Pretty Woman quotes

Page 3 of 5

Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails!

Beg your pardon?

Well, doesn't it blow your mind? This is only four cylinders!

People put you down enough, you start to believe it.

I think you... are a very bright, very special woman.

The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?

The stores are not nice to people — I don't like it.

Stores are never nice to people. They're nice to credit cards.

Wait a minute — that's a Lotus Esprit!

Kit

No, that's rent. You should go for him. You look hot tonight. Don't take less than a hundred. Call me when you're through... Take care you.

Take care you.

Well, now that you got me here, what are you going to do with me?

You wanna know something? I don't have a clue.
. . .

You know, you could pay me. That's one way to, maybe, break the ice.

Wow! Great view! I bet you can see all the way to the ocean from out here.

I'll take your word for it. I don't go out there.

Why don't you go out there?

I'm afraid of heights.

You are? So how come you rented the penthouse?

It's the best. I looked all around for penthouses on the first floor, but I can't find one.

[A well-dressed couple observe Edward and the scantily-clad Vivian as an elevator arrives.]

Well, color me happy! There's a sofa in here for two!

[The man moves to enter, but his wife stops him. A chagrined Edward turns to the couple.]

First time in an elevator.

Woman

Ah.

Woman
[Edward enters. The woman turns to her husband.]

Close your mouth, dear.

[Edward offers Vivian a condo, car, and a shopping allowance.]

What else? You going to leave some money by the bed when you pass through town?

Vivian, it really wouldn't be like that.

How would it be?

Well, for one thing, it would get you off the streets.

That's just geography.

Vivian, what is it you want? What do you see happening between us?

I don't know. When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would... I would pretend I was a princess, trapped in the tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly, this knight, on a white horse, with these colors flying, would come charging up and draw his sword... and I would wave, and he would climb up the tower, and rescue me. But never in all the time... that I had this dream... did the knight say to me, "Come on, baby, I'll put you up in a great condo."
. . .

I've never treated you like a prostitute.

[He walks away.]

You just did.

[Fumbling with his tie, Edward tells Vivian about his business.]

You don't actually have a billion dollars, huh?

No. I get some of it from banks, investors... it's not an easy thing to do.

And you don't make anything...

No.

... and you don't build anything.

No.

So whadda ya do with the companies once you buy 'em?

I sell them.

[Viv reaches for his tie.]

Here, let me do that. You sell them.

Well, I... don't sell the whole company, I break it up into pieces, and then I sell that off, it's worth more than the whole.

So, it's sort of like, um... stealing cars and selling 'em for parts, right?

[sighs exasperatedly]

Yeah, sort of. But legal.

[Vivian accidentally launches an escargot, which is deftly caught by the mâitre-d.]

Slippery little suckers.

Mâitre-D

It happens all the time.

[Vivian hops up onto Edward's desk in a sultry pose.]

You're on my fax.

Well, that's one I haven't been on before.

[Vivian pulls a fistful of condoms from her purse.]

Pick one. I got red, I got green, I got yellow... I'm out of purple, but I do have one Gold Circle coin left... the condom of champions, the one and only... nothin' is gettin' through this sucker. Whaddya say, hmm?

A buffet of safety.

I'm a safety girl.

[Vivian, smartly dressed and carrying many bags, stops in at yesterday's clothing store.]

Do you remember me?

Salesperson

No, I'm sorry.

I was in here yesterday. You wouldn't wait on me?

Salesperson

Oh.

You work on commission, right?

Salesperson

Ah, yes.

Big mistake. Big. Huge! [turns away] I have to go shopping now!
