Drew Barrymore: Holly

Boys on the Side

Holly

Robin: But this person who dumped her, she was gay, right?
Holly: Yeah, but even with gay girls there are no guarantees. They're very emotional. That's about all I know. They love uniforms and don't break their hearts.
Robin: Uniforms?
Holly: Oh, yeah, all kinds. Especially UPS.

Jane: No, we're not taking drug money on the road with us. Put it back.
Holly: Well, it's not like you can tell by looking at it.
Jane: OK, you have a point: we'll just take half, all right? And we are not taking drugs on the road with us, either. So give them back.
[Holly returns the stash]
Jane: Thank you.
Holly: You're welcome.

Holly: [while Abe munches on his cob of corn] See this is her old problem. She creates a situation where she gets this rejection that everyone else sees coming.
Robin: She just wasn't being honest.
Holly: Well, I think it's a black thing too.
Elaine: [more shocked] Jane is black?
Abe: [mouth full of corn from his cob] Yes, Ma'am. She sure is.
Robin: And you can't live a lie. You just can't.
Holly: [glancing at Abe] Well, there's lying and then there's... just not telling.
[Munching on his cob of corn, Abe glances up at her]
Robin: Big diff.
Elaine: She's a black Lesbian?
Abe: [mouth full of corn from his cob] Yes, Ma'am. That is right.
Elaine: [looking at Robin] And she was living here? With you?
Holly: No, no, no no, no no. She was just living here. They weren't like fucking or anything.
[Elaine gasps; Robin rolls her eyes. Abe laughs, nearly choking on his corn]
Holly: [seeing Robin's expression and reconsidering] Were you?
Elaine: [shocked] Were you?
Abe: [eager] Were you?
Robin: [indignantly disregarding them] Ah - I'll get the coffee.

Holly: Anyway, uhm... Jane called me at work, wanted to know how you are.
Robin: I'm fine.
Elaine: Who's Jane?
Abe: [mouth full of corn from his cob] Jane used to live here up until a few days ago.
Robin: You stay out of this, Holly. It's between me and Jane.
Holly: Well, she asked for my advice, so I told her she's anti-Lesbian.
Robin: I am not.
Elaine: [shocked] Who's a Lesbian?
Robin: Jane is.
Elaine: [shocked] And she was living here?
Abe: Yes, Ma'am.
Robin: [indignant] I am not 'anti-Lesbian'!
Holly: Not you, her.
Elaine: Who?
Robin: Jane.

Holly: Oh, God. To think it's possible I killed my baby's daddy.
Jane: "To think it's possible?" You hit him in the head with a baseball bat. He's dead.
Holly: No, I mean, it's possible that Nick is the daddy.

Jane: Why did you stay with this guy so long?
Holly: [exhales heavily] A lot of that back there was drugs, you know. They really fuck him up.
Jane: But he's a really nice guy underneath?
Holly: Well, I wouldn't go that far.
[Jane laughs]
