  • (At 11 years of age) Leona, you've gotta stop - you're ruining my career!
  • If you call me "Bugs", you're dead.
  • What the hell is this - a piano bar or a Nazi work camp?
  • Harry, you're an angel. If your mother hadn't been such a bitch, we could've shared something important.
  • He hates my hair!
  • Sexual attraction has nothing to do with character. Unless you're Eleanor Roosevelt.
  • (After slapping John's face on her wedding day) This is the happiest day of my life. I don't ever want you to forget it!
  • (To her dog) Get back, you brain damaged bag of bones, or I'll have you gassed!
  • But enough about me. What about you? What do you think of me?
  • (To a film director) You've had your head in that frigging monitor the whole time - you haven't said anything about character or motivation. You could be watching a Laker game in there, for all I know!
  • Look at this place. It looks like a flamingo threw up in here!
  • I wasn't comfortable in the medium, y'know? So I broke the director's jaw.
  • Are you ready for your radar, dear?

Dialogue

edit
Hillary: Then you want me to wait for you?
CC: Don't you really think you'd ought to wait? I mean, I am dressed like a rabbit.
John: Why do you waste your time doing this?
CC: I can't help myself. I love to get dressed up like a rabbit, and go out in public!
John: Well, is there any place I can come and see your work?
CC: I'll be at Gramercy Square Park this afternoon, in a chicken suit!
CC: Harry, give us a hand with the bags.
Harry: I've got a bad back.
CC: Ah, you've got a bad attitude!
Hillary: (Referring to a drunk outside CC's apartment): She could be dead!
CC: Nah! If she was dead, she would've dropped the bottle!
Doorman: Congratulations on winning the Tony Award.
CC: Wasn't that something? Did you like my speech? I didn't mean a word of it! Did you see those other broads nashing their teeth? Ha ha, was great, wasn't it?
Hillary: You did everything you said you were going to do - everything! And your talent - this incredible talent ... I can't even yodel!
CC: Hillary, what's yodeling got to do with it?
Victoria: You smoked when you were my age?
CC: Sure.
Victoria: What else did you do?
CC: Whatever they told me not to!
