Quotes 

• Winston : Stay away from ginger ale and tequila. It's a bitch!

• Winston : You know what you are? YOU are an egotistical, self-centered, little BRAT!

  Tara : That's terrific!

  [Bumps into guy on stairway] 

  Tara : Excuse me, sir. Now if you'll both pardon me, sir. Do you win over a lot of girls this way, Winston?

  [Still can't get past the guy] 

  Tara : I'm sorry, sir, we'll be out of your way in just one moment.

• Winston : Nice hairdo... you get FM on that?

• Winston : Hey, you want to dance?

  Tara : What I want, Winston, is I want OUT of here and I want out NOW!

  Winston : Why? Don't you know how to dance?

• Winston : I was supposed to have her home by midnight, and instead, I sold her to a pimp!

• Winston : Did anything happen to you?

  Tara : Well, let's see. I was kidnapped, they stole my dress and I was driven over here in the trunk of a car. Did you mean besides that?

• Winston : Hey, give me a break here!

  Tara : Gee, am I overreacting? Well, I guess being sold into prostitution has made me a little edgy; or maybe it's the thought of almost losing my virtue to the Goodyear blimp - and then again it could be simply the sleazy feeling of vinyl against my skin.

• Lisa : You took Tara into a SEWER?

  Winston : Yeah, only for a couple of seconds.

• Winston : [to rock band at club. Winston is wearing the sunglasses he found in the bathroom]  Excuse me, are you gonna talk or are you gonna rock?

• Winston : [posturing, trying to look tough]  Yeah, I'm looking for this guy named Cueball. You know where he lives?

  Newsie : [spits on the sidewalk, in disdain]  Who wants to know?

  Winston : [spits, weakly]  Tito.

  Newsie : [demeanor changes to cheerful compliance]  Oh, uh... ground floor, first door on the right.

• Winston : [tries to untie Tara]  What have you got to wear?

  Tara : All I've got is a tube-top and a mini-skirt.

  Winston : It's *better* than nothing!

  Tara : Winston, tube-tops are out, and the mini-skirt is vinyl.
