A scene from Striptease 1996
Moldowsky

Good evening.

Erin

Good evening.

Moldowsky

You don't know me, Miss Grant; I'm Malcolm Moldowsky, Congressman Dilbeck's right hand.

Erin

You must be a very busy man.

Moldowsky

Touché. I wish to give you a word of advice about your adorable little daughter, Angela.

Erin

What about her?

Moldowsky

Well, we're aware that your custody of her is totally illegal.

Erin

That's just temporary until the appeal gets heard, my–

Moldowsky

Please, please, Miss Grant. Really, it's of no concern to us… as long as you refuse to cooperate with certain individuals who seek to harm and slur Congressman Dilbeck… for their own selfish political gain.

Erin

I don't know what you're talking about. Excuse me.

Moldowsky

Perhaps you don't. But what a pity if Angela were to be placed in a state home. Pretty grim, most of them. A lot of, uh… strange people working there. No, I recommend that you cooperate with us, Miss Grant… for the child's sake. Which means you talk to no one about tonight… or any night. Understood?

Erin

Of course.

Moldowsky

Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd better toss the Congressman into a cold shower. By the way, I can see why he's so taken by your charms. Good night. Watch your step on the gangplank. [to himself] She ain't dumb enough.
