Quotes 

• Hilary van Doren : [about Leroy]  Son derriere noir... c'est formidable!

  Lisa Monroe : Wow, I love your accent. What did you say?

  Hilary van Doren : I dig his black ass.

• Coco Hernandez : [the girls are fighting over Leroy]  You know what they say? The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.

  Hilary van Doren : Yes, but who wants diabetes?

• Hilary van Doren : You see, I was offered this place in the San Francisco Ballet. I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm gonna take it. I don't care what they think. I'm a good dancer. Better than good. Maybe even the best in the school. And that's not conceit, it's just simple honesty. If I stay in New York, everyone will think I bought my way into ABT. And I'm not starving myself for Balanchine's City Ballet. Not that I mind doing the corps de ballet bullshit. I'd sooner do it out of town. I'll pay my dues on the west coast, come back to New York a star. You see, I've always had this crazy dream of dancing all the classical roles before I'm twenty-one. I want Giselles and CoppÈlias coming out of my feet. And Sleeping Beauties, and the Swan. I want bravos in Stuttgart and Leningrad and Paris. Maybe even a ballet created especially for me. You see? There's no room for a baby.

  Nurse : Will this be Master Charge or American Express, honey?

• Lisa Monroe : I love your coat. I saw that in Bendel's window

  Hilary van Doren : My stepmother bought it for me.

  Lisa Monroe : Really? I wouldn't mind that kind of step mother.

  Hilary van Doren : She didn't do it for me. She wants my father to think she cares. Besides, she loves shopping. She gets multiple orgasms every time she buys something.

  Lisa Monroe : Sounds great! I think I like her.

  Hilary van Doren : You can have her.

• Coco Hernandez : I'm a professional. A few unkind words aren't going to bother me. I know its not going to be all standing ovations.

  Hilary van Doren : Certainly not for you, my dear.

  Coco Hernandez : Look, I'm not my dear! You can f*ck my dear.

  Hilary van Doren : Well, thank you.

  [Looks at Leroy] 

  Hilary van Doren : That might be fun.

  Coco Hernandez : That might be impossible. He's not into vanilla.

  Hilary van Doren : Might be a nice change, from black cherry.

  Coco Hernandez : The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice, honey.
