Violet
- [said to Bellocq twice]
- Violet: I love you once. I love you twice. I love you more than beans and rice!
- Frieda: Do not forget, this guy is buying a virgin, so she's got to act it right. You've got to give him the idea that you don't know nothing. It should be like a rape.
- Josephine: You don't know. Could be a different kind of guy. Someone that wants you to act like she wants it.
- Frieda: The main thing is to whimper and cry when he starts, but then you've got to act like it feels good.
- Violet: I know what to do. Leave me alone.
- Hattie: Well, don't act like you know it all. You won't even get a tip that way.
- Fanny: Violet, you should touch him down there, you know, like it's accidental.
- Violet: I know, I know all that.
- Violet: Madame Nell says there's something wrong with you, that you're a cream puff or something. She says you're pathetic, missing all the fun in life.
- Bellocq: Perhaps Madame Nell is imagining she knows more than she does. Do you think she's having fun?
- Violet: She's as happy as anybody. Are the afraid you'll get the little casino? The clap?
- Bellocq: No.
- Violet: Well, why, then?
- Bellocq: Do I ask you questions? I don't have to explain myself to a child.
- Violet: I am not a child!
- Nell: Sold to the man with the four hundred dollars cash.
- Frieda: [to Violet] Do not give him any argument.
- Violet's First Customer: Do you want some whiskey?
- [He hands Violet a glass of whiskey. She drinks it all]
- Violet's First Customer: Well, Jesus, I didn't mean the whole damn thing.
- Violet: I'm glad it's you.
- Violet's First Customer: Why are you glad it's me?
- Violet: Well, you look nice, and you have a nice chest. I can feel the steam inside me right through my dress.
- Violet: I love you once, I love you twice, I love you more than beans and rice.
- [they kiss, and she strokes his face]
- Violet: I'm gonna make you so happy. You're just my kinda man, you really are. I'm really good, you know, cheri.
- Bellocq: [flies up] Don't talk to me like that, please. Don't talk like a whore!
- Violet: Well, what do you want me to say? I feel something inside me, so I say it. And when you go away, it hurts me. Right here.
- [clutches her chest]
- Bellocq: You're only hungry, pet
- Violet: And what's wrong with whores, anyhow? I thought you liked us.
- [he doesn't answer, so she leans in close]
- Violet: Everybody says I'm pretty, and getting to fill out soon. And all the other men like me. Don't you like me?
- [gets hugged and kissed]
