- [Cristal sniffs cocaine]
- Cristal Connors: I'm doin' some of the finest cocaine in the world, darlin'. You want some?
- [Nomi shakes her head]
- Nomi Malone: Mm-mmm.
- Cristal Connors: It's great for the muscles. I told Marty I'd work on your turns with you, darlin', but I'm feelin' a little turned inside out myself today.
- Nomi Malone: Cut the shit.
- Cristal Connors: [smiling] OK. We got off on the wrong foot. Wanna start dancin' all over again?
- Nomi Malone: Why?
- Cristal Connors: Why not? Wanna go down to Spago, get somethin' to eat?
- Nomi Malone: Where is it?
- Cristal Connors: [sarcastically] Just down from Ver-sayce.
- Nomi Malone: It's Versace.
- Cristal Connors: Ohhhhh, yeah.
- Nomi Malone: Yeah.
- Al Torres: If you want to last longer than a week, you give me a blow-job. First I get you used to the money, then I make you swallow.
- Penny/Hope: Is he serious?
- Nomi Malone: Don't they have brown rice and vegetables?
- Cristal Connors: Do you like brown rice and vegetables?
- Nomi Malone: Yeah.
- Cristal Connors: You do?
- Nomi Malone: Sort of.
- Cristal Connors: Really?
- Nomi Malone: It's worse than dog food.
- [Cristal laughs]
- Nomi Malone: It is!
- Cristal Connors: I've had dog food.
- Nomi Malone: You have?
- Cristal Connors: Mmm-hmmm. Long time ago. Doggy Chow. I used to love Doggy Chow.
- Nomi Malone: I used to love Doggy Chow, too!
- [Cristal and Nomi touch their chips together]
- Zack Carey: Why did you stop hooking? You had your future pretty well mapped out for yourself
- Nomi Malone: I did what I had to do.
- Zack Carey: Just like you did with Cristal.
- Nomi Malone: I'm not a whore.
- Zack Carey: No... you're not. You're gonna be a big star. Your face is gonna be up on billboards. You're gonna make a lot of money for the Stardust.
- Nomi Malone: What about Molly?
- Zack Carey: You like her, I'll make sure he gives her enough money, she can have a dress shop. Tell me something, how much did you charge?
- [Nomi is confused]
- Zack Carey: Hooking
- Nomi Malone: Fifty. Hundred sometimes.
- Zack Carey: You got low self-esteem baby, you're a fantastic fuck.
- [Nomi spits in his face]
- Tony Moss: Cristal Connors is a star, Sam. You can't just replace her.
- Phil Newkirk: What if we could just bring somebody in while she's recuperating?
- Tony Moss: She could be out for a year, Phil.
- Zack Carey: Like who?
- Phil Newkirk: Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul.
- Tony Moss: Paula Abdul, in my show?
- Mr. Karlman: I'm not going to pay those kind of salaries!
- Zack Carey: Well, in that case, Mr. Karlman, we do what we do in Vegas.
- Mr. Karlman: What?
- Zack Carey: We gamble.
- Tony Moss: How did she do?
- Marty Jacobsen: She's no butterfly. Tony, she's all pelvic thrust. I mean, she prowls. She's got it!
- Tony Moss: I wonder how she got it?
- Marty Jacobsen: Well, she certainly didn't learn it.
- Tony Moss: She learned it alright; but, they didn't teach it in any class.
- Gay Carpenter: What do you want?
- Nomi Malone: Um, burger, fries, and a soda.
- Gay Carpenter: Get her some brown rice, vegetables, and a bottle of Evian.
- Cristal Connors: Where do you dance at, darlin'?
- Nomi Malone: Um... at the Cheetah.
- Cristal Connors: I don't know how good you are, darlin', and I don't know what it is you're good at, but if it's at the Cheetah, it's not dancing, I know that much.
- Nomi Malone: You don't know shit!
- Nomi Malone: I get a headache from champagne.
- Cristal Connors: This isn't champagne. This... is HOLY WATER. I named myself after this holy water. Chrissie Lou Connors used to have dingy brown hair and little bitty tits. It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do.
- [they clink champagne glasses]
- Cristal Connors: You have great tits. They're really beautiful.
- Nomi Malone: Thank you.
- Cristal Connors: I like nice tits. I always have, how about you?
- Nomi Malone: I like having nice tits.
- Cristal Connors: How do you like having 'em?
- Nomi Malone: What do you mean?
- Cristal Connors: You know what I mean.
- Nomi Malone: I like having them in a nice dress, or a tight top.
- Cristal Connors: Mmmm. You like to show em off.
- Nomi Malone: I didn't like showing them off at the Cheetah.
- Cristal Connors: Why not? I liked lookin' at 'em there. We ALL liked lookin' at 'em there!
- Nomi Malone: It made me feel like a hooker.
- Cristal Connors: You *are* a whore, darlin'.
- Nomi Malone: No I'm not!
- Cristal Connors: We all are. We take the cash, we cash the check, we show 'em what they wanna see.
- Nomi Malone: Maybe YOU are a whore, Cristal, but I'm not.
- Cristal Connors: You and me, we're exactly alike.
- Nomi Malone: [shakes her head] I'll NEVER be like you.
- Henrietta Bazoom: Honey, you could never handle me with all these wrinkles of fat. Why, you'd never find the thing. I'd have to piss on you to give you a clue.
- Zack Carey: Nice dress.
- Nomi Malone: Thanks. It's a Ver-sayce.
- Zack Carey: It's "Versace".
