[having sex with a john]

Oh my angel! Oh my angel! [looks at her watch]

Bree Daniel

You're not gonna get hung up on me, are you?

Bree Daniel

It's just nerves, I'm a nervous broad, it doesn't mean anything.

Bree Daniel

Oh ho, you're very square, cookie. No, pimps don't do dates for you, they just take your money.

Bree Daniel

What's the matter? You were terrific. A real tiger. Are you upset because you didn't make me come? I never come with a john. Don't feel bad about losing your virtue. I sort of knew you would. Everybody always does.

Bree Daniel

Men have paid $200 for me and here you are turning down a freebie. You could get a perfectly good dishwasher for that.

Bree Daniel

Nothing is wrong. I think the only way that any of us can ever be happy is to... is to let it all hang out, you know. Do it all, and **** it.

Bree Daniel
[voiceover]

I have no idea what's going to happen. I... I just can't stay in this city, you know? Maybe I'll come back. You'll probably see me next week.

Miss Daniels, can I ask you some questions now?

Bree Daniel
[notices Klute's surveillance gear]

You bastard! Is this a shakedown, hon'? 'Cause you picked a loser, I don't have it.

I'm looking for Tom Gr...

Bree Daniel
[interrupts him]

Jesus, do you think I'd still be living in this kip if I was still in the line fulltime? I'd be back on Park Avenue.

Can I ask you some questions?

Bree Daniel

Or you'll have me thrown back in the brig, you mean.

Bree Daniel

Tell me, Klute. Did we get you a little? Huh? Just a little bit? Us city folk? The sin, the glitter, the wickedness? Huh?

Ah - that's so pathetic.

Bree Daniel

**** off!

Bree Daniel

What's your bag, Klute? What do you like? Are you a talker? A button freak? Maybe you like to get your chest walked around with high heeled shoes. Or make 'em watch you tinkle. Or maybe you get off wearing women's clothes. Goddamned hypocrite squares!

Okay...

Bree Daniels

I hope this doesn't make my cold any worse.

Peter Cable

I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm so deeply puzzled. I've done terrible things, I've killed three people. Really, I don't consider myself a terrible man, no more than-than others. See, Tom Gruneman had discovered me. We were here on business together and he found me and Jane McKenna in my hotel room. She had become hysterical and she started screaming and I guess I hit her. I don't actually recall, it all happened so quickly. Anyway, she fell and hit her head and that's when Tom came in the room. I guess he must have heard her screaming. But I never understood really why she... she did that, she had never screamed before. And it was the revulsion and the contempt that I saw in his face. And the certainty that sooner or later he would use it against me within the company. And I tried to endure that as long as I possibly could, you see. Just want me to keep on talking, don't you?

Bree Daniel

No, I don't. I do understand, I really do.

Peter Cable

Make a man think that he's accepted. It's all a great big game to you. I mean, you're all obviously too lazy and too warped to do anything meaningful with your lives, so you prey upon the sexual fantasies of others. I'm sure it comes as no great surprise to you when I say that there are little corners in everyone which were better off left alone; sicknesses, weaknesses, which-which should never be exposed. But... that's your stock in trade, isn't it - a man's weakness? And I was never really fully aware of mine... until you brought them out.

Bree Daniel

Look, will you please just try to get it from my side? A year ago I was in the life full time, I was living on Park Avenue. It was a very nice apartment, leather furniture... and then the cops dropped on me, they caged me. They started asking me about a guy, some guy, that I'm supposed to have seen a year before that. Two years ago! He could be in Yemen. Gruneman... what does that mean? It's a name! I don't know him! And they start showing me these pictures, and they don't mean anything to me. And then they started asking me if I've been getting letters from some guy out in Cabbageville.

[coldly]

Tuscarora.
