  Donald Dasher : We rarely eat any form of noodle. But I'll take a small portion to be polite, with cheese, please.

  Donna Dasher : I'll have an extremely large glass of ice-water.

• Aunt Ida : Aahhh! Ahhhh! Dawn, ya son of a bitch! You're the one who did it! YOU! You drove Gater away!

  [as Ida enters the room] 

  Donald Dasher : Oh my God!

  Donna Dasher : Incredible!

  Dawn Davenport : Ida Nelson, you get out of my house!

  Aunt Ida : You made Gater leave! I got somethin for your face, motherfucker!

  [Ida hurls acid into Dawn's face] 

• Donald Dasher : We are a private salon, catering to ravishing beauties only. Even one average customer would be enough to plummet our reputation forever. So, we must pick and choose with great care. Firstly, I'd like to know your occupations.

  Stripper : I'm a stripper.

  Telephone Company Girl : And I work for the telephone company.

  Donald Dasher : Disqualified!

• Taffy : [the Dashers have invited Dawn over for dinner]  Am *I* invited?

  Donald Dasher : [very deliberately]  N!

• Donald Dasher : Stop being so prissy, Donna. Excitement is not always clean.

• Donald Dasher : Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!

  Donna Dasher : It makes the Mona Lisa look like a number painting.

• Dawn Davenport : I had never felt complete until I experienced an eyeliner rush.

  Donald Dasher : We've been on the stuff for months. Doctors and other simpletons may frown upon it; but, we beauty czars know what is good for the blood.

  Donna Dasher : Would you like to shoot some more? I had some orally earlier.

• Donald Dasher : We are always curious as to what drew you here to "Le Lipstique".

  Stripper : Well I heard all the strippers come here, and I got sick of my old salon.

  Donna Dasher : And supposing we become sick of you?

  Stripper : Well, I had hoped that wouldn't happen...!

  Donna Dasher : Well, I think it IS happening. It's hard to describe, but when I look into your face, I pick up a distinct feeling of nausea.

  Stripper : Hey, WAIT A MINUTE...!

• Taffy : [arrives at Dawn's dressing room backstage at Superstar Nightclub dressed in saffron robes]  Hare Krishna, mother!

  Dawn Davenport : Oh, you've finally done it, haven't you? Embarrassed me on my night of FAME!

  [grabbing her] 

  Dawn Davenport : No reporter saw you, did they?

  [Taffy shaking off her mother's hands] 

  Dawn Davenport : Ooh, look at you. I could vomit!

  Taffy : I thought I'd come and see you one last time before your karma caught up with you. Mother, it's not too late. Come to the temple with me.

  Donald Dasher : THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF BEAUTY!

  Donna Dasher : Remember Alice Crimmins.

• Donna Dasher : Dawn, we're planning a little experiment - a beauty experiment, you could call it. And we want you to be our model.

  Donald Dasher : Sort of a glamorous guinea pig, you might say.

• Donald Dasher : We must get used to this lowlife. For, here lies beauty. Crime and beauty.
