Stella Stevens nel ruolo di...
Stella Purdy
- Buddy Love: They're nice kids. All nice. All nice kids. They have very, very good taste, I might add.
- Stella Purdy: I'm glad. It would be a shame to waste the genius of yours on the riff-raff.
- Buddy Love: Well, honey, I always say, if you're good and you know it, why waste time beating around the bush, true?
- Stella Purdy: And I always say that to love yourself is the beginning of a life-long romance. And after watching you, I know that you and you will be very happy together.
- Buddy Love: Just a minute, sweetheart. I don't recall dismissing you.
- Stella Purdy: You rude, discourteous egomaniac!
- Buddy Love: You're crazy about me, right? And I can understand it. Only this morning, looking in the mirror before shaving, I enjoyed seeing what I saw so much I couldn't tear myself away.
- [kisses his hand]
- Buddy Love: Have some, baby?
- Stella Purdy: I feel like the girl on her wedding night whose absent-minded husband goes home to his mother for dinner.
- Buddy Love: I know what you're thinking: Where's he been all my life? Right?
- Stella Purdy: No, not exactly.
- Buddy Love: And that you're happy with the way I handled those three goons, right? Well, normally I would've belted them, but I didn't want to muss myself all up and have you dance with a sloppy guy. Dig?
- Stella Purdy: Well then, you restrained yourself just for little old me.
- Buddy Love: I knew you'd appreciate it. I do a lot of nice things.
- Stella Purdy: Well, is that really the case or is this line 27-a for young college girls?
- Buddy Love: Aww, now you see? You went and done it. For one of the rare times in my life when I dig down into the soul, and you doubt my veracity. Well, that hurts.
- Stella Purdy: Well, it's not your veracity that I doubt.
- [pause]
- Stella Purdy: The music stopped.
- Buddy Love: Yeah, I heard.
- Buddy Love: Hiya, chicky baby. How's it going?
- Stella Purdy: Fine.
- Buddy Love: Crazy. I thought I'd visit your little land of learning. Cute. Cute pad.
- Stella Purdy: What happened to you last night? What'd you run away like that for? I thought you saw a ghost or something.
- Buddy Love: Oh yeah. How 'bout that? Well, that's why I stopped by. I thought I'd lay it on ya, but this ain't the place to talk. What do you say we meet later at the Purple Pit? We can talk better there.
- Stella Purdy: Well, I dunno. You're pretty weird, you know, and I don't want...
- Buddy Love: Chi-chi. Ten o' clock?
- Stella Purdy: Perfect.
- Buddy Love: Figures.
- Professor Julius Kelp: [after being helped off the shelf of a closet] Thank you, Miss Purdy.
- Stella Purdy: Are you all right, Professor?
- Professor Julius Kelp: Oh yes, I... this is very embarrassing, Miss Purdy.
- Stella Purdy: Why don't you call me Stella, Professor.
- Professor Julius Kelp: Oh, I thought it was Stella Purdy. Oh, you mean to call you Stella. Yes. How stupid of me. Sorry. All right, I will, stupid. Uh, Stella.
- Stella Purdy: The class is gonna have a mid-term celebration tonight at the Purple Pit. We'd love having you to join us.
- Professor Julius Kelp: Thank you, Miss Purdy. It's terribly considerate and kind of you, and I appreciate it, and all that and I have always said that I feel there should be a closer interrelationship between the student and the faculty based on better *learning*, yet at the same time, I'm sure you're aware that the Purple Pit is off limits to the faculty of the university.
- Stella Purdy: I'll admit you're a very sharp-looking guy. And you certainly have that proverbial gift of the gab. *And* the only reason I've only gone this far, I think, is because when you meet someone who's like nothing you've ever met before, your curiosity gets stirred up. Well, mister, this is one kitten that won't be smitten by that little old devil.
- Stella Purdy: You're pretty late, Mr Love.
- Buddy Love: Hold it. Hold it, baby, you got it a little mixed up. You're just way too early, that's all. Now, be a nice girl and plant one over there. You'll feel better. Come on, honey, the best things in life are free. Now, you'll admit, you've got one of the best things. Go ahead. Lay it on me.
- Stella Purdy: You're impossible.
- Buddy Love: Yeah, well, have some impossible. Come on.
- [Stella leans forward and kisses Buddy]
- Buddy Love: See, wasn't that worth waiting for?
- Stella Purdy: Dr Warfield, well, we don't exactly know how to get in touch with Mr Love, on such short notice, that is.
- Dr. Mortimer S. Warfield: What do you mean you don't know how to get in touch with him? Is he some kind of roving bum or something?
- Professor Julius Kelp: Perhaps, and it's just a possibility, he chooses to keep the inner man locked up so that no one steps on him.
- Stella Purdy: But he should know *I* don't want to step on him. Maybe someday I'll get to prove it to him. If he ever unlocks that inner man and lets him loose, so that I can grab him and hold him.
- Professor Julius Kelp: I appreciate it.
- Stella Purdy: What?
- Stella Purdy: There's really nothing to work out, Professor, other than understand that just being one person is more than enough for any human being to handle.
