Quotes 

• Frank Kittredge : So you agree, Miss Keller, that Sergio designs virtually resurrected Uta Keller Incorporated.

  Uta Keller : He helped. That's why I agreed all the ads and labels should read Sergio for Uta of California. Now he's trying to sabotage our fragrance.

  Sergio : Our fragrance.

  Uta Keller : Yes, ours, Sergio.

  Frank Kittredge : Meaning Sergio developed and designed the fragrance and you were supposed to market it.

  Uta Keller : I'm aware he thinks my advertising budget for illicit is inadequate.

  Frank Kittredge : Didn't you also agree to manufacture a line of lingerie designed by Sergio?

  Uta Keller : That line is unacceptable. The Uta woman is bold but she is not provocative. The line was too extroverted. Uta Keller is for the woman confident in her sensuality who chooses the quieter garments.

  Sergio : In what she shows to the world. But lingerie is the secret life. Who's to guess what a woman's choice of lingerie might be?

  Frank Kittredge : Sergio, please.

  Sergio : This woman is a stranger to me. But I can only wonder what is under her clothes. Maybe it's not what we see on the outside at all.

  Uta Keller : I don't speak for just any woman. No offense, darling. I only address the Uta woman. And I require my designers do the same.

  Frank Kittredge : So you exert considerable control over your designers?

  Uta Keller : I would be a poor chief executive if I did not.

  Frank Kittredge : Does that control extend to your employee's personal lives?

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : I failed to see the relevance of this line of questioning.

  Frank Kittredge : Then let me bring you up to date. This morning we amended our complaint to include a charge of sexual harassment in the work place.

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : Now wait a minute, where did this come from? There is no proof of a sexual relationship here.

  Uta Keller : They don't need proof, dear. I admit it.

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : Uta, please!

  Uta Keller : The Uta woman does not apologize for her appetites.

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : Let's take a break, shall we?

  Frank Kittredge : As your employee, wasn't any client manipulated into accepting a certain arrangement?

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : Don't do that!

  Uta Keller : What? I manipulated him into 6 months of healthy abandon?

  Frank Kittredge : And when he ended it, didn't you refuse to accept or market his designs?

  Uta Keller : He ended it? I, I, I ended it when I realized his passion was nothing but pretense... to further his career.

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : We're terminating this right now.

  Sergio : My passion could not withstand your jealousy!

  Uta Keller : Jealousy! Oh, la, la, la, la.

  Sergio : You were threatened by illicit! You keep saying the bottle is too erect.

  Uta Keller : It is a fragrance for women!

  Sergio : The erection is a monument to women!

  Lawyer Mr. Klein : Yes, I'm sure it is. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

  Sergio : Avasda! Avasda!

  Gwen Taylor : Your standard textbook case?
