Quotes
-
Eloise : Has a woman ever died in my room?
Ms Collins : This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city.
-
Eloise : I know what you did.
Silver Haired Gentleman : I've done a lot of things, Eloise. You're gonna have to be more specific, luv.
-
Eloise : Do you believe in spirits?
Carol : What kind of a question is that? That brown stuff pays your wages.
Eloise : I mean... do you believe in ghosts?
Carol : Ghosts? No. Why? Are you scared down here? If this place is haunted by anything, it's the good times. When it's empty, all I hear is the laughs. Every gangster, every copper, every red-faced lush has been in here, and all those high spirits have soaked into the walls. You could probably get drunk on just that.
Eloise : Yeah...
Carol : [realizing what Eloise is getting at] Ellie, I love you, girl. You fit right in. But you can't sleep here.
-
Eloise : I hear you were quite the ladies' man.
Silver Haired Gentleman : "Were?" How dare you. Still am. You never lose it.
-
Ms Collins : You're not in any trouble, are you?
Eloise : No. No, I just need, uh, an escape.
Ms Collins : Oh, don't we all, dearie.
-
Eloise : If I could live any place and any time, I'd live here in London in the '60s. It must have felt like the center of the universe.
-
Eloise : When I see someone in it - when I imagine it, she's wearing the dress. The dress isn't wearing her.
-
Eloise : How do you know my name?
Silver Haired Gentleman : I make it my business to know all the pretty girls around here. All their problems. Always have done.
-
Ms Collins : Look at that. You've changed your hair.
Eloise : Yeah. I wanted to go for something different - you know, a bit of '60s.
Ms Collins : You play a lot of that music, don't you?
Eloise : Is it too loud?
Ms Collins : Not at all, but what's that about? It's more my time than yours.
Eloise : My gran plays it a lot. Guess I just like the old songs better than the stuff today.
Ms Collins : Music was better, yeah.
-
Silver Haired Gentleman : And here she is. You know your siren song is playing? I just put this on the jukebox, and lo and behold, you appear. Carol was worried about you. Thought you'd gone missing. I told her no one ever really disappears. They're always around somewhere.
Eloise : I'm right here.
