Quotes 

• Lou : I'm a lover!

  Grace Pinza : Numbnuts!

• Grace Pinza : Lou, you're late again! Peppy's very nervous. Peppy knows he's got an appointment. Here I am ringing this bell like Charles Laughton in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Is that what you want from me? To become a hunchback ringing for you?

• Lou : That's enough!

  Grace Pinza : Nothing's enough.

• Grace Pinza : I always wanted shoes with - clear plastic heels you could see through with - live goldfish swimming in them. Wouldn't that be swift? Have to walk so delicate.

• Grace Pinza : Lou, you get back here. You've got to push the blood back in my feet.

  Lou : I'll be right back.

  Grace Pinza : Lou, come back!

• Grace Pinza : If you leave me alone with her, I'm gonna kill you Lou.

  Lou : Grace, will you listen for just once. This is not medicine.

  Grace Pinza : I'm still a very important woman in this town. I'm Cookie Pinza's widow! He used to deliver coffee for Cookie. He's my servant.

  Chrissie : Do you know that your whole body ends at the bottom of your feet? You think I am just poking your feet. Well, when I touch this spot here...

  Grace Pinza : Lou.

  Chrissie : This is where your spine is.

  Grace Pinza : Lou!

  Chrissie : When I touch this spot here, this is where your tummy is.

  Grace Pinza : *Lou!*

• Grace Pinza : You didn't protect her. What's your life worth? Cookie had more manhood in his toupee, than you've got in your fat frame.

• Grace Pinza : I came here during the war. Betty Grable look-alike contest. The boardwalk filled with hundreds of Betty Grable look-alikes - from all over America - selling war bonds.

• Chrissie : I don't mind that Dave's dead. It just means he'll be reincarnated sooner, that's all.

  Grace Pinza : You mean Cookie's coming back?

  Chrissie : Sure! Everything comes back.

• Chrissie : You look after people good.

  Grace Pinza : I never had to look after anybody. I was a princess!
