Pearl : You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.

Pearl : First time I went to Europe with my first husband, many years ago, all we saw was churches, one cathedral after another. Don't misunderstand. They were beautiful. But so you see two or three, then enough already.

Pearl : Give me a good sirloin anytime. Charcoaled. They talk about club steaks and porterhouse. Sirloin, charcoaled and blood-rare.

Renata : Do you have any children, Pearl?
Pearl : Oh, yes. I have two sons. Lewis and John. Lewis is in real estate. John runs an art gallery.
Renata : Oh?
Pearl : In the lobby in Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. It's not exactly a gallery. It's more - a concession.
Joey : Paintings of clowns on black velvet?
Pearl : That's right. Junk. Oh, I tell you, it's pure junk. But people like it. They get a kick out of it. He does very nicely.

Pearl : You know what I say: You only live once, but once is enough if you play it right.

Pearl : How many ruins can you see? But that hot sand, that blue water, that's for me.

Pearl : I prefer a warmer climate. I even lived in Australia for a year with my sister Faye, when Adam died, but I went nuts! It's dead there.
Mike : I was in Sydney, Australia, once.
Pearl : Was I lying? Did you like it?
Mike : Well it was just a vacation you know. I was only there a coupla days.
Pearl : Lucky. It's like a morgue. Nothing to do at night; no pizzazz. I couldn't take that.
