• Phroso : Don't go out filling your hide with a lot of booze celebrating. 'Cause fun what's got that way never done NO one no good. Get me?

  Venus : I got ya.

  Venus : [stops and takes a closer look at Phroso]  Say, you're a pretty good kid!

  Phroso : You're darn right I am! You should have caught me before my operation!

• Venus : [she has just been kicked out of Hercules' trailer; she is very upset; yells at Phroso, who is just standing there minding his own business]  Well, what are you staring at? Didn't you ever see a lady move before? I guess you've been listening to every word he said.

  Venus : [Phroso still hasn't said a word; she has a loud tone of voice]  That's it. That's it! Go ahead and laugh. It's funny, ain't it?

  Venus : [Phroso still hasn't said a word; her voice is sarcastic]  Yeah. Women are funny, ain't they? They're all tramps, ain't they?

  Venus : Ye-e-eah. Except when you can get MONEY from them!

  [she storms off, goes into the trailer next door] 

  Phroso : [finally gets mad at Venus for dumping on him; he rushes over to her trailer.]  Well, I'll be! Say, who do you think you are, shooting off your head? Hey, this is Phroso -- Phroso you're talking to! Not any of those thugs you've been chasing around with.

  Venus : [apologizing, soft tone of voice]  Oh, I didn't mean you. I had to take it out on somebody.

• Phroso : [talking to Venus, who is all upset because she has just been dumped by Hercules]  You ought to be tickled to death you're washed up with him. You're not so hard to look at. Give yourself a tumble. You'll make the grade. Your breaks is comin'.

• Phroso : [talking to Venus, who is all upset because she has just been dumped by Hercules]  Yeah, you dames is all alike. You're sharpshooting. You're cheap! And how you're squealing, you get what's comin' to ya!

• Phroso : [talking to Venus, who is all upset because she has just been dumped by Hercules]  So, you finally got wise to yourself, did ya? It's a funny thing about you women. Most of you don't get wise soon enough! You wait until you're so old, nobody wants ya.

• Phroso : Schlitze you're a real man's woman.
