Quotes 

• Irmy : I slept with someone for it. Does that makes me a whore?

  Kleinmann : [Referring to the money he's holding]  This?

  Irmy : Just one person. Does that make me a whore?

  Kleinmann : Well, no, only by the dictionary definition.

• Irmy : My father used to say, we're all happy, if we only knew it.

• Prostitute : This is Irmy, she's with the circus. She needs a place to flop tonight.

  Prostitute : What do you do in the circus, huh?

  Irmy : I'm a sword-swallower.

  Prostitute : Oh, a sword-swallower, that's my specialty, too.

• Irmy : [after sex]  You were wonderful!

  Student Jack : It's not necessary for me to be wonderful. I was paying.

• Irmy : This is real, isn't it? And beautiful. I mean just think about it for a minute. Here we are, we're two strangers, and we're out in the night, and it's just so peaceful and quiet. And suddenly there's a little clearing in the fog and we can see right out to the stars. Doesn't this moment just seem perfect?

  Kleinmann : Yes, but, you know, it - it passes so quickly. Look. And even now the fog is starting to go back in and, you know, everything's always moving all the time, you know. Everything's constantly in motion, so - so it's no wonder that l'm nauseous.

• Irmy : l slept with somebody for it. Just one person. Does that make me a whore?

  Kleinmann : Well, only by the dictionary definition.

• Irmy : l wanna have a baby.

  Clown : We're going to have a baby, but not right now. A family? That's *death* to the artist.

• Irmy : What are you staring at?

  Kleinmann : Me?

  Irmy : I'm not a whore!

  Kleinmann : What'd I say? Do l care what your hobbies are?

• Irmy : You never take your eyes off her. You're always standing under her trapeze looking up her legs. l see you!

• Irmy : So, are you gonna be okay?

  Kleinmann : I - I should be alright. You know, apart from the fact that - that l'm wanted by a lynch mob and the police are after me and there's a maniac loose and l'm unemployed, you know. Everything else is fine.
