The Female Animal (1958)

Richard Avonde: Pepe, Lily's Gigolo

Quotes 

• Lily Frayne : [Lily Frayne and her date, Pepe, are at the restaurant bar; Pepe looks troubled as he examines a bracelet on his wrist]  I don't know why you're objecting to that slave bracelet. I buy one for all my friends. I used to wear two or three of them myself around my ankle in the old days. Everybody wears them.

  Pepe, Lily's Gigolo : Mon cher, please, I'm bored hearing about "The Stone Age."

  Lily Frayne : [shakes her diamond-covered hand at Pepe]  That's where these rocks came from, lover, and don't forget it.

  [turns to Bartender] 

  Lily Frayne : Darling, give Lily a shot for her bronchitis.

  Bartender : Of course, Miss Frayne.

  Lily Frayne : It's the sea air. I don't know why I live here.

  Bartender : I thought you liked the beach.

  Lily Frayne : Oh, I do, darling, I do.

  [glances at Pepe] 

  Lily Frayne : But it's so boring. Nothing to do night or day but go to bed.

  Bartender : Why don't you make another picture, Miss Frayne? I thought you were great in "Salammbô."

  Lily Frayne : Lubitsch did, too, darling. Lubitsch did, too. We were giants in those days. Now you could put the whole bunch under a card table and nobody'd muss a hair.

  [glances at Pepe] 

  Lily Frayne : Did you ever see me in "Salammbô," darling?

  Pepe, Lily's Gigolo : Sorry, I wasn't born then.

  Lily Frayne : [angry]  Well, I was only eleven myself! They called me "Little Lily Frayne." I was the first child star ever to be chased around a desk.
