• Victoria : Well, you're right. I'm terrible. I know I'm terrible. I look at the mirror and I'm ashamed. Maybe I should quit. I just can't seem to do anything right.

  Joe Gideon : Listen. I can't make you a great dancer. I don't even know if I can make you a good dancer. But, if you keep trying and don't quit, I know I can make you a better dancer. I'd like very much to do that. Stay?

  Victoria : Are you going to keep yelling at me?

  Joe Gideon : Probably.

• Victoria : I want so to be a movie star.

  Joe Gideon : Oh?

  Victoria : Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to see my face on the screen - 40 feet wide.

  Joe Gideon : Oh, yeah?

  Victoria : "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." You're looking at my nose, aren't you? It's crooked. It goes to the left. See? I mean, like, I could always have that fixed. Like that. Do you think I could be? You know, a movie star. In the movies.

  Joe Gideon : Well, that's - I don't know anybody that could answer that question. It's - it's a very freaky business, you know?

  Victoria : Yeah, I know all about that, but, like, I wanna know what *you* think. Do you think I could be a movie star?

  Joe Gideon : No.

  Victoria : Even with a nose job?

  [Joe shakes his head no] 

  Victoria : Well, that's fair. Like you said, it is a freaky business, though. You know, you could be wrong, right?

  Joe Gideon : Right!
