Gloria
- Gloria Beatty: Maybe it's just the whole world is like central casting. They got it all rigged before you ever show up.
- [final scene]
- Robert: [standing outside looking at the ocean] I used to love to look at he ocean, walk by it, just sit and listen to it. Now I don't care if I ever see it again.
- Gloria Beatty: That, or anything else.
- Robert: What are you gonna do know? Try in the movies again?
- Gloria Beatty: No. I'd never make it. And maybe it wouldn't make no difference, even if I did. Maybe it's just the whole damn world is like central casting: They got it all rigged before you ever show up.
- Robert: I know what you mean. I know just what you mean.
- Gloria Beatty: Do you?
- Robert: What *are* you gonna do?
- Gloria Beatty: I'm gonna get off this merry-go-round. I'm so sick of all sticky things.
- Robert: What thing?
- Gloria Beatty: Life. And don't give me no sunshine lectures!
- Robert: I wasn't going to.
- Gloria Beatty: Then what were you looking at me that way for?
- Robert: I wasn't, I was just tryin to see you face.
- Gloria Beatty: Well keep looking. And stick around for the end.
- [She takes out a gun and tries to shot herself but is not able to do it]
- Gloria Beatty: Help me! Oh please, *please*!
- Robert: [He takes the gun] Tell me when.
- Gloria Beatty: I'm ready.
- Robert: [He holds the gun to her temple] Now?
- Gloria Beatty: Now.
- [He shoots her]
- Sailor: If you think about it, cattle ain't got it much worse than us.
- Gloria Beatty: They got it better. There's always somebody feeding them.
- Sailor: Sure. Stuffin' 'em up good for the slaughter pen. Right down the chute and some big dumb bohunk is standing there with a Sledgehammer. Boom.
- Gloria Beatty: But they don't know it's gonna happen. That puts 'em one up on us, don't it?
- Robert: Suppose we did win? What would you do with it?
- Gloria Beatty: What, what, what?
- Robert: The money.
- Gloria Beatty: Maybe I'd buy some good rat poison.
- Rocky: I have a little notion, kids. Something that could help the show. Something that could benefit all of us and, in particular, could benefit the two of you. And at the same time give the folks out there something to get worked up about.
- Gloria Beatty: What are you gonna do? Put us in cages and have them throw peanuts at us?
- Rocky: No, all kidding aside...
- Gloria Beatty: Who's kidding?
- Gloria Beatty: What is this?
- Rocky: Tabs on you and Robert.
- Gloria Beatty: You're charging me this?
- Rocky: Only if you win. If you don't win, you don't pay. I'm not out to cheat anybody.
- Gloria Beatty: Oh, Jesus!
- Rocky: The doctor's decision is: Lillian Kramer stays on in the marathon! The doctor's assured me Lillian just has a slight sinus headache.
- Gloria Beatty: Headache. For all that quack knows she's... she's got a brain tumor.
- Robert: No, I don't think so. Only I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's different with a brain tumor. Different symptoms.
- Gloria Beatty: Yeah? How do you know?
- Robert: I saw it in a movie. Anita Louise and Richard Cromwell. That's what she died of. Anita Louise. A brain tumor. But it was different. Everything just suddenly got dim for her one day until finally she couldn't see at all. She couldn't even see Richard Cromwell when she kissed him goodbye.
- Gloria Beatty: Yeah? And well then she just died?
- Robert: Kind of. She just drifted off listening to her favorite tune. And then she was dead.
- Gloria Beatty: No pain or anything? They probably lied.
- Gloria Beatty: What do you want me to do? Run out and get knocked up?
- Rocky: We could discuss it - later.
- Gloria Beatty: That soap's a little hard.
- Gloria Beatty: I don't know if the men stars can help me as much as the women stars. From what I've been seeing lately, I think I've been letting the wrong sex try to make me.
- Gloria Beatty: You ever been to bed with a Syrian who chewed tobacco? Well, if anybody ever asks you, tell 'em there's no future in it.
- Robert: You can look right out across the ocean to where the light is. You can even stand in one spot and watch the sun come up on one side of the world and go down on the other side.
- Gloria Beatty: How'd you get out there? Hawaii?
- Robert: I've never been there, actually, but you can imagine what it's like.
- Gloria Beatty: Yeah, you can imagine you're Gary Cooper, too, I suppose.
