Princess Zolita Quotes in Frankie and Johnny (1966)

Princess Zolita: The leaves are ready to speak.

Cully: No lemon?

Gypsy: The tea leaves have spoken.

Princess Zolita: If you do not mind, I work alone!

Cully: What do they spell, Mother?

Princess Zolita: How lucky you are, the wheel of fortune has stopped at your number.

Johnny: A wheel? That's roulette.

Princess Zolita: And I see a dice table, too.

Cully: No blackjack? This boy plays all games.

Princess Zolita: And a new woman is coming into your life. A beautiful, young redhead.

Johnny: It can't be a redhead, Princess. My girl's a blonde. Take another look.

Princess Zolita: Now I see a blonde. Oh, but she has been bad luck for you. The tea leaves say... you will have good luck with the redhead.

Cully: I know better, I married one. Take the advice of a 20-year loser, no redheads.

Princess Zolita: He must not defy the tea leaves.

Cully: How are you going to explain her to Frankie?

Johnny: Why explain? We'll just use her to make a bundle.

Cully: You're going to pass off a beautiful redhead as a good-luck piece? Good luck.

Gypsy: If, uh, if I may be so crude.

Johnny: Oh, sure.

[Johnny hands a $10 bill to the princess]

Gypsy: If you please. The princess never soils her royal hands with money. $10? When the tea leaves promise a beautiful redhead, it is $20.

Cully: A lot of money for a cup of tea. That's a gypsy for you. Takes all your dough so you can't take her advice.

Princess Zolita: Minor problems like that I cannot solve.

Cully: Maybe you can get another advance from Braden.

Johnny: Not a chance. I'm already in for five weeks' salary.

Cully: That you lost right back into his pocket. Braden's got a nice little thing going there.
