John Willie Quotes in The Notorious Bettie Page (2005)

[Bettie reacts angrily when John sings a ribald song during a bondage photo shoot]

John Willie: What's the matter, Bettie?

[John pulls the gag from Bettie's mouth]

Bettie Page: It's your language, Mr. Willie.

John Willie: Oh, it's just an old army ditty to help keep our spirits up while fighting the beastly Hun. Do you approve?

Bettie Page: I believe in Jesus.

[for her photo shoot, Bettie is tied up wearing slinky lingerie]

John Willie: Do you mind if I ask you a question, Bettie? What do you think Jesus would think about what you're doing now?

Bettie Page: Well, Mr. Willie, I've thought about this quite a lot and I'm not really sure if I know anymore. I think God has given us some kind of talent and he wants us to use it. That's why he gives it to us.

Bettie Page: God gave me the talent to pose for pictures and it seems to make people happy. That can't be a bad thing, can it?

John Willie: Not to me it's not, but what does God think?

John Willie: If you had any more sense you'd be daft!
