• 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.

• Peggy : [gives Ellie a portrait]  I want us both to be there.

  Eloise : I won't let you guys down.

  Peggy : You never could.

• John : Why, what's up?

  Eloise : Nothing, I'm just a little... overwhelmed at the moment. London's a lot.

  John : I get it. Coming to the city can be a nightmare. Honestly, I'd be lying if I said I was having the best time in North London so far.

  Eloise : Where did you move from?

  John : South London.

• [first lines] 

  Eloise : [inventing high class voices with her dressmakers mannequin]  Beautiful gown, darling. Thank you. Fabulous.

  Eloise : [to the mirror]  Who are you wearing? Eloise Turner. WHO are you wearing? Eloise T, of course. E.T.

  [blows a raspberry] 

  Eloise : Ellie Turner.

• 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.

• Eloise : What do you want to drink?

  John : Oh, yeah. Three Kronenbourgs, please.

• John : Hey, do you want to dance?

  Eloise : I might need some alcohol first.

• 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.

• Eloise : I don't want to be like this.

  John : Like what?

  Eloise : I just wish I was like everybody else.

  John : I'm glad you're not.

• Eloise : Jesus, John! Why whisper like that?

  John : It's a library.

  Eloise : Right.