- Nomi Malone: What?
- Zack Carey: It's Versace. It's pronounced "Versace".
- Nomi Malone: Oh.
- Zack Carey: You have great taste and you look beautiful.
- Cristal Connors: You fuck him for the spot? Or you fuck him cause you wanted to? I say you did it for the spot.
- Nomi Malone: Is that what you did, Cristal?
- Cristal Connors: You don't want to piss me off, darlin', now that we're friends.
- Nomi Malone: No... You shouldn't get pissed off. Makes you look older!
- [Nomi pinches Cristal's cheek]
- Zack Carey: Are you afraid? Don't be.
- Nomi Malone: I'm not. I liked it when you came. I liked your eyes.
- Nomi Malone: I got my period.
- James Smith: Yeah, right.
- Nomi Malone: Check.
- [James puts his hand down Nomi's pants]
- Tony Moss: One day she looks like Pollyanna, the next day she looks like... I don't know... Lolita, maybe.
- [Nomi giggles]
- Tony Moss: Nice dress.
- Nomi Malone: Thanks, I bought it at Ver-sayce.
- [silence]
- Nomi Malone: In the Forum?
- Tony Moss: Oh, yeah, Ver-sayce. I love Ver-sayce.
- Nomi Malone: Me, too!
- Al Torres: Have you ever done a lap dance before?
- Penny/Hope: No.
- Al Torres: You got to talk them into it. Fifty bucks a pop, you take 'em in the back. Touch and go. They touch, they go. You can touch them, but, they cannot touch you.
- Penny/Hope: Oh, that's good.
- Al Torres: Now, if they cum, it's okay. If they take it out, cum all over you, call a bouncer. Unless he gives you a big tip. If he gives you a big tip, it's okay. You got that?
- Cristal Connors: You fucked her, didn't you?
- Zack Carey: Does that piss you off because you're jealous, Cris? Or because I beat you to the punch?
- [about Zack Carey who's driving a Ferrari]
- James Smith: What is he? Pimp? Only people I know got pimp cars are pimps.
- Nomi Malone: He's the entertainment director.
- James Smith: That's exactly what I said - he's a pimp!
- [from the NC-17 theatrical trailer]
- Nomi Malone: It's not fair!
- Zack Carey: It's not about fair. It's about power.
- Tony Moss: [meeting Nomi for the first time] Hey, Pollyanna.
- Nomi Malone: [stunned] What did you call me?
- Tony Moss: I said, you look like Pollyanna.
- Cristal Connors: Nobody's going to take my lead anyway, darling. I haven't missed a show in eight years.
- Tony Moss: Well, you're not getting any younger, are you?
- Cristal Connors: Eat me.
- [last lines]
- Jeff: Oh, fuck! It's you!
- [Nomi pulls out her switchblade]
- Nomi Malone: I want my fucking suitcase... asshole!
- Mr. Karlman: We could have brought anyone into this show: Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul. Nomi Malone is what Las Vegas is all about! She's dazzling, she's exciting, and very, very sexy!
- Henrietta Bazoom: The Farmer in the Dell, The Farmer in the Dell, I had a cherry once, and now it's gone to hell.
- Marty Jacobsen: Higher! Not that high. Stay in sync. One-two-three! And thrust it, thrust it, THRUST IT, COME ON, THRUST IT! AH! Ok, that's enough! Thank you, ladies.
- Casino Lecher: You lose all of your money, honey? Do you wanna make some more? It won't take you any longer than 15 minutes. Sooner or later you're gonna have to sell it.
- Tony Moss: You got something wrong with your nipples?
- Nomi Malone: No.
- Tony Moss: They're not sticking up. Stick 'em up.
- Nomi Malone: What?
- Tony Moss: Play with them. Pinch 'em a little. You want me to do it for ya? I'll do it.
- Nomi Malone: You got me the audition, didn't you?
- Cristal Connors: Uh-huh.
- Nomi Malone: Why?
- Cristal Connors: Maybe I like the way you dance. Maybe I like you, anyway, what difference does it make?
- Nomi Malone: Did you enjoy that out there?
- Cristal Connors: [smiling] Yeah darlin', I think I did.
- Nomi Malone: I hate you.
- Cristal Connors: I know.
- [She hands Nomi a tissue]
- Cristal Connors: Here, wipe your nose.
- Molly Abrams: My right hand is so tight I can barely thread a needle!
- Nomi Malone: Then use the left one!
- Molly Abrams: For threading a needle?
- Cristal Connors: Molly, this top is way too tight. My breasts are just getting crushed in here.
- Molly Abrams: I can loosen it for you.
- Cristal Connors: Okay... To about here... Maybe... No, no a little less. I want my nipples to press, but I don't want them to look like they're levitatin'!
- James Smith: You don't want to be in this kind of show. What you're doing, at least it's honest. They want tits and ass, you give 'em tits and ass. Here, they pretend they want something else, and you still show them tits and ass.
- Molly Abrams: How did you get out?
- Nomi Malone: Him - he bailed me out.
- Molly Abrams: How come?
- Nomi Malone: I kicked him in the nuts.
- Molly Abrams: He liked it?
- Nomi Malone: He must've.
- Al Torres: Hope, this is Tiffany, Farrah, Heather, Henrietta.
- Penny/Hope: My name isn't Hope. My name is Penny.
- Al Torres: They want class, dumb-dumb. They don't want to fuck a Penny. They want to fuck a Heather! Or, a Tiffany. Or, a Hope. This is a class joint.
