Quotes 

• Jackie : [at fetish club]  Oh! Look at them. These people are disgusting.

  Belle : Most people see sex as a bit of fun. You need to loosen up a bit.

  Jackie : I do not need to loosen up. You need tightening up. Does Mom know how much you masturbate?

  Belle : Does Mom know that you've left Patrick?

  Jackie : Agh.

  [impatiently:] 

  Jackie : Hannah, can we leave, please? I need to wee and I couldn't fit my hand sanitizer into this stupid handbag, and I'm not getting an STD from one of these freaks, thank you very much.

  Belle : When was the last time you had sex?

  Jackie : What?

  Belle : A couple of months?

  Jackie : Yes. A couple of months.

  Belle : How many?

  Jackie : Six. Or... eleven.

  Belle : Jackie, that's really serious.

  Jackie : Oh! Ugh!

  [a rubber-clad man is sniffing at her feet, licking] 

  Jackie : I want to leave and I want to leave now!

  Belle : [to the viewer]  You wear open-toed shoes, you're gonna get licked.

  [smiling at the guy] 

• Stephanie : [mean madam, strapped to X-frame, her secret discovered by Belle, but talking down as if it's a normal conversation]  Well, well, well, business or pleasure?

  Belle : [incredulous]  Pleasure? You?

  Stephanie : Bit of both. How is business?

  Belle : Yeah, yeah. Busy. Regulars keep me in shoes.

  Stephanie : I meant the writing work. You are a writer now, aren't you?

  Belle : [feigning innocence]  I... I don't know what you're talking about.

  Stephanie : I know it was you who wrote that filthy little book. I wanna know why you said I've been ripping off girls for years.

  Belle : Well, you have, it's hardly slander.

  Stephanie : You called me 'as sexy as a smear test.'

  Belle : [laughs]  Yeah. I'm real pleased with that one.

  Stephanie : It's cheap, Belle. A cheap joke by a cheap whore.

  Belle : Oh, really? I seem to remember you described me as 'deluxe' on your website.

• Jackie : [referring to the fetish club]  I don't think any of the people last night were happy.

  Belle : Hm-mm?

  Jackie : I mean, they were nice people, but the way they live their lives... Ooh, look at me, I've got a bolt through my winkle, I've never had a normal relationship...

  Belle : Mmm. Your relationship with Patrick is going just perfect, isn't it?

  Jackie : [slowly swiping her fringe away from her eyes]  What's that supposed to mean?

  Belle : Forget it.

  Jackie : C'mon.

  Belle : No, there's no point.

  Jackie : Hannah, I want to know what you think you know.

  Belle : All right. You treat him like a pet. Not a man. You run him down in front of everyone.

  Jackie : And you're a relationship expert now, are you?

  Belle : You know what, Jackie, let's just leave it, shall we?

  Jackie : No, let's not just leave it. I don't see why you think you're so qualified to dole out advice.

  Belle : I'm not...!

  Jackie : [climbing into her now]  Who do you think you are? Your life is going nowhere. Mom and Dad are always talking about how disappointed they are with you, not using your degree, not getting a proper job.

  Belle : Right. And they'd rather have me have a dead-end job in a dead-end marriage in a dead-end town like you,.wouldn't they?

  Jackie : Yes! Because at least then you wouldn't be a secretary whose only chance of getting anywhere is by fucking her way to the top!

  Belle : And what have you ever achieved? A dried-up marriage with some boring man you can't even keep?

  [for that, she gets viciously punched in the face, and reels back, stunned] 

  Belle : I can't believe you just hit me!

  [grabs her stuff, rushes out] 

• Belle : [first lines, narrating]  We all fantasize to escape our ordinary lives.

  [elaborate 1950s boss & secretary scene, in appropriate gear, she is wearing a very cute girlish dress with a wide flouncy skirt] 

  Belle : And in my line of work, I am the fantasy.

  [passionate love] 

  Belle : Every encounter lingers like a ghost, following me all the way home.

  [she leaves, walking past vintage car, takes off wig, world around her transforms into reality, with modern car] 

  Belle : Keeps me company. Someone to share the secret of who I am, and what I've just done.

  [arrives home, enters, hears box dropping, contents clattering] 

  Belle : Jackie?

  Jackie : [her older sister staying over has found her sex toys, swaying two realistic ones in her hand]  We need to talk.
