Quotes 

• Clara : A shower always works wonders.

• Clara : Throughout history humankind has used drugs. Drugs are a form of grace. Aspirin for the soul.

• Clara : Hallo.

  Lucy : Hi.

  Clara : Please, come in. Sit down.

  Lucy : Thank you.

  Clara : Thank you for coming. Such a pleasure to see such a unique beauty.

  [Lucy looks down shyly] 

  Clara : Let me tell you how things should proceed. I'll describe the job, and then, if you're interested, we'll discuss particulars. How's that sound?

  Lucy : Yes. Good.

  Clara : We're looking for a silver service waitress to work at private functions in lingerie that we will supply. You will be working with other girls. Some of whom will have... more responsibilities. There is room for promotion. You're paid two hundred and fifty dollars an hour cash. You will be engaged on a freelance basis... job by job. Either one of us can terninate our arrangement at any time, so please be sure to maintain another, more reliable, source of income.

  Lucy : I understand.

  [nods] 

  Clara : We rely on... mutual trust... and discretion. And I'm obliged to tell you there are... heavy penalties... very heavy penalties for any breeches of discretion. Okay? Am I clear?

  Lucy : [nods]  Yes.

  Clara : My sincere advice to you is to... use the money wisely. Think of it as a windfall. Pay off a student loan. Please, please

  [with pained expression] 

  Clara : do not think of this as a career. Just work hard, for a short amount of time. Your vagina will not be penetrated. Your vagina will be a temple.

  Lucy : My vagina... is not a temple.

• Lucy : [enters wearing robe]  I'm ready.

  [gestured to sit down] 

  Clara : Are you feeling well?

  Lucy : Pardon?

  Clara : Are you in good health?

  Lucy : Yes, I'm fine.

  [sits down] 

  Clara : [sits down as well, pours tea from elegant tea service, hands over cup]  You'll go to sleep, you'll wake up, it will be as if this house never existed. You won't even dream. From now until after you wake, you'll feel, yes, slightly... groggy, but then fine. Perfectly fine. Not really as bad as a hangover. Such a sleep works wonders. You'll feel profoundly restored.

  [Lucy drinks her tea, then hands back the empty cup]
