Quotes
-
The Lady Chablis : It's like my mom always said: "Two tears in a bucket, motherfuck it."
John Kelso : I'll have to remember that one.
-
John Kelso : I've only been here three days and it's just a shooting, but give it time, okay. This place is fantastic. It's like Gone With the Wind on Mescalin. I know you're my agent. Listen to me, they walk imaginary pets here, Garland. On a fucking leash. Alright? And they're all heavily armed and drunk. New York is boring!

Jim Williams : Well, that's a very genteel way of asking if I come from old money.
John Kelso : Do you?
Jim Williams : No. I was born in Gordon, Georgia, a little town outside of Macon. My father was a barber, sometimes house builder. My mother was a secretary. What money I have is about eleven years old.

Mrs. Baxter : Mr. Kelso? Are you Mr. Kelso?
John Kelso : Yeah.
Mrs. Baxter : I'm Lorene Baxter. Welcome to Savannah. "Town And Country" is my favorite magazine. Oh, my land, where are my manners? What can I get you to drink?
John Kelso : Anything cold would be great.

Jim Williams : I'm innocent, John. It's important that you believe that. Do you believe that?

John Kelso : So, tell me, Jim, has your family always collected?
Jim Williams : Well, that's a very genteel way of asking if I come from old money.
John Kelso : Do you?
Jim Williams : No. I was born in Gordon Georgia, a little town outside of Macon. My father was a barber, sometime house builder, my mother was a secretary. What money I have is about eleven years old. So, yes I am "nouveau riche," but then it's the "riche" that counts, now isn't it? There's only two things that interest me, work, and those trappings of aristocracy that I find worthwhile, the very things they're forced to sell when the money runs out, and it always runs out. And then all they're left with is their lovely manners!
