The Notorious Bettie Page (2005)

Teddy Eck: Charlie

Quotes 

• Bettie Page : [out in the woods]  Sometimes when I get homesick, I just go out to Central Park, and walk around for hours.

  Charlie : Gee, I like to do that too.

  Bettie Page : Some people think I'm... funny for spending so much time alone.

  Charlie : Oh, no, Betty. You're in very good company. Many of the world's greatest speakers spent their time alone.

  Bettie Page : [smiles]  They do? Well, I'll be...

• Charlie : [lots of snapshots later]  I'm roasting. Do you wanna call it quits?

  Bettie Page : [in leopard-print bikini]  No, I'm fine. I love the sun.

  Charlie : Well, we better move into the shade after these shots, though. You don't wanna get a mark from your bathing suit straps.

  Bettie Page : Oh, thank you, Charlie, that's very thoughtful of you. You know, I could take this silly old bathing suit top off, if you like...?

  Charlie : Really?

  [face lights up] 

  Charlie : Oh, sure, yeah! If you don't mind...

  Bettie Page : Oh, I've been thinking about it.

  [her hands go behind her back to undo] 

  Bettie Page : What difference does it make, little piece of cloth?

  Charlie : [and down goes Betty's top]  I agree, absolutely!

  [Betty proudly displays her bare breasts] 

  Charlie : Thank you!

  [camera shutter clicks in appreciation too] 

  Charlie : You know, Betty, you're the most popular model at our club.

  Bettie Page : Flattery's the Devil's tool, Charlie.

  [snickers, adopts arms held high akimbo pose] 

  Bettie Page : How's this?

  Charlie : I don't know how to say this. Don't be offended, but... Well, we've come this far. Do you think you could take off the bottom as well?

  [smiles] 

  Charlie : After all, it's just a little piece of fabric.

  Bettie Page : Now don't you go throwing my words back at me, Charlie.

  Charlie : I'm - I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
