- Cleo: Have you ever been in love?
- Beth Harmon: Not with Benny.
- Cleo: Of course not. No woman can compete with Benny's love for himself.
- Cleo: Models are empty creatures. The camera lens fills them with color and texture, and, once in a while, even mystery. But just like there is no mystery to a vacant lot, it's just there until you put something interesting on top of it.
- Alice Harmon: [Beth Harmon passing out drunk and hitting her head of the sofa table] That's my girl.
- Benny Watts: What if you throw the other games and you spend all your time against me?
- Beth Harmon: And what if I kick you in the crotch?
- Benny Watts: [Phone conversation after the Paris loss to Borgov] You shouldn't be by yourself. You know what happens.
- Beth Harmon: Maybe that's what I want.
- Benny Watts: What, to get drunk?
- Beth Harmon: Yeah, good and drunk. Fucking bombed. And maybe high, too. Why not?
- Beth Harmon: Hi.
- Cleo: So, the pretty girl has taste to go with her other gifts, huh? You make me sick, you know.
- Beth Harmon: Thank you, so do you.
