Nellie LaRoy quotes from Babylon (2022)

Nellie LaRoy

It's written in the stars. I am a star.

Nellie LaRoy

I hate when people put **** toppings on ice cream. Doesn't need it. It messes up a good thing. You know what I mean? I **** hate that. God, I've never done nothing except disappoint people my whole life. Teachers told me I was no good. Boys told me I was no good. Every **** casting director in the city told me I was too short or I was too fat. Usually I was too fat. You know, my mama actually had some fat years too. You wouldn't know it now, looking at her, but she did. They **** up with me, Manny. They really **** up with me. 'Cause I make 'em squirm. And I like making 'em squirm. Let 'em know that I got here on my terms, not theirs. And when I'm done, I'm gonna dance my ass off into the night. And they'll know - everyone will **** know that they could never control one goddamn **** thing. Do you like ice cream?

Nellie LaRoy

Hello, college!

Nellie LaRoy

You know, "Roy," actually, in French, means "king." And I added the "La," so it's "Nellie the King." I made that up.

Nellie LaRoy

Don't "Nellie baby" me, you six foot **** vagina!

Nellie LaRoy

They said if I don't have the money in a week, they'll pour acid on my pussy!

Nellie LaRoy

Party time, sparkle ****!

Nellie LaRoy

What a nice man. I wonder if he's single.

Nellie LaRoy

Now I do apologize, but I must resign briefly to the powder room. I shan't be long. Ta-ta!

Nellie LaRoy

Manny... this is the end of the road for me.

Nellie LaRoy

It'll be like nothing they've ever seen!

Nellie LaRoy

Hot damn! Jack Conrad? You are even more ****able in person.

Nellie LaRoy

Oh, I'm no good for you!

Nellie LaRoy

Chaplin is hung for sure, but Gary Cooper. Gary Cooper is a **** horse! He's also a **** pussy. All that ****, no balls. A shame. What are the schlongs like on Broadway?

Nellie LaRoy

Oh, if they could see me now! All the ****s in Lafayette called me the ugliest mutt in the neighborhood. Well, let them see me now!

Nellie LaRoy

Hey, you two with the camera! Do you know who I am? I'm Nellie LaRoy, bitches.

Nellie LaRoy

Suck a dick, Señor Avocado.

Nellie LaRoy

Well, that was a waste of time!

Nellie LaRoy

I ain't a **** pussy!

Ruth Adler

How do you do it? Just tear up over and over like it's nothing?

Nellie LaRoy

I just think of home.

Ruth Adler

Cut! Okay, forgive the ask. This is nuts, but could you by any chance try the same thing with less tears?

Nellie LaRoy

One tear or two...

This goddamn bitch is stealing the scene from right in front of me! She's changing the blocking in every take! She's icing her nipples to perk them up!

Nellie LaRoy

**** you, I ain't icing my nipples, this is natural. You're just sore because yours just look like ****in' latkes.

And she placed this... in my dressing room.

Nellie LaRoy

I don't even know what that is.

Manny Torres

I just love watching movies, you know?

Nellie LaRoy

I love watching movies too.

Manny Torres

You sit there. And you're watching the movie and...

Nellie LaRoy

And you escape. You don't have to be in your own shitty **** life.

Manny Torres

Exactly!

Nellie LaRoy

Exactly! You can be in their life!

Manny Torres

Or wherever!

Nellie LaRoy

Or wherever!

Manny Torres

You can be in the **** Wild West! You can be in **** space! You can be like a gangster. And people dance in movies and people die in movies. And they're not really dead. It's **** amazing. They're not really dead!

Manny Torres

Nothing happened, for real, but at the same time, it's something even more important than life. You can feel it! Like - I don't know. Movies are sad sometimes. Movies are **** happy.

Nellie LaRoy

They make you feel something.

Robert Roy

And that, that is when I grabbed the snake by the head.

Nellie LaRoy

The big **** man! There he is!

Robert Roy

What?

Nellie LaRoy

What's he telling you? What was he saying to you?

Robert Roy

The snake story.

Nellie LaRoy

The snake story. Dad, I have an idea. Why don't you fight a snake, a real one, right now. Come on.

