Gloria Sullivan Quotes in Zero Effect (1998)

Gloria Sullivan: What doesn't kill you defines you.

Gloria Sullivan: When your number's up, it's up. There's no sense to it. There's no justice. Innocent people suffer and murderers get away with it. So when my number's up, whether I'm walking down the street or doing something else, that will be that. You know, you, me, anyone could walk out of here and get killed by some drunk in a pick-up truck. I could slip in the shower and break my neck.

Gloria Sullivan: Alright, you're an accountant, so you would know: what is the Corrodium 3 Deduction?

Daryl Zero: The Corrodium 3 Deduction... That's a very good question because that, in fact, is probably the most widely misunderstood deduction in the book.

Gloria Sullivan: Really?

Daryl Zero: Indeed. The Corrodium 3 Deduction is an incentive used by large manufacturers who can limit their use of Class 3 decay toxins such as corrodium and... malgorium. Anything else?

Gloria Sullivan: [shakes her head]

Baby: [in the motel room] So what do you wanna do?

[Gloria shakes head]

Wendy Banjo: Help!

[screams from a window in the bathroom]

Baby: I knew that fucking cunt would do something stupid! Shut up! Open the fucking door! Open the goddamn door!

Gloria Sullivan: [pulls a gun on Baby] Hold it!

Wendy Banjo: [continues screaming after breaking the window] Somebody help me!

Baby: [back to motel room] What are you gonna do? Shoot me? What did I ever really do to you?

[holding a knife behind her back]

Gloria Sullivan: I swear I'll do it! I'll kill you!

Baby: Why would you wanna kill me? I'm your only hope. My brother's fucking crazy, you've seen him.

Gloria Sullivan: [Yells to Wendy from the room] Wendy it's all right! Come on out!

[Baby plunges the knife into Gloria's chest]

Gloria Sullivan: [Gloria drops to her knees and pulls the knife out from her chest]

Baby: [pulls down jeans and shows her rear] Go ahead, shoot me. Shoot me right on the ass!

[Gloria pulls the trigger, but the gun is empty]

Baby: Stupid cunt. There ain't no bullets in this thing. It's all fucking mind power.
