[final scene]
Robert : [standing outside looking at the ocean] I used to love to look at he ocean, walk by it, just sit and listen to it. Now I don't care if I ever see it again.
Gloria Beatty : That, or anything else.
Robert : What are you gonna do know? Try in the movies again?
Gloria Beatty : No. I'd never make it. And maybe it wouldn't make no difference, even if I did. Maybe it's just the whole damn world is like central casting: They got it all rigged before you ever show up.
Robert : I know what you mean. I know just what you mean.
Gloria Beatty : Do you?
Robert : What *are* you gonna do?
Gloria Beatty : I'm gonna get off this merry-go-round. I'm so sick of all sticky things.
Robert : What thing?
Gloria Beatty : Life. And don't give me no sunshine lectures!
Robert : I wasn't going to.
Gloria Beatty : Then what were you looking at me that way for?
Robert : I wasn't, I was just tryin to see you face.
Gloria Beatty : Well keep looking. And stick around for the end.

Rocky : I have a little notion, kids. Something that could help the show. Something that could benefit all of us and, in particular, could benefit the two of you. And at the same time give the folks out there something to get worked up about.
Gloria Beatty : What are you gonna do? Put us in cages and have them throw peanuts at us?
Rocky : No, all kidding aside...
Gloria Beatty : Who's kidding?
-
Gloria Beatty : What is this?
Rocky : Tabs on you and Robert.
Gloria Beatty : You're charging me this?

Gloria Beatty : Oh, Jesus!

Rocky : The doctor's decision is: Lillian Kramer stays on in the marathon! The doctor's assured me Lillian just has a slight sinus headache.
Gloria Beatty : Headache. For all that quack knows she's... she's got a brain tumor.
Robert : No, I don't think so. Only I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's different with a brain tumor. Different symptoms.
Gloria Beatty : Yeah? How do you know?
Robert : I saw it in a movie. Anita Louise and Richard Cromwell. That's what she died of. Anita Louise. A brain tumor. But it was different. Everything just suddenly got dim for her one day until finally she couldn't see at all. She couldn't even see Richard Cromwell when she kissed him goodbye.
Gloria Beatty : Yeah? And well then she just died?
Robert : Kind of. She just drifted off listening to her favorite tune. And then she was dead.
Gloria Beatty : No pain or anything? They probably lied.

Rollo : [menacingly] "I've got my eye on you."
