Judy Bernly: You mean she's a... a company spy?

Violet Newstead: I wouldn't exactly say that, I'd just say that if you want to gossip in the ladies' room, I'd check under the stalls, first, for her shoes.

Judy Bernly: What did you say it was called?

[Passes joint to Violet]

Judy Bernly: Goodbye boss man. It's quittin' time.

Violet Newstead: What could we use to keep Hart quiet?

Judy Bernly: Blackmail?

Violet Newstead: Blackmail, oh that sounds good! What could we get on him...?

Judy Bernly: A sex scandal! Take a picture of him in bed with a prositute.

Doralee Rhodes: No, who'd care?

Violet Newstead: Yeah, Hart would just buy up all the copies and then distribute them as Christmas cards.

Dick: [after seeing Hart tied up and drawing the wrong conclusion] So! This is what you're into now. Bondage, S&M, sex games!

Judy Bernly: [thinking fast] Uh... that's right, all of it! I'm into... everything. Now, get out of here!

Dick: Who *is* that guy?

Judy Bernly: My boss.

Dick: But, Judy, this isn't you at all! You can't be serious about this!

Judy Bernly: Don't you tell me what I can or can't be serious about, or what is or isn't me! If I want to play S&S and M&M and all those other bondage games, or even smoke pot, that's my business!

Dick: Smoking *pot*? I can see what all that has done to you...! And to think I actually came here tonight and asked you to come back to me! HA!

Judy Bernly: "HA" is right! Would *you* come back to you? Why, I opened a bottle of wine the day after you flew off with Liza!

Dick: ...If that's the way you feel, then there's nothing more to say.

Judy Bernly: Oh, yes there is... HIT THE ROAD, BUSTER; THIS IS WHERE YOU GET OFF!

[Violet, planning to get rid of a dead corpse from the hospital that she thinks is Hart's body, drives crazily and speeds along the highway with Doralee and Judy in the car with her]

Judy Bernly: Where's the body?

Violet Newstead: In the trunk! Look, all we have to do is get some cement blocks, chain them to his feet and pitch him off the end of the pier, and no one will ever know.

Violet Newstead: Oh-hoh, crazy am I? They never found Jimmy Hoffa!
