Quotes38

  • Julian Kaye: Why me? Why did you pick me?
  • Leon: Because you were framable. You've stepped on too many toes. Nobody ever cared about you. I never even liked you much myself.
  • Michelle Stratton: How many languages do you speak?
  • Julian Kaye: Five or six.
  • Michelle Stratton: Plus the, uh, international language?
  • Julian Kaye: That's right.
  • Julian Kaye: You don't know anything about this, Mister.
  • Charles Stratton: But I do know a whore when I see one. How much?
  • Charles Stratton: I'm not talking as a senator now. I'm talking as a husband.
  • Julian Kaye: That's too bad. I'm not a wife.
  • Julian Kaye: [to Leon] Who's down there? Your new boyfriend? You motherfucker!
  • Julian Kaye: Look Mister, someone's made a mistake here. I don't do fags .
  • Mr. Rheiman: I didn't mean that.
  • Julian Kaye: I don't do couples either.
  • Mr. Rheiman: No no no. You don't understand. It's just my wife Judy - not me. Just her.
  • Julian Kaye: Okay.
  • Mr. Rheiman: But I can watch?
  • Julian Kaye: Of course.
  • Mr. Rheiman: Would you - eh, like a drink?
  • Julian Kaye: No.
  • [Julian loosens his necktie]
  • Mr. Rheiman: Not yet.
  • Julian Kaye: I think i'd like my money now.
  • Mr. Rheiman: Sure. Sure and I'd like to talk afterwards too.
  • [hands Julian a handful of folded notes]
  • Julian Kaye: [Opens door to bedroom, they both walk in, Julian turns to stare at Rheiman. His wife is lying in bed naked. Julian walks over loosening his clothes] Hello, Judy. You're a very sexy lady. A very good looking woman. A very pretty woman. You'll like me. I can tell, because I like you. I like you. So, just relax and close your eyes. just relax and let your mind run free. Don't worry about anything. I can take care of you. I know what you want.
  • [kiss]
  • Julian Kaye: That's right. Close your eyes. Forget about him. This has nothing to do with him. This is just you and me.
  • Mr. Rheiman: No, no, no, from behind. It has to be from behind.
  • Michelle Stratton: Why do you sleep with older women?
  • Julian Kaye: I prefer older women.
  • Michelle Stratton: Why?
  • Julian Kaye: What's the use of bringing some high schooler to climax? Some silly teenager gets wet in the movies and goes home to masturbate. No challenge. It has no meaning. The other night, that night I met you at the hotel, I was with a woman. Somebody's mother. Her husband didn't care about her any more. This woman hadn't had an orgasm in maybe 10 years. It took me three hours to get her off. For a while there, I didn't think I was gonna be able to do it. When it was over, I felt like I'd done something, something worthwhile. Who else would've taken the time or cared enough to do it right?
  • Julian Kaye: How much is it gonna cost me to get you off my back?
  • Leon: You ain't talking money, you're talking murder.
  • Julian Kaye: How much?
  • Leon: I feel sorry for you, Julie.
  • Julian Kaye: How much!
  • Leon: It don't make no difference how much, Julie. The other side will always pay more.
  • Julian Kaye: [begs to Leon] I'll do fag tricks. I'll do kink. I'll do anything you want me to do.
  • Julian Kaye: Didn't you hear me? I said the cops are after me! For murder!
  • Anne: So, you stand me up?
  • Julian Kaye: I've got to go to the health club.
  • Julian Kaye: I made a mistake. I heard you speaking French. Often in these big hotels, you run into women from foreign countries who may need a translator or a guide.
  • Michelle Stratton: And they hire you?
  • Julian Kaye: Yes.
  • Anne: It ain't fair, Julie, but I don't have any choice.
  • Julian Kaye: You got a choice. You got a lot of choice. You can keep dealing those retarded faggots - who don't know class from...
  • Anne: Look who's talking.
  • Julian Kaye: Did you make the right decision to come here last night? Was it what you expected?
  • Michelle Stratton: No. It was like really making love. I'm not used... That's not what I expected.
  • Julian Kaye: I hear you're showing off a new boy here, Leon.
  • Leon: Got to make sure none of these fruits snatch him from me, too.
  • Sunday: This work that you were doing for the Rheimans, was this as a translator or as a chauffeur?
  • Julian Kaye: Neither, this was more of a personal matter.
  • Sunday: You're friends?
  • Julian Kaye: Not exactly.
  • Michelle Stratton: I would have thought that you'd live in a place with thick red carpet, big circular bed and mirrors on the ceiling.
  • Julian Kaye: Bordello. This is my apartment. Women don't come here.
  • Michelle Stratton: Where are you from?
  • Julian Kaye: I don't know. I'm not from anywhere. I'm from this bed. Anything worth knowing about me you can learn from letting me make love to you.
  • Michelle Stratton: That's not true.
  • Julian Kaye: He's getting exactly what he wants. You've got to do the same. Take your pleasure when you can.
  • Michelle Stratton: How about you? Where do you come in? How do you get pleasure?
  • Leon: I heard about your problems.
  • Julian Kaye: What problems?
  • Leon: Your clientele, Julie. Your rich pussy. They won't touch you. Say it's too hot. They're looking for new boys.
