• Jeffrey Moss : Did I say I was a writer?

• Jeffrey Moss : Ella you're a girl with a lot of love to give. Don't scatter it all over the place. Give it to me. I need it. I want it.

• Jeffrey Moss : All right, all right, I've tried analysis, I might as well try witchcraft.

• Jeffrey Moss : Don't you like dancing?

  Ella : I love it.

  Jeffrey Moss : [dancing and singing]  Just in time, I found you, Just in time, Before you came, My time was runnin' low, I was lost, The losin' dice were tossed, My bridges all were crossed, Nowhere to go, Now, you're here, And now I know, Just where I'm goin', No more doubt or fear, I found my way, For love came, Just in time, You found me, Just in time, And changed my lonely life, And lonely days...

• Jeffrey Moss : You know, if I hadn't found you crawling around on my floor, I wouldn't be invited anyplace. I'd just be resting comfortably, face down, in the gutter.

  Jeffrey Moss : Secretary?

  Jeffrey Moss : Well, if you're here as a secretary, then get to the typewriter! What do you charge?

  Ella : Nothing!

  Jeffrey Moss : Oh, come on!

  Ella : A thousand dollars an hour!

  Jeffrey Moss : That's reasonable enough. Now sit down. Sit down! I promise I'll keep my grimy paws off of ya. Now, where were we? Act 12, Scene 9! Señor Mendoza's hacienda in Iceland! Rodriguez is kneeling by the bedside...

• Jeffrey Moss : How did you know about her and the races?

  Jeffrey Moss : At the stockyards. Are you ready?

  Ella : Let's slaughter 'em.
