The Substance quotes

Page 1 of 2
Casting Director

Too bad her boobs aren't in the middle of her face instead of that nose!

Fred

You haven't changed a bit! You're still the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world!

Man at Diner

It's long, isn't it?

Excuse me?

Man at Diner

Seven days.

[realizing he is also using The Substance]

Did you follow me here?

Man at Diner

I was just curious to find out how things were going for you. Each time you feel a little more lonely, don't you think?

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine. Everything's fine.

Man at Diner

It gets harder each time, to remember that you still deserve... to exist! That this part of yourself is still worth something! That you still matter!

Man at Diner
[Elizabeth starts to leave in fright]

Has she started yet? Eating away at you?

Oliver

I am actually quite handy if you ever need me to be an aid. I have got a big hammer, you know what I mean!

Sue
[as the TV Host asks Sue what her beauty secret is]

I don't know. Uh...

Say it! Say it!

Sue

Let me think.

Say it! Tell them who your little beauty secret is!

Sue

I guess...

[undresses her housecoat]

I would just show them right here. [flashes her television] Here's your little beauty secret.

Sue

I guess I just try to be myself. To be sincere and grateful for all that I have. [as Elisabeth throws eggs at her television] And to always remember to leave with my heart.

Sue
[in a panic]

I need a better version of myself. Please give me a better version of myself, please! Please! Come on!

[on the phone in the bathroom]

I don't care if I see every **** young girl in this **** town in the next few weeks. Look, I made it simple. We need her young. We need her hot. We need her now. How the old bitch has been able to stick around for this long, that's the **** mystery to me. Oh, Oscar winner, my ass. When was that back in the 30s? What, for King Kong? [laughs] No, I don't give a **** what we promised her. This is network TV, not a **** charity. Find me someone new. NOW! Hey, did you know that a woman's fertility starts to decrease by the age of 25? How old is Jennifer? Ha ha. You better get busy. [laughs as he walks out]

Sue
[to Elisabeth]

I won't be out late, so just wait for me. Don't eat too fast.

[to the shareholders, about Sue]

You will not be disappointed. She's my most beautiful creation. I have shaped her for success.
