• Jack Hock : You're a horrid cunt, Lee.

  Lee Israel : I love you too, Jack.

• Lee Israel : Can you keep a secret?

  Jack Hock : Who would I tell? All my friends are dead.

• Lee Israel : You were friends with Julia...

  Jack Hock : Steinberg. She's not an agent anymore - she died.

  Lee Israel : She did? So young.

  Jack Hock : Or maybe she didn't die. Maybe she just moved to the suburbs - I always confuse those two. No, that's right. She got married and had twins.

  Lee Israel : Better to have died.

• Lee Israel : I'm writing a book about Fanny Brice.

  Jack Hock : Who's Fanny Brice?

  Lee Israel : Are you sure you're a fag?

• Lee Israel : Jack Hock, you said?

  Jack Hock : That's me. The renegade, the rebel. Jack Hock, big cock.

• Lee Israel : You pissed in a closet.

  Jack Hock : I did what?

  Lee Israel : You pissed in a closet. Now I remember. Nobody could stop talking about the English gentleman...

  Jack Hock : Why thank you.

  Lee Israel : Who was so shit-faced, he mistook the closet for the can. You ruined thousands of dollars worth of furs. Those old biddies didn't know what hit them!

  [both laugh] 

  Lee Israel : Oh the disgusting furs covered in piss. Dogs followed them home!

  Jack Hock : [laughing]  Oh I'm glad somebody found it amusing. Some folks stopped talking to me after that night.

  Lee Israel : Well, fuck 'em!

• Lee Israel : So what do you do, Jack Hock?

  Jack Hock : Oh this and that. Mainly that.
