Virginia: my oh my, you're pretty ferocious for a mom's concern, aren't ya? The rest of the time you're just some good-looking, sweet-talking, charm-oozing, fuck-happy fellow with nothing to offer but some dialogue. Dialogue is cheap in Hollywood Ben... why don't you run outside and jerk yourself a soda.

"Bugsy" Siegel: I just want you to answer the question that I'm really asking; how much money have you stolen from this hotel?
Virginia: Hey, look, I've done a hundred times the amount of work I would have to do to justify taking anything I could get my hands on!
"Bugsy" Siegel: How much did you get your hands on?
Virginia: NOTHING! Not a cent! And I could've taken a LOT too! And you wouldn't have known the difference because you're an irresponsible, unrealistic, unreliable, undependable, philandering fuck!
