Quotes15

  • William Ashton: Where do you usually sail, Mr Tyler?
  • Tommy Tyler: Close to the wind.
  • Spring Tyler: Too close, if you ask me.
  • Tommy Tyler: Nobody asked you.
  • Spring Tyler: Seems to me you're always doing things without thinking, Ashton - wearing pajamas... kissing...
  • William Ashton: Hasn't anybody ever kissed you?
  • Spring Tyler: You did. Nobody else would dare.
  • William Ashton: What do I do with these rags?
  • Spring Tyler: Those aren't rags. They're my clothes.
  • William Ashton: Sleeping in pajamas is something people do without even thinking about it. That's all there is to it. People sleep in pajamas.
  • Spring Tyler: I don't.
  • William Ashton: Isn't anybody going to tell me what's going on?
  • Spring Tyler: Not now. You'll find out soon enough.
  • William Ashton: That's what I'm afraid of.
  • [referring to the copy of Les Miserables Ashton is reading]
  • William Ashton: You've read it?
  • Spring Tyler: Uh-huh, a long time ago. Why do you seem so surprised? I'm not ignorant!
  • Spring Tyler: You don't catch me painting myself up, do you? Wearing all kinds of hooks and straps and pumping perfume all over me enough to make a pig sick of the smell.
  • William Ashton: That's not all there is to being a girl.
  • Spring Tyler: Well it's enough to turn *me* against it.
  • William Ashton: You still angry with me?
  • Spring Tyler: Nope. I get over things fast; especially people and other diseases.
  • William Ashton: You don't think much of people, do you?
  • Spring Tyler: I don't know many of them. But if the ones I don't know are like the ones I know, then I don't want to know the ones I don't know.
  • William Ashton: I doubt he's having a very good time over there.
  • Spring Tyler: You don't know him. When he's having the worst time, that's when he's having the best.
  • Spring Tyler: What are you thinking so hard about?
  • William Ashton: You really want to know?
  • Spring Tyler: You tell me what it is, and I'll tell you if I want to know.
  • William Ashton: Will you do me a big favor Spring?
  • Spring Tyler: What?
  • William Ashton: Stop calling me Ashton.
  • Spring Tyler: What am I supposed to call you?
  • William Ashton: Everybody else calls me Bill.
  • Spring Tyler: Alright, I'll call you William.
  • William Ashton: [chagrined] Thank you. Goodnight Spring.
  • Spring Tyler: Goodnight Ashton.
  • William Ashton: I don't know what you're thinking, but I can assure you...
  • Tommy Tyler: You don't have to assure me of nothing. I know Springer.
  • Spring Tyler: Did you mean it when you said I'm not the worst looking thing you ever saw?
  • William Ashton: I think you're beautiful.
  • Spring Tyler: When you get home, I guess you'll start right in sending people off to prison?
  • William Ashton: I'm not that kind of lawyer.
  • Spring Tyler: I didn't know there was but one kind. You mean there are good ones, too?
