Quotes 

• Moira : What they get you for?

  Kate : We tried to cross the border. You?

  Moira : Gender Treachery. I like girls.

  Kate : My God! They could've sent you to the colonies for that.

  Moira : They don't send you to the colonies if your ovaries are still jumping.

• Moira : Remember, hands and feet we don't need in our business.

• Moira : So, why are you here? What did you do? Why did they send you in? Did you laugh at the wrong dick or something?

  Kate : I'm an evening rental.

• Kate : [very quietly mouthing]  What's your name?

  Moira : Moira. What's yours?

  Kate : Kate.

• Moira : [to Aunt Lydia as she and Kate tie her up in the bathroom]  If you're lucky they'll find you before Christmas. Remember I didn't kill you.

  [taps Aunt Lydia's blindfold] 

  Moira : I like your panties, sweetie.

• Moira : This place is a nuthouse.

• Moira : I gotta get outta here, Kate. I gotta do something. I'm gonna fake like I'm sick.

  Kate : Really bright. Then what?

  Moira : Then there'll be two guys in the ambulance. They must be starved for it. I'll suck their fucking cocks till they're blue in the face. They'll do whatever I say.

• Moira : Don't you dare fucking move around or I'll stick this thing so far up your fucking ass you won't even know what hit you. You'll go all the way to the moon. Yes, you little goody two-shoes.

• Kate : So here you are.

  Moira : So here I am. It's not so bad, really. You get free face cream here. Free booze, free drugs, you only work nights.

  Kate : Oh, shit.

  Moira : It's not bad, really. Actually, there's all these women around. I love it.

  Kate : Do they let you?

  Moira : They don't care who you fuck.

• Moira : The damn wives don't want me! I don't know why. Maybe I scare them. Maybe they think I want to touch their tits.

• Kate : I'm going crazy.

  Moira : This is a fucking loony bin.

• Kate : [jokingly]  You look like the whore of Babylon.

  Moira : Well, I asked them to get me something classy from Saks Fifth Avenue, but you know what the mail's like these days.
