Quotes from
Dawn Wetherby:
[after Alexander offers Dawn a mint at the LA Free Clinic] Is my breath awful?
Alexander: Probably.
Dawn Wetherby: Oh, well, Gypsies never brush.
Alexander: Gypsies don't have teeth.
Swan: [after Dawn decides to become a hooker and work for Swan, he talks to Dawn alone in his living room to lay down the law] Here's my phone number. You check in every 3 hours when you're out. If I don't hear from you, I'll check the Police Precincts. If you get caught, sit tight, keep your mouth shut. I'll have you out and free within 3 hours.

Swan: But don't ever hold out on me, baby. Hand it in. And I mean all your money. And don't ever think of puttin' a finger on me. 'Cause I'd just soon blow you away. You're ugly. I look at you and I see trash. You're dirty. That's why you're here.
Dawn Wetherby: I'm not. I -
Swan: Shhh. Don't argue with Swan. Don't ever argue with Swan.
[he dumps out the contents of Dawn's purse. He finds five dollars and a note from Alex, which he reads out loud:]
Swan: "Here's five dollars, Love - Uh, Alex?"
[Dawn nods, while Swan takes the money]
Swan: You're worth what you bring in. You a five dollar trick. That's nothin' to Swan, baby. Nothin'. Now, what are you?
Dawn Wetherby: Nothing.
Swan: Exactly. You're just a skinny ugly duckling that I'm going to turn into a beautiful swan.
Doctor Roberts: [talking to Dawn and Alex at the LA Free Clinic, thinking both have VD] 400 of you kids every week. 3 part-time doctors. It's impossible. Okay, which one of you guys goes first?
[Alexander unbuckles his pants to get a shot in the ass]
Doctor Roberts: 8 years of study. I have not one case of mastoids or thrombosis. All I get are 12 year-old pregnants and exotic forms of VD.
[shoots Alex in the ass with needle, then turns to Dawn]
Doctor Roberts: And now for the culprit. Syphilis or Gonorrhea?
[Dawn looks shocked]
Alexander: She needs penicillin.
Doctor Roberts: What she needs is a slap in the fanny. Listen. I don't want you two going near each other until you are cured, you understand?
Alexander: [impatiently] Are you gonna' give her the shot or not?
Dawn Wetherby: I have the flu! Just the flu!
Doctor Roberts: [laughs] I don't know if I remember a cure for that.
Alexander: Penicillin?
