Quotes19

  • 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.
  • Michelle Stratton: How much would you have charged me?
  • 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?
  • Michelle Stratton: Just one fuck?
  • 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.
  • Michelle Stratton: I envy you. I love to travel. I used to travel a lot, but my husband's involved in local politics. So now I just practise French. He thinks it's chic to have a bilingual wife.
  • 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.
  • Michelle Stratton: I can't keep up this front much longer. I came here. I found out who you were, where you live. I came here in the middle of the night. I want to know what it would be like to fuck you. I brought money. What more can I do?
  • 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?
  • Julian Kaye: You still don't understand.
  • Michelle Stratton: Understand what?
  • Julian Kaye: Who I am.
  • Michelle Stratton: Who are you?
  • Julian Kaye: You don't even understand who you are, why you're sitting here.
  • Michelle Stratton: Why are you here?
  • Julian Kaye: I've got to go.
  • Michelle Stratton: I thought it would be easier.
  • Julian Kaye: What would be?
  • Michelle Stratton: To be with you, to procure you.
  • Julian Kaye: I told you, you're mistaken.
  • Michelle Stratton: You want it?
  • Julian Kaye: No.
  • Michelle Stratton: Good, 'cause you're not gonna get it.
  • Michelle Stratton: Tell me everything about you. Right now.
  • Julian Kaye: Oh, God. Why?
  • Michelle Stratton: I don't know. It seems important.
  • Julian Kaye: We just made love, didn't we?
  • Michelle Stratton: Yes.
  • Julian Kaye: Then you know everything there is to know.
  • Michelle Stratton: That's silly.
  • Michelle Stratton: I drove to Anaheim, then I drove to Long Beach. I pumped my own gas in Long Beach.
  • Julian Kaye: Michelle, I'm really not part of your problems. And I'm certainly not the solution to your problems.
  • Michelle Stratton: I brought money.
  • Michelle Stratton: I think you're awful.
  • Julian Kaye: I think you're right.
  • Michelle Stratton: I love to be with you. I love it when you kiss me and when you touch me, but when you make love, you go to work.
