Karen Flores quotes from Get Shorty (1995)

Karen Flores

When I came upstairs, you stayed to finish your drink. I told you to turn off the TV when you were through. Come to think of it, I also told you you could sleep in the maid's room.

Karen Flores

I spent all day crawling out of a grave. The costumer kept bitching 'cause I was ripping my nylons...

Karen Flores

I know I'm better than what I've been doing the last ten years, walking around in a tank top and ****-me pumps, waiting till it's time to scream.

Karen Flores

Yeah, well Martin is known for his flipping. He flips over a script, and when the time comes to make a deal, he flips out.

Movie stars never pick up the check. They have no idea what things cost. Most of them don't know their zip code and a lot don't even know their own phone number.

Chili

Hey... Karen. How ya' doin'?

Karen

What're you doing here?

Chili

I wanted to come by, apologise for coming into your house like I did last night.

Karen

Lemme get this straight, you broke in again to apologize for breaking in before?

Chili

No, no... you let the patio door open. You gotta stop doin' that, all the nice things you got around here.

Chili

You read Harry's new one? He says it's the best thing he's ever read.

Karen

He must mean after "Slime Creature 3".

Chili

I was never much into it. All that bullshit having to do with respect. It's bad enough having to treat those guys like they're your heroes, having to smile when they make some stupid remark they think's real funny.

Karen

And you think the movie business is any different?

Chili

What kinda food they serve at this Ivy place anyway?

Karen

Continental, but it doesn't matter. Martin won't order from the menu.

Chili

Why not?

Karen

Because a movie star can never order straight from the menu. They have to think of something they have to have that isn't on the menu.
