Quotes 

• Philo Beddoe : [upon learning about Schuyler and Lynn]  What do you do? You hustle for him?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [hissing]  You're just not too smart, are you? Why did you have to come? Why couldn't you quit like everybody else? You had to come chasing me and spoil it all!

  Philo Beddoe : I guess I'm just not too smart, that's all. 'Cause up to now, I'm the only one dumb enough to want to take you further than your bed.

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [slaps him hard]  I HATE YOU!

  [she slaps and punches him repeatedly] 

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

  [she collapses and cries, falling to the pavement... Philo glares at Schuyler, who has one hand in his jacket pocket, and walks off] 

• Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [kissing a man outside the Zanzibar after the show]  Like me?

  [he kisses her] 

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : Want me?

  Harlan : Let's go.

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : Harlan... I've got a friend. It's OK though. He won't mind. He might just want to come along.

  Harlan : [thinking for a moment]  Let's go.

  [Lynn stops when she sees Philo standing in the shadows] 

  Harlan : Is this your...

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [cutting him off]  No.

  Harlan : You want to talk to him?

  Philo Beddoe : [to Harlan]  The lady and I have a little business. I expect you'll be excusing us.

  Harlan : Maybe you ought to excuse yourself.

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : It's OK, Harlan. I'll just be a minute.

  Harlan : Are you sure?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : Yes.

  [Harlan walks off] 

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [to Philo, coldly]  It's your own goddamn fault. Who asked you to follow me?

  Philo Beddoe : [stunned]  I just thought...

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [interrupting]  You thought? If you'd thought, you would've taken some very broad hints! I've been trying to get rid of you practically ever since the first night we met!

  Philo Beddoe : What about Taos?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : What about it?

  [in disgust] 

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : I need it just like anybody else.

  Philo Beddoe : You do this all the time?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [sardonically]  Yeah, I do this all the time! And you and me had our time! So how come you don't know when to disappear?

  Philo Beddoe : [she turns to leave... Philo grabs her arm]  Come here.

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : Take your hands off me!

  Schyler : [stepping from shadows]  Lynn? Is everything all right?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : Schuyler, this is the one from L.A... the one who's been following me. The big dumb one I told you about.

  Philo Beddoe : Schuyler with the shotgun?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : That was MY idea. I was hoping he'd scare you away.

• Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [Philo takes Lynn back to her trailer after the attempt on them by Schuyler... Philo parks the truck and prepares to get out... Lynn stops him]  Philo... I'm scared.

  Philo Beddoe : Don't worry... I'm not going to let anything happen to you.

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [crying]  That's not what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid for Schuyler... please don't hurt him!

  Philo Beddoe : Well, that sonofabitch tried to blow my head off and he didn't even care that you were sitting next to me!

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : That's just it! He was trying to scare you! He doesn't even know how to shoot!

  Philo Beddoe : I sure as hell don't like the way he's trying to find out!

• Philo Beddoe : [Philo and Lynn are riding in his truck]  If you don't like him, they why do you stay with him?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : [talking while singing along with the radio]  Because he promised to help me get the $7,000.

  Philo Beddoe : For what?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : For the down payment.

  Philo Beddoe : What do you want to buy?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : My own club back home in Denver. I'm going to call it the Lynn Halsey-Taylor Drinking Fountain. That's going to be the name of my group too, and I'll have talent night three days a week.

  Philo Beddoe : How much of the $7,000 do you have already?

  Lynn Halsey-Taylor : He won't tell me.
