when you're around.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Different? In what way?
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: J... tense.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Is that bad?
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: Well, I don't really like to feel tense around my friends.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Well, sure, yeah. I didn't like to feel tense around my friends when I was your age either.
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: But you do now?
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: No, it's not a question of... liking it or not. It's... just something that happens.
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: Why?
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Um... well, as you get older, you become aware that the people you meet and the person you are... um... is carrying a certain amount of baggage. And... and that baggage creates tension.
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: So what do you do about it?
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Well, you can pretend it's not there, or you can choose not to have friends, or you can acknowledge that it's there and have friends anyway.
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: Like my dad.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Right.
  • Tracey - Harold's Daughter: I don't think that I like my dad when he's around you.
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: Hmm... well, that's... because your dad doesn't like himself when he's around me.
  • Eric: I just need to find a structure. You know?
  • Christina: What do you mean?
  • Eric: Listen, I... I waste so much time, you know? It's just... my days just slip by, you know?
  • Christina: Isn't that what days are supposed to do?
  • Eric: You know, yeah... not if you want to make something with yourself, you know?
  • Francis - Tax Auditor: It is, after all, a jungle out there, isn't it?
  • Eric: You are someone special. All it takes is $5 to prove it.