Robert Roy

No problemo. Let's go fight a snake.

Nellie LaRoy

Okay! [smashes glass on ground and announces to party] **** listen up, all you big dick mister men! Who wants to see my dad fight a **** snake? [party is silent]

Jack Conrad

**** yeah! [the entire party then simultaneously outbursts in approval with raised hands]

Yeah! [Chanting] A snake's getting fought!

Nellie LaRoy

I'm already a star.

Manny Torres

Ah, you are?

Nellie LaRoy

Yeah.

Manny Torres

What have you been in?

Nellie LaRoy

Nothing yet.

Manny Torres

What's your name?

Nellie LaRoy

Nellie LaRoy.

Manny Torres

Perfect. Once again.

Nellie LaRoy

Nellie LaRoy.

Manny Torres

In French.

Nellie LaRoy

It is French already!

Scene 17, take seven. Mark. Action. [squeaks]

Nellie

Hello, college.

Nell, your mark!

Nellie

**** this shit!

****. Lloyd. It's a million **** degrees! [the crew shoves Bill back in and shuts the door]

We gotta move the mic. Or you could **** direct her to hit her **** mark. But why is it so **** hard? You're right!

Nellie

I didn't realize we were making Ben-Hur!

I can move it right now. My whole year is wide open. We could shoot this thing through **** New Year's. Wherever the **** those little feet of hers want to go, I can move the mic for them! Okay, calm down! Get off of me! I dare you! I **** dare you! Get off the set! You're good.

Nellie

Un-****-professional!

Okay. Okay, Lloyd, ready to go again? You want me to use this chalk? Make the mark bigger for you?

Ruth

Okay, we're gonna go again. It's fine. No, it's fine.

The mark's right here.

Nellie

I'm gonna kick your **** ass!

Oh, yeah! Come on! Come on! [all shouting]

Can we go? I'm gonna have a **** heart attack in here.

Get back in your **** box, Bill!

I can't even believe this.

Everyone, shut up! Shut the **** up!

Nellie

That's not how we make movies.

Shut the **** up! Now, if anyone stops this scene again, I will shit on you! I will shit in your mouth, I promise you! Is that clear, Lloyd? Is that good for **** sound? Now, we are going again! Camera! And mother**** sound!

Nellie LaRoy

Seems like a nice place.

Nellie LaRoy

You're about to not have a job, ****o!

Listen, I know you wish you were Billie Dove...

Nellie LaRoy

Oh, I think you wish you were eating my ass!

Nellie LaRoy

Actually, I've got one. A bear and a rabbit are shittin' in the woods one day. And the bear says to the rabbit, 'Hey, do ya ever have a problem with the shit sticking to your fur?' And the rabbit finishes shitting and he says, 'No, I never do. Why?' And the bear says, 'Fan-****in'-tastic!' And he grabs the rabbit behind the ears and... [grabs the rabbit fur scarf from around Mildred Yates' neck and imitates wiping her rear with it]

Elinor St. John

I can't believe you just...

Nellie LaRoy

Why not? Why, haven't you heard what they say about me? I'm a degenerate ****in' animal. 'Oh, Nellie!' Look at them. 'Oh, who knows what she might do? She's from Jersey, y'know.' This is what a degenerate ****in' animal from Jersey does. [She animalistically feasts at the buffet like an animal, to everyone's stunned glare] That's what the degenerate ****in' animal from Jersey does. So y'know what? I'm gonna let you go on ****in' your cousins, polishing your guest lists, plying your ****in' underage mistresses with ****in' Beaujolais, you sick ****s! I'm the animal? What is this shit? What is this shit? Oh, I'm the sick one! I'm the ****in' crazy one! You people make me ****in' sick! You're not better than me! You're not! You're not ****in' better than me. I don't need this shit. Y'know what? I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna stick some coke up my pussy. And you all can stick your champagne flutes up your rose-smellin', candy-tastin', snow white ****in' assholes! [She walks outside, but quickly runs back inside. She then projectile vomits on the floor, horrifying and disgusting everyone]

My rug! You puked on my rug! [Nellie proceeds to projectile vomit on Hearst, before taking a sarcastic bow and leaving]
