Mannequin quotes

Page 1 of 4

Mr. Richards, this store has never been more successful, and it's all due to Jonathan Switcher. I don't care if he puts a rubber glove on his head and runs naked around the store yelling: "Hi, I'm a squid!"

Armand

Roxie! Roxie, Roxie. You know what you need to do right now? You need to put him and this whole nasty affair out of your mind. Now, how is the best way to do that, huh? Huh? By having a night of distasteful sex with someone you care absolutely nothing about! And proudly, I would like to be that person.

Fine, let's go to your place

Armand

Really?

Drive fast before I have second thoughts!

Armand

Armand is the wind!

[after Emmy, as a mannequin, has flipped off him and Mr. Richards]

Enough of this surveillance crap! Captain Felix Maxwell takes this from no mannequin!

Tonight, we'll do something different and special. Something that this store has never seen before. I just wish you didn't look so worried.

That's easy for you to say. You're a mannequin, you'll always have work. Me, I'm gonna wind up in the nuthouse after this. I wonder if insanity is covered in the employee health plan?

Mother, I don't want to settle down. I want to do things, I want to invent things, I want to try things that nobody's ever tried before... I want to fly.
Emmy's Mother: [sarcastic] Sure and I want to smoke and tell your father to go to hell! Emmy, if I thought we women could any way change anything, don't you think I'd encourage you?

[handing Mr. Richards a container of show polish]

Here, Mr. Richards. You had better put some camouflage on, sir.

I am not going to put shoe polish on my face, thank you. Now, could we please get into the store, Felix?

[seeing Jonathan and Emmy leaving]

It's him! It's her! Oooh, that little prevert! He's stealing her before we can!

Okay, let's not do anything rash! We'll follow them quietly and look for just the right moment to grab them.

Don't worry, Mr. Richards. I'm an expert at surveillance. Hang on!
[They begin chasing Jonathan and Emmy]

[seeing Jonathan with Emmy]

Switcher, you are one sick puppy!

[shocked]

No, this is how I get my inspiration. I create. And I can tell by looking at you, you're not the artistic type.

[cracks his fingers]

You know, Mr. Richards told me to keep an eye on you. But I think I'm gonna handle things my own way.

Don't let Felix get to you. He just has a bad case of Miami Vice.

Listen, I gotta go, okay? I promised my girlfriend I was gonna take her out tonight.
