Quotes21

  • Christine Adams: Eddie's really something special. Now he works at a bank for his uncle in Los Angeles. He's going to be so surprised to see me. We're going to have a baby right away!
  • Driver giving her a lift: Oh, so you're going to get married then?
  • Christine Adams: No, we're just going to live together
  • [the driver crosses himself, kisses his hand, and touches a religious figurine on the dashboard]
  • Christine Adams: .
  • Christine Adams: She's beautiful. Is she in one of the show?
  • Elroy: No, no, no. Gigi is one of the most famous *hustlers* in Vegas.
  • Christine Adams: Is she a prostitute?
  • Elroy: No, silly. Look, she can make more money standing around a crap table than she could laying on her back.
  • Buck Brown: [gazing at the sunrise] Do you believe in God, Chris? Or, do you think we came from monkeys?
  • Christine Adams: I really don't think about it. Boy, when you look out there, there's just *gotta* be a God.
  • Buck Brown: Or, one helluva monkey.
  • Christine Adams: It's very simple what I want to be: totally happy; totally different; and totally in love.
  • Danny Raymond: You hate me.
  • Christine Adams: No, Danny. I like you. You're a lot of fun.
  • Danny Raymond: Yeah, I know. I'm fun. I'm cute. I have a pixie quality.
  • Christine Adams: Right. You do.
  • Danny Raymond: When's the last time you saw a pixie get laid?
  • Christine Adams: I'm Christine Adams, I'm 19, and I'm in love!
  • Christine Adams: I'm not very hip, am I? Even when I'm stoned.
  • Christine Adams: Tommy, sometimes I envy you.
  • Tommy Marcott: Why?
  • Christine Adams: You don't always have to be doing something. With me, it's sort of a disease. I guess it's because no matter what I'm doing, and how much fun I'm having, somewhere way back in my head I'm thinking somebody somewhere else is having more fun than I am. It's awful, isn't it?
  • Tommy Marcott: I know the reason you go out with all those guys. Its so that you won't get involved with any of them. Right? That way, you won't get hurt.
  • Christine Adams: I'm not like that. Yes, I am. Oh, I don't know.
  • Christine Adams: Sure, I know what I want out of life. No, I don't. Yes, I do! I don't know.
  • Christine Adams: I'm happy. Oh, sometimes I'm sad. But, sometimes I'm just silly!
  • Buck Brown: Well, do I get to kiss the groom?
  • Christine Adams: Oh, Buck!
  • Christine Adams: Why spoil the whole thing by getting married? Why don't we just live together?
  • Tommy Marcott: Christine, I've been that route. I'm not lookin' for a chick to shack up with. I don't want a pad, I want a home.
  • Roosevelt Dekker: I gave up smokin' too. Bad for the heart. I try to keep in shape. That's one of the reasons I married Ann Marie. Those 17 year olds can give you a pretty good workout.
  • Christine Adams: She looks like a nice girl. Where did you meet her?
  • Roosevelt Dekker: I picked her up in a playground in Pennsylvania.
  • Jack Benton: What's the matter? I'm just trying to be nice.
  • Christine Adams: It doesn't become you!
  • Jack Benton: Yeah, yeah. Jack Benton, bastard. I hear that so often, it's like it's my full name: Jack Bastard Benton.
  • Christine Adams: There's something wrong with me!
  • Tommy Marcott: There's nothing wrong with you. The only thing that's wrong with you is that you underrate yourself. You can make it! I'll help you make it, baby. I'll help you make it. Everything's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna be alright.
  • Richard Morgan: Christine, I have reached that realistic age when I must choose between fun and a heart attack.
  • Christine Adams: I'll hug and kiss you as much as I want.
  • Christine Adams: I think what I've always needed is a mature man. Someone with whom I can have a meaningful relationship.
  • Jack Benton: Christine, can I tell you something, honestly? You're not that talented. You're no genius. You've just got a pretty face and a nice chest. You're an average girl. Why are you knocking yourself out? Why?
  • Christine Adams: Why not?
  • Jack Benton: Vegas is here because people like it. They want it to be here. We're here because we want to be here. Why don't you go home.
  • Christine Adams: And be a secretary for a 100 a week? Until I meet a nice husband, have three kids, a house, a dog, and an electric toothbrush. I don't want my life to be a cliche!
  • Jack Benton: Well, what the hell is it now? Small town girl comes to big town, runs around, gets in trouble. That isn't exactly the story of Madame Curry.
  • Christine Adams: I just want to be someone special.
