Sadie Shelton • Sadie Ratliff
- Sadie Shelton: Do you want one of the board members to see you? They'll say you're a sniveling, hysterical, pre-periodic twit!
- Rose Shelton: I have a right to my own feelings Sadie and I am not a twit. I may be pre-periodic and I may be hysterical. So what?
- Sadie Shelton: So there are drugs for those things, and we make most of them!
- Sadie Shelton: My God it's me with a bad haircut.
- Sadie Ratliff: Bad? I paid twelve bucks for this.
- Rose Ratliff: I am gonna kick your ass!
- Sadie Ratliff: That's what the French call a bidet.
- Rose Ratliff: Well, those French must be taller than me.
- Rose Shelton: I had other plans this evening.
- Sadie Shelton: I know what your plans were, to hold up in your room and make love to the pastry cart. Now put down the éclair and get down there.
- Sadie Shelton: Oh my God, how did I get so fat? I look like a walleyed salmon! What did he use a wide angle lens?
- Sadie Ratliff: I hate men who smell like beer and bean dip... and makin' love in the back of recreational vehicles!
- Sadie Shelton: I don't see how is it that you, my own sister, can stuff your face and nothing happens and I subsist on 60 calories a day or else blow up like a Macy's Day float!
- Sadie Shelton: The most fiscally prudent action at this point is to take an aggressive posture and divest ourselves of Hollow-o-Made. It's a little backwards furniture factory. They actually still make porch rockers. Now, the opportunities for expansion are virtually nil and the buyer has offered us a most attractive price. So, you can see gentlemen, that were we to liquidate Hollow-o-Made; the return on our investment would; in fact, be... quadrupled.
- Rose Shelton: Well, the liquidation. I mean aren't there other considerations? May I make a point? I'm sitting, listening here and what I'm feeling... ah... deeply inside. I... I mean what, what it is, I. Things are just not computing exactly right. I mean I'm sorry.
- Sadie Shelton: Gentlemen, help yourself to danish.
- [walks over to Rose]
- Sadie Shelton: How many times have I told you not to talk about things which you don't understand.
- Sadie Shelton: [Rushing to the elevator] Hold the door. Hold the door! Hold the door!
- [turns around and walks away after door closes in her face]
- Sadie Shelton: Moron!
- Sadie Ratliff: Isn't it exciting?
- Rose Ratliff: Oh yeah, the noise, the smog, the crowds, the muggers, sex fiends, white slavers, politicians, it's a pistol. I got about as much use for it as a toad has for spit curls!
