- Ali Rose: Morning! Coffee?
- Jack: Black. Like my soul.
- Ali Rose: I took the liberty of making breakfast. I hope you don't mind. It's the least I could do.
- Jack: Smells great.
- Ali Rose: [referring to photo at kitchen counter] She's pretty. Your sister?
- Jack: Fiancée.
- Ali Rose: You're straight?
- Jack: You thought I was gay?
- Ali Rose: Yeah.
- Jack: Wait, why?
- Ali Rose: I don't know. The day bed... the eyeliner...
- Jack: It's a very straight look. You know, it works at the club, Tess loves it...
- Ali Rose: Okay. I should put on some pants.
- Jack: Probably.
- Ali Rose: Oh wow... L.A. looks gorgeous from up here.
- Marcus: That view cost me three times what the house did. See that strip mall down there?
- Ali Rose: You own that too?
- Marcus: No. I own everything above it.
- Ali Rose: There is nothing above it.
- Marcus: Exactly.
- Ali Rose: [sardonically] So you own air.
- Marcus: Air rights. The guy that owns the strip mall ran into some money issues, almost had to sell. Whoever he sold it to would've put up a huge tower. So I bought the air rights. Now, no one can ever build above one storey.
- Ali Rose: Well, aren't you clever.
- Marcus: Mall guy gets to keep his property, I get to keep the second best view in L.A.
- Ali Rose: What's the first?
- Marcus: [gazes silently and steadily at Ali, while sipping wine]
- Ali Rose: [rolls eyes] Ugh... How many girls have you used that line on?
- Marcus: None ever who called me on it.
- Nikki: [Waiting for Tess as she is exiting the club] Tess, we need to talk.
- Tess: No.
- Nikki: Yes!
- Tess: I'm tired, Nikki.
- Nikki: Well, then you can just listen. We built this club together and, and then, some girl just shows up from out of nowhere, who hasn't even paid her dues - -!
- Tess: How do you know what dues she's paid? This chick doesn't sing that way because she's had it easy.
- Nikki: "They don't come to here us sing, Nikki"! Or... or, or, is that... is that just bullshit, now?
- Tess: You know, you're drunk. Go inside and call a cab.
- Nikki: I WILL NOT BE UPSTAGED BY SOME SLUT WITH MUTANT LUNGS!
- Tess: Then leave!
- Nikki: [Gasps] You'd ruin our friendship over some girl you barely know? So much for loyalty!
- Tess: Since when did you know anything about loyalty? How many Goddamn times have I peeled you off the sidewalk? How many blackouts? How many times have I held your head over the toilet bowl while you threw up everything, but your memories?
- Nikki: OKAY FINE! But I will not stand in the back, Tess, you need to fix this-...
- Tess: You think you're my only problem? I'm about to lose my club! I'm about to lose the only thing that means anything to me! I have more to worry about than trying to keep you from pouring Tequila on your Cheerios!
- Nikki: Fine. Fine. I QUIT!
- Tess: I'm glad!
- [Nikki gets into her car and starts the engine]
- Tess: Nikki, don't drive.
- Nikki: By the way, I slept with Vince the night after your honeymoon.
- [She makes a U-Turn and begins driving off in a rage, with Tess bashing Nikki's backdoor window with a crowbar]
- Nikki: YOU CRAZY BITCH!
- Marcus: Remember, you got that balloon payment due on the first.
- Tess: [annoyed, to Vince] Did you also tell him I have a tattoo on my ass?
- Vince: [earnestly] No... it's business.
- Marcus: I don't think you're gonna get another opportunity like this. So take it.
- Tess: [after some contemplation, then firmly] No.
- Vince: [quickly, to Marcus] She means not now.
- Tess: No, no. "Not now" means not now, Vince. "No" means no. Marcus, I don't care what you're offering. My club is not for sale.
