• Christopher : [to Christine who is trying to seduce him]  I'm sorry darling. I don't really feel too well. I'm tired. It's always like this when I haven't had enough television.

• Christopher : At least back in the days when I was "Jackie" and I worked at the Carlton Hotel - when I worked the Carlton Hotel - I fulfilled a function. Anybody could rent me. Do what they liked with me.

  Paul Wagner : And Christine did - with a bit of help from me.

  Christopher : I still remember those old women and their greasy cocktails. All their Brandy Babalus and Singapore Slings. I can taste them, to this day. And if you did't drink them, they were offended. No tip!

  Paul Wagner : Well, but, at least you graduated to champagne.

  Christopher : Oh, yeah. Yes, now I'm Mr. Belling - the Champagne King. That's an empty title - if ever there was one. Who is he? I haven't changed. Where's the - the thing that justifies my life?

  Paul Wagner : Doing nothing's a very tough job. It calls for a lot of concentration. I think you've done a very good job on yourself. When I first met you - you were a good looking mess. Now, you've learned to do nothing with - with, eh, distinction. It's a work of art.

• Christopher : What's your name? Me, Paul.

  Mr. Pfeiffer : Me, Paula.

  Christopher : No, me, Paul.

  Mr. Pfeiffer : Me, Paula!

  Hamburg Escort : She is called Paula.

• Christine Belling : You're not so badly off here, are you?

  Christopher : It stinks of champagne!

• Christine Belling : Darling, what's the matter with you? You were so sweet when you woke up?

  Christopher : It's you! It's like being married, I don't know, it's like being married to a computer!
