Quotes 

• Billie Auster : [in her penthouse bedroom with Shane, standing behind him and running her hands down his bare chest as he looks at himself in her mirror]  You have the body of David and the face of a Botticelli.

  Shane O'Shea : [confused]  Bottle of what?

  Billie Auster : Just say thanks, darling.

  [she moves in front of Shane and adjusts his pants] 

  Shane O'Shea : Thanks.

  [sighs] 

  Shane O'Shea : It's really funky, but I don't know if it's me.

  Billie Auster : Darling, I don't think you realize what is you.

  Shane O'Shea : I just want to look cool when I'm out, like I'm a New Yorker.

  Billie Auster : What you are is part of Billie's Big Bang Theory.

  [Shane teasingly kisses her and grabs her behind; she laughs and pulls away from him] 

  Shane O'Shea : [voiceover]  Billie taught me how the world worked, that I had the power to get whatever it was I wanted.

• Shane O'Shea : [Director's cut scene; Shane and Billie are having sex in her penthouse bedroom]  Rhett? When did he quit?

  Billie Auster : [on top of Shane reverse cowgirl]  Tonight. Oh, I'm crushed. He was incredible.

  [Shane increases his movement and Billie rolls her eyes] 

  Billie Auster : Whoa! Cowboy, easy. Easy! Here, try this.

  [she adjusts her position a bit, causing Shane to drop his head back and moan deeply] 

  Billie Auster : [moans]  Ooh, you learn fast.

  Shane O'Shea : [panting]  I bet I could do that job.

  Billie Auster : [seductively]  Mm. Should I talk to Stevie for you?

  Shane O'Shea : [panting]  I don't know. My friend's been waiting for that job.

  Billie Auster : Do you want it?

  Shane O'Shea : [panting]  Yeah, I want it.

  Billie Auster : [smiles naughtily]  What would you do to get it?

  [Shane flips Billie onto her back and gets on top of her, but she passes out from the cocaine and marijuana she did earlier at 54] 

  Shane O'Shea : [whispers]  Hey... hey.

  [he touches Billie's face to wake her up, but she's still unconscious. He sees his reflection in a nearby mirror and watches himself as he continues to have sex with her] 

• Billie Auster : [sees Shane in the VIP basement after he becomes a bartender]  Shane, darling, I guess you've finally arrived.

• Shane O'Shea : [voiceover; he and Anita are at Liz Vangelder's dinner party on Park Avenue]  So here I was putting my Jersey moves on Park Avenue. I really believed I'd come out of there that night with some good connections.

  Dinner Guest : [to Shane]  You have the essence of Errol Flynn. Hmm?

  Shane O'Shea : [voiceover]  Instead, I saw how far I had to go.

  Shane O'Shea : [looks around slightly confused]  Who?

  Billie Auster : Darling, you know who Errol Flynn is.

  Shane O'Shea : Oh, yeah. Arrow Flint, right.

  Dinner Guest : [laughs at Shane]  You know, you are the most gorgeous troglodyte I have ever seen.

  Shane O'Shea : [not realizing he's being insulted]  Thanks.

  [he sips his wine as the dinner guest laughs at him again and Anita, Billie, Liz, and the visiting ambassador look on uncomfortably] 

• Billie Auster : [Director's cut scene. Billie and Shane are in her penthouse bedroom as she dresses him in a brown leather fringe jacket and matching pants]  I expect you to get to the center of it all, Shane. Right where you belong.

  Shane O'Shea : Okay.

  Billie Auster : [turns Shane around to face her]  No, it's not "okay", Shane. If you want something from somebody, you're gonna have to take it. But first, find out what they want and then let them have it.

• Billie Auster : [Director's cut scene; to Julian in the VIP basement after Shane becomes a bartender]  He may look like a kid, but he's the best lay in the club. Fucked me unconscious.

• Billie Auster : [to Shane after meeting Greg and Anita]  They're cute. I just love discovering... new talent.

  [kisses Shane] 

• Liz Vangelder : [asking Billie about Anita and Shane at her dinner party]  Come on. Where'd you find them?

  Billie Auster : L'université de cinquante-quatre.

  ["The university of 54" in French] 

  Liz Vangelder : 54. The bartender at 54. Oh, you sly puss! Bringing the bartender to table.
