Tipping the Velvet (2002)

Jodhi May: Florence Banner

Quotes 

• Florence Banner : [after overhearing a prostitute in the women's bar talk about an easy and enjoyable job, Florence looks truly puzzled]  Tipping the velvet? Why what ever can THAT be?

  Nancy Nan Astley : [rather surprised at the question]  You don't know?

  Florence Banner : [Smiling]  Well it sounds like something to do with dress making or millinary, but it can't be. No one would pay to watch that.

  Nancy Nan Astley : [Laughing]  No. It isn't.

  Florence Banner : Well what then?

  Florence Banner : [Nan has showed Florence the tip of her tongue, then pointedly nodded and looked at Florence's lap]  Oh!

  [she says, shocked but somewhat titilated]
