Quotes 

• Raven : You know somethin' honey, if I had a dollar for every time you stood in the mirror admirin' your face, I could get off these streets and retire to the Bahamas.

  Sylvia Vane : Yeah, well this face is my meal ticket, honey. I'm cold, let's go get some coffee.

  Raven : I don't know 'bout you, but my shit's *always* hot!

• Sylvia Vane : What is this? Let's Make a fuckin' Deal? Gimme the watch, or don't you see where I'm at?

• Sylvia Vane : I want it back, here's my ticket, the 10 grand plus 12%.

  Pawnbroker : You didn't look at this too careful, did ya? I told ya, the time limit was 4 months. 4 months from this day is the 4th. Today's the 5th.

  Sylvia Vane : You son of a bitch!

  Pawnbroker : I'm sorry.

  Sylvia Vane : Okay, how much?

  Pawnbroker : You missed the deadline, lady!

  Sylvia Vane : I know I missed the fuckin' deadline! If you wanna mark it up, mark it up! Just tell me how much?

• Pawnbroker : That's the way she used to look... she used to be so beautiful... now I need other women's beauty just to keep her that way... small price to pay, I think...

  Sylvia Vane : Look, I don't know what kinda crazy voodoo shit you're into, and I don't really care! But, but, but, we had a deal, man! Look!

  [tips her bag of valuables onto a table] 

  Sylvia Vane : All that's worth more than a hundred thousand dollars! Now I want it back! Give it back to me! I want my beauty back!

• Ronnie Price : Hello.

  Sylvia Vane : Hello yourself. All this yours?

  Ronnie Price : Mm-hm.

  Sylvia Vane : Mm, life's tough...

  Ronnie Price : I get by.

  Sylvia Vane : I don't wanna tear you away from your guests.

  Ronnie Price : Well, I saw you and let's just say something more important came up.

  Sylvia Vane : That sounds like a cheap sexual innuendo to me.

  Ronnie Price : Oh, I'm sorry. It was supposed to sound like an expensive one.

  [Sylvia looks over her shoulder and spots Ronnie's date eyeing the two suspiciously] 

  Sylvia Vane : You don't think it's rude to leave your date, to go make a pass at another woman?

  Ronnie Price : Who's makin' a pass? We haven't even met yet...

  Sylvia Vane : True. I'm Sylvia Vane. That's V, A, N, E, as in weather.

  Ronnie Price : I'm Ronnie Price, as in, everyone has theirs.

  [Sylvia looks over her shoulder once more and spots Ronnie's date now looking extremely jealous] 

  Sylvia Vane : Don't look now, but I think Miss Clairol might be gettin' the wrong idea...

  Ronnie Price : I was kinda hopin' the wrong idea might become the right idea...

  [Sylvia faces Ronnie, gets up close and then slaps him in the face] 

  Ronnie Price : What are you? A psycho?

  Sylvia Vane : Just playin' hard to get...

• Sylvia Vane : Raven! you're freelance now, honey!

  Raven : No shit!

• Pimp : How 'bout you, sweet thing, hm? Pretty girl like you... could use a manager, you hear where I'm at?

  Sylvia Vane : Yeah, well don't do me no favors, honey...

  Pimp : Yeah, uh,

  [grabs Sylvia] 

  Pimp : just talkin' business, sweet thing.

  Sylvia Vane : I'm gonna say this once, you touch me again and I'll shoot your dick off!

  Pimp : Well you listen up, little girl! This is grown-up time out here, you wanna have an attitude, you might need some protection, yeah... pretty girl like you, could get ugly *real fast* with an attitude. You hear where I'm at, *sweet thing*?

• Raven : Shit... real smooth! You keep that shit up and you ain't gonna last another night out here!

  Sylvia Vane : Yeah? Well what makes you think I wanna last another night out here?

  Raven : Look, girlfriend, what else you think you got the right to be, huh?

  Sylvia Vane : Hmmm...

  [Sylvia points across the street, where Ronnie is seen exiting his limo and entering his apartment with a woman] 

  Raven : Oh, well, well, well, well, well! If it isn't Mr. GQ! I tell ya, for the rich, every night's a party night!

  [Sylvia continues to stare and smirk] 

  Raven : Dream on, honey! 'Cos ain't nobody invited you!

  Sylvia Vane : What's she got that I ain't got?

  Raven : Him!

  Sylvia Vane : Not for long, she don't...

  Raven : Oh, right and I'm from Missouri, honey, show me, hmmm?

  Sylvia Vane : You check this shit out!

• Sylvia Vane : I thought you weren't interested?

  Pawnbroker : I ain't interested in them things, but I can see you got somethin' that's worth a whole lot more.

  Sylvia Vane : Sorry, old man. I just retired from that business.

• Ronnie Price : Who are you?

  Sylvia Vane : Don't you recognize me, lover? I'm the girl of your dreams.

• Sylvia Vane : All I want is a simple answer to a simple question... what is happening to my face?

  Doctor : Well, you're under a great deal of stress...

  Sylvia Vane : Oh, you figured that out? Look at me! 48 hours ago, I could have had any man I wanted, now I can't even get arrested! I'm 21 years old! What am I gonna look like tomorrow?

• Sylvia Vane : I didn't know you was a teen idol!

• Ronnie Price : D'you think it's a little rude to slap the host and leave without sayin' goodbye?

  Sylvia Vane : Thank you very much, Mr. Price, you have a lovely apartment. G'night...

  Ronnie Price : Wait! I don't know the first thing about you. At least tell me why you came.

  Sylvia Vane : I haven't... yet. Look, we're both playing games, you know it and I know it. Truth is, you *do* know the first thing about me. You knew the second I walked in the room, the second I walked through that door... I'm the girl of your dreams, right?

  Ronnie Price : You wanna get out of here?

  Sylvia Vane : Thought you'd ever ask.
