Quotes 

• Russell Bassett : [as Basset and West commiserate in the bar, after Basset calls to Steve, the bartender]  Another round?

  Max West : No, no thanks. I uh, I haven't been drinking as much since I first met Lila.

  Russell Bassett : That's odd. I've been drinking more.

  Max West : Well, on second thought, I...

  Russell Bassett : [as Steve arrives in front of them]  Two more, Steve.

  Steve the Bartender : [as he takes away their empty glasses]  Comin' up.

• Max West : You take a nice picture - even when you have your nose rolled up for a fight.

• Lily Krenshka : One more bum rap for Lily Krenshka.

  Max West : Since when has life been noted for its fairness.

• Max West : I could you use you for posing.

  Lily Krenshka : What kind?

  Max West : Not that kind. Bathing suit art. Strictly for tourists. Pays four dollars an hour.

  Lily Krenshka : Just for wearing a bathing suit?

  Max West : No. For lookin' as if you're never intendin' to swim in it. Try one of those on for size.

• Lily Krenshka : It's a pretty good racket for a dame.

  Max West : It isn't a racket. It's hard work. It takes years of experience.

  Lily Krenshka : And sex is no handicap.

• Max West : It can only see what you want it to see. It can even change that slum where you were raised by exposing it. Don't forget that - Lila.

  Lily Krenshka : Lila?

  Max West : Lila Crane. More elegant than Lily Krenshka. Lila Crane. It's a fine ring: Photos by Lila.

• Max West : Lily, did you ever hear of hellfire?

  Lily Krenshka : Hear about it? I lived it!

• Russell Bassett : What do you think of her, Max?

  Max West : Well, I'm very fond of Lila. When we're older we don't look for perfection in our friends. She wanted a career, she got it.

• Max West : What are you doing Lila?

  Lila Crane : Freezing a hot potato.
