Richard Gere credited as playing...
Edward Lewis
- [after negotiating three thousand dollars]
- Vivian: I would have stayed for two thousand.
- Edward Lewis: I would have paid four.
- Vivian: People put you down enough, you start to believe it.
- Edward Lewis: I think you are a very bright, very special woman.
- Vivian: The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?
- Edward Lewis: You can't charge me for directions.
- Vivian: I can do anything I want to, baby. I ain't lost.
- Old Lady at Opera: Did you enjoy the opera, dear?
- Vivian: Oh, it was so good, I almost peed my pants!
- Old Lady at Opera: What?
- Edward Lewis: She said she liked it better than Pirates of Penzance.
- Edward Lewis: I think we both know that she's not my niece.
- Barney: Of course.
- Edward Lewis: The reason I know that is that I'm an only child.
- Edward Lewis: [he's said that he has arranged for her to have an apartment, to have a car, and money.] I have to go now. I want you to understand, I heard everything you said. This is all I'm capable of right now. It's a very big step for me.
- Vivian: [sardonic] I know. It's a really good offer for a girl like me.
- Edward Lewis: I've never treated you like a prostitute.
- [he walks away]
- Vivian: [softly, he doesn't hear] You just did.
- Edward Lewis: So what happened after he climbed up the tower and rescueed her?
- Vivian: She rescues him right back.
- [after meeting Vivian]
- Elizabeth Stuckey: She's sweet, Edward. Where ever did you find her?
- Edward Lewis: 976-BABE.
- Edward Lewis: People's reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic; they either love it or they hate it. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don't, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul.
- Vivian: That would make you... a lawyer.
- Edward Lewis: A lawyer?
- Vivian: Mm-hm.
- Edward Lewis: Makes you think I'm a lawyer?
- Vivian: You got that, uh, sharp, useless look about you.
- Vivian: Baby, I'm gonna treat you so nice, you're never gonna wanna let me go.
- Edward Lewis: Three thousand for six days, and, Vivian, I will let you go.
- [he goes out and closes the door]
- Vivian: [smiles and says very quietly:] But I'm here now.
- [then gleefully jumps onto the bed]
- Vivian: Let's watch old movies all night. We'll just veg out in front of the TV.
- Edward Lewis: Veg out?
- Vivian: Yeah. Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli.
- Edward Lewis: Look, I'll tell ya what. I'll be back. We'll do broccoli tomorrow.
- Edward Lewis: You all right?
- Vivian: I'm fine.
- Edward Lewis: "Fine." Well, that's good. Seven "fine"s since we left the match. Can I have another word, please?
- Vivian: ASSHOLE! THERE'S a "word!"
- Edward Lewis: I think I liked "fine" better.
- Mr. Hollister: Exactly how obscene an amount of money were you talking about? Just profane or really offensive?
- Edward Lewis: Really offensive.
- Mr. Hollister: I like him so much.
- Edward Lewis: It's just that, uh, very few people surprise me.
- Vivian: Yeah, well, you're lucky. Most of 'em shock the hell outta me.
- Vivian: [sitting at a table, naked, and only wearing a tie] How was your day, dear?
- Edward Lewis: Nice tie.
- Vivian: I got it for you.
