- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [leaving his guest stranded to fend for himself as he comes down to interview girlfriend] Hello?
- [in French, causing a deer-in-the-headlights startled look from her]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: What? Pussycat got your tongue?
- Tina Menzhal: [uncomfortably] I'm sorry, I don't speak French.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [in her language now:] Nobody's perfect. But I think you are very close.
- [audience loves this]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: I saw you coming in with this guy. Is he your boyfriend?
- Tina Menzhal: I can't talk.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [in French, to audience:] She can't talk. The plot thickens, let's unravel this mystery.
- [leads panicking girl to the stage, clowning along the way]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Why don't you have a seat? Merci.
- [to his abandoned guest, in French:]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Okay, Philippe, that monologue must have exhausted you. Go sit in my chair, it's much more comfortable.
- [in effect, shooing him out of the way, with the pretty girl all to himself]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Go. Thanks.
- [to her:]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: So, are you ashamed of this man? Is there a dark secret you wish to share with us?
- Tina Menzhal: Well, I'm not supposed to be seen with him.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Why? Because he is too old for you?
- Philippe Gascon: [in French:] Thanks a lot!
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [in French:] Don't mention it!
- Tina Menzhal: Well, it's like, if other photographers knew I was with him, they wouldn't hire me.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: We won't tell.
- Tina Menzhal: Yeah, right. Now the whole world knows.
- [gesturing at Philippe]
- Tina Menzhal: Look at him. He's laughing. I'm toast. They're gonna send me back to Cornwall, thank you very much.
- Philippe Gascon: Come on, you're going to Paris.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Paris? Paris, France? My God. But, you don't speak French.
- Tina Menzhal: I know a few words.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Say one.
- Tina Menzhal: [delightfully naïve] I can't. They're all dirty words, I think.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [in French, to Philippe:] You taught her smut?
- Philippe Gascon: [in French, laughing:] You gotta start somewhere.
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [in French:] You pervert.
- Tina Menzhal: I know this one... Vicieuse. He likes it when I am vicieuse, or...
- [tries in French:]
- Tina Menzhal: And also, 'slut.'
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: [in French, theatrical, to audience, who is lapping it up:] Is it me, or is it really getting hot in here? I'm gonna pass out. I need some water. Be right with you.
- [drinks from glass, she looks at him, butter won't melt in her mouth, audience loves this]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Do you know some other words?
- [audience laughter grows]
- Montreal Talk-Show Host: Please speak French to me!
- Tina Menzhal: [re France] I hate this fucking country, do you hear? I hate it! I'm flying the *fuck* out of here this afternoon if I have to turn tricks to pay for my fucking ticket!
- Tina Menzhal: [reunited with her father, on live TV, tearfully:] It was never gonna be his fault. It's always the coaches, the other players...
- Tina's Father: You try it.
- Tina Menzhal: ... getting married too young...
- Tina's Father: Very easy for you to say!
- Tina Menzhal: ... never wanted children...
- Tina's Father: I didn't have the chances you have!
- Tina Menzhal: [yells] Chances?
- Tina's Father: Yes, chances!
- Tina Menzhal: Getting slapped around by a drunk?
- Tina's Father: [yells] Shut up!
- Tina Menzhal: [yells] Fuck you!
- Tina's Father: [at the interviewer] See?
- Tina Menzhal: [with bruised eye, talking about her failed relationship with indicted restauranteur Barry] What can I say? It was fun. It was all fun until it wasn't fun anymore.
- Tina Menzhal: [in taxi, tearfully sobbing after the debacle with her father on live TV:] Nobody knows... I'm walking around with this hole in my heart. Nobody sees it. Nobody gives a shit about me!
- [sobs]
- Barry Levine: [old guy enthralled by his young lover, obviously doomed relationship] Look at her.
- [beautiful Tina's, in fact, being chatted up on the beach by young stud]
- Barry Levine: Can you see her?
- [sighs]
- Barry Levine: She's so fucking beautiful.
- [smiles proudly, stressed out, takes a sip from drink]
- Barry Levine: You don't know how beautiful she is. She slides in bed with you naked, you wanna die. It just fucking kills you.
- [close-up of her angelic face]
- Barry Levine: You walk into a room with her, every man, every woman wants her. President of the United States wants to do her.
- [takes another sip of his drink]
