Quotes12

  • Norma: By the way, for the record, what did happen to your dress?
  • Gloria Wandrous: Well, it's a funny thing. One minute it was there and the next minute it wasn't.
  • Norma: Much like your virtue I presume.
  • Steve Carpenter: [from the other room] Are you decent?
  • Norma: I am!
  • [to Gloria]
  • Norma: You can speak for yourself.
  • Norma: It's Gloria or me.
  • Steve Carpenter: Are you gonna tell me who I can or can't have for friends?
  • Norma: I'm only telling you that you can't kiss me, wishing I were Gloria anymore.
  • Gloria Wandrous: I hate to drink and run. To the three of us.
  • Steve Carpenter: One for all, and all for one.
  • Norma: The question is: which one?
  • Steve Carpenter: Let me get this straight. You mean you're handing me an ultimatum?
  • Norma: The first ultimatum is always the hardest. Goodbye and good luck.
  • Steve Carpenter: Gloria, don't go like this.
  • Norma: My name is Norma.
  • Norma: Just remember that suit has led a sheltered life. It shocks easily.
  • Gloria Wandrous: Then it's time it had a little adventure.
  • Norma: What're we gonna do?
  • Steve Carpenter: About what?
  • Norma: Me. You. Her. Three mixed-up musketeers.
  • Steve Carpenter: I don't know where she is. I've been calling BUtterfield 8 for the past four days. They don't know where she is.
  • Norma: I do.
  • Steve Carpenter: Where?
  • Norma: She's way out - in another world.
  • Norma: This fight is far too important for me to run away. If I'm going to lose, it's only gonna be because I'm thoroughly beaten. - If you don't kiss me, I'm going to kiss you.
  • Norma: Is she or is she not a tramp?
  • Steve Carpenter: I never liked that word.
  • Norma: Is she not the biggest tramp in this whole city?
  • Norma: Suppose you do make up your mind to marry me someday? We marry and have children. Do you want her hanging around, babysitting, maybe? Nipping brandy out of her handbag at eight in the morning and telling them the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Lecherous Bears in a hotel room? Do we keep a spare room where she can sleep off her hangovers?
  • Norma: What are you trying to do to me?
  • Gloria Wandrous: Drive you *wild* with desire!
