Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt
- Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: I have a rule against eating things with no legs or too many legs.
- Andre Stevens: Oh, right, but you're fine eating something with two legs.
- Mr. Gallant: For the last time, we didn't eat your boyfriend.
- Ms. Miriam Mead: Eat it or don't. No one's gonna force it down you.
- Dinah Stevens: Adversity makes strange bedfellows and worse dinner companions. It's food, and we're starving. We should be grateful for the fruits of the earth.
- Evie Gallant: Well, steamed snake soup is actually quite delicious. It was the centerpiece of a dinner that I attended at the Royal Court in Kuala Lumpur with Gina Lollobrigida.
- Mr. Gallant: Surprised to see me breathing, Nana? They usually shoot people for fucking. Or did you not remember that when you turned me in?
- Evie Gallant: No hard feelings, darling. I want to live, and the only way to achieve that is to get rid of these ten little Indians who stand between me and that golden ticket out of here.
- Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: Um, we're sitting right here.
- Evie Gallant: It's not my fault that you can't control your carnal urges.
- Mr. Gallant: You have lived! I haven't.
- Evie Gallant: Oh, yes, you have. You have crammed ten lifetimes of failures and screwups into your 30 years!
- Mr. Gallant: Am I the only one who makes mistakes? Hmm?
- Evie Gallant: No. But I'm always the one that has to clean up after you. Let me see. Three stints in rehab on my dime. Fancy lawyers to keep you out of prison. When your grandfather rejected you because of your perverted lifestyle, I took you in. And what did I get back?
- [CHUCKLES]
- Evie Gallant: Yes, you went and you bankrupted two salons and then you snorted the third one up your nose. I deserve to live. I am the bridge between the past and the future. I mean, when those poor survivors arrive, what do they know about culture and music and art? And I will be there to tell them all about it. One lifetime of me is worth 50 of yours. Humanity may be in a sorry state, but it deserves better than you.
- Mr. Gallant: [SHUDDERING INHALE] I should have put you in that motion picture home years ago. The only thing I ever wanted from you was for you to love me and accept me. Why couldn't you just give me that?
- Evie Gallant: Sorry, darling. It's just not in my nature.
- Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: Well, smooth move, asking to go first.
- Evie Gallant: There's an old actor's adage. Either go first or go last.
- Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: You're not going anywhere.
- Evie Gallant: Are you suggesting that he is going to pass me up?
- Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: You're ancient. He's looking for people to repopulate the earth - not fill a bingo hall.
- Evie Gallant: You know, for someone with the mental capacity of a three-year-old, I suppose 52 might seem ancient.
- Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: You were 52 when Elvis took his last shit.
- Mr. Gallant: That's enough!
- Evie Gallant: Oh, no. Let her spout. I remember a wonderful lunch that I had at Dan Tana's with Natalie Wood. Natalie turned to me and she said, "Evie, you are a survivor. You're gonna outlive us all." And dear Natalie - she turned out to be right.
