Lulu quotes from Polyester (1981)

Through this nose, come some of life's most rewarding sensations, and we plan to share with you some of the most beautiful odors known to mankind. Unfortunately, this same nose is also responsible for bringing us some odors that are rather... repulsive. We have not shied away from this distressing fact. You may experience some odors that will shock you! But the producers of this film believe that today's audiences are mature enough to accept the fact that some things in life just plain stink!

You bought this house with the profits of porno!

White honkey! You crazy cracka! What's wrong with these children of today? Don't he know he just hit one of the sisters of the church! I'm sick and tired of what these children are doing! [hijacks a bus]

Francine Fishpaw lives at 538 Wyman Way. She weighs 300 pounds and is an alcoholic! She eats an entire cake in one sitting. You should see her stretchmarks. Because of her drunkenness, both of her children are delinquents! She's the hairiest woman I've ever laid eyes on! [laughs maniacally]

Prostitutes and devils' witches lose their babies! PRAY with us, girls!

Francine

That's a new garment, Lulu. I can smell it! Have you been shoplifting again?

I bought it with money I saved!

Francine

What money? You don't have a job.

Boys at scool give me money.

Francine

For what?

For dancing at lunch period!

Francine

You dance lewdly for the boys at lunch period?

For a quarter I will!

Francine

Lulu, you have failed every single subject again!

Francine

You little liar. It's a good thing you're not Pinocchio, your nose would be a mile long!

I need money for a cab. Have you forgotten today's the day for my abortion?

Francine

Lulu, there's a living thing inside of you. Oh Lulu, have the baby. We'll raise it together, We'll get a little bassinet and some Pampers. Oh Lulu, that baby is part of you!

It's stealing part of me, you mean! I can feel it like cancer, getting bigger and bigger like the blob! One day it'll rip me open, and it'll be there in my life, ready to rob me of every bit of fun I deserve to have!
