Beverly D'Angelo: Sidney 'Syd' Gibson

Quotes 

• Billie Frank : [asking for an advance]  Hey, Siddy Sid Sid... you're like the mother I never had.

  Sidney Gibson : Forget it.

  Billie Frank : Now you're like the mother I have.

• Billie Frank : Alright, alright, I admit it. I'm a fiscally irresponsible, emotionally unstable, former drunk. But that shouldn't *no way* prejudice your decision to maybe, you know, hopefully give me an advance?

  Sidney Gibson : An advance? You don't earn the money I pay you.

• Billie Frank : May I confide in you as a friend?

  Sidney Gibson : No.

  Billie Frank : Fine. Then as an acquaintance.

  [she sighs and sits] 

  Billie Frank : You know, lately, my life has been really crappy. Yeah... haven't had sex in over months, my landlord is raising my rents!

  Sidney Gibson : So sleep with him.
