Beverly D'Angelo: Shelley

Quotes 

• Shelley : [enters wearing only a towel]  Oh, hi. You're Elgin, right? Look, I just want to make sure I came in through the right window. Um, do you have a sweater or something I could put on?

• Shelley : Some women are so jealous. I'm not. Are you?

  Elgin Smith : Well, I don't think I'd like it if my girlfriend was messing around, no.

  Shelley : That's *sweet*. That's old fashioned. I like that in a man.

• Elgin Smith : Would you like to go for a drink or something? I don't have any dope.

  Shelley : I bet I could find your room. Once I've been someplace once, I'm just like a homing pigeon.

  Elgin Smith : My room?

  Shelley : Yeah. Third floor.

  [in a fake French accent] 

  Shelley : Ze zecond one ze left.

• Elgin Smith : Shelley, what are you doing?

  Shelley : I'm taking my clothes off.

• Shelley : Do you know her?

  Felicia : I hate that when you recognize someone. You'll probably wake up in the middle of the night and then you'll think of it.

  Shelley : Maybe he won't be asleep in the middle of the night.

  Felicia : [to Shelley's date, Elgin]  Do you have insomnia.

• Shelley : You want to make love?

  Elgin Smith : Just like that? Have you been reading a lot of Cosmopolitan or something?

  Shelley : You may not believe this, but, I've never said that to a guy before. But, you're kind of different. I feel sort of - maternal. Oh, it's not in a bad way. It's in a sexy way.

• Shelley : You can't handle a real woman. You want us all to be shy violets.

• Shelley : What do you think? Do you think everything's just a mess? I mean, do you think that everybody's looking for something that they can't find?

• Shelley : Do you want to make love?

  Elgin Smith : I always end up saying no to you, don't I?

• Elgin Smith : Sit down. Have a seat. I sound like a receptionist. Have a seat. The doctor will be right with you.

  Shelley : Oh, Doc, it's an emergency. I have a broken life. Maybe we should x-ray it.

• Shelley : Have you ever tried any positions from the Kama Sutra?

  Elgin Smith : I doubt it.

  Shelley : I'll tell you about Krishna and Rahda.

  Elgin Smith : Okay.

  Shelley : Krishna was the god of all the heavens and Radha was this young Indian maiden he wanted to make love to; but, because he was a god and she was just a maiden he couldn't do it. So, he invented a position, called the defying position.

  Elgin Smith : The defying position.

  Shelley : The defying position. Um, you hold my leg up like that and hold it like this.

  Elgin Smith : You've got to be kidding.

  Shelley : No! It's great. You'll love it. I - I think. Wait. Hold on. Oh! Oh! Now, see. But, wait. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh! Oo, that feels good.

  Elgin Smith : Shelley, you won't believe this; but, there is an easier way.

• Shelley : You know, I'd stay all night. I'd do whatever you'd want to do. But, you have to know that it's me. That's all I want.

  Elgin Smith : I know. I know.

  Shelley : You just have to know it's me.

  Elgin Smith : I know.

  Shelley : Know you don't. Nobody does.
