Quotes 

  • Lola : [looks horrified]  Burgundy. Please, God, tell me I have not inspired something burgundy. Red. Red. *Red*. *Red*, Charlie boy. *Red*! Is the color of sex! Burgundy is the color of hot water bottles! Red is the color of sex and fear and danger and signs that say, Do. Not. Enter. All my favorite things in life.

  • Lola : [about her father]  He wouldn't talk to me. Even when he got lung cancer. So it's ironic, really. Fags got him in the end.

  • Big Mike : Well, you wouldn't put a frock on. If you don't want to get off with blokes, why put a frock on?

    Lola : Thing is, Mike, ask any woman what she likes most in a man. Compassion, tenderness, sensitivity. Traditionally the female virtues. Perhaps what women secretly desire is a man who is fundamentally a woman.

  • Mrs. Cobb : Ah! Now the little pottery shoes, they're good luck, you see? You know, like Whitby has lucky glass ducks, Northampton has lucky pottery shoes. Can I just ask, are you a man?

    Lola : I am, love, yes.

    Mrs. Cobb : Ah, that's fine. Just so's I know how to leave the toilet seat.

  • Don : [as lola insults the shoes]  You'd look nice in 'em love.

    Lola : [walks up to him slowly, sits on his knee, looks seductively into his eyes]  If you can't get women to wear them...

    Lola : [adopts a much deeper masculine voice]  ... then you'll never get a bloke like me to where 'em.

  • Lola : One never knows what joy one might find amongst the unwanted.

  • Charlie Price : How much do you weigh?

    Lola : The right amount! How much do you drink?

  • Lauren : Lola, you're gonna have to excuse Charlie. We don't have many transvestites in Northampton.

    Lola : I'm not merely a transvestite, sweetheart. I'm also a drag queen. It's a simple equation. A drag queen puts on a frock, looks like Kylie. A transvestite puts on a frock, looks like... Boris Yeltsin in lipstick. There, I said it.

  • Lola : I have to warn you, Charlie from Northampton, I have a terrible habit of doing exactly the opposite of what people want of me.

  • Lola : Ladies, gentlemen and those who are yet to make up your mind.

  • Lola : Look to the heel, young man. The sex is in the heel.

  • Lola : [When looking at the first sample boot created by the Price & Sons company]  Please, God! Tell me I have not inspired something burgundy!

    Charlie Price : But they're comfy.

    Lola : [after Lola had accidentally put the sample boot onto the loudspeaker microphone button]  SEX, shouldn't be comfy!

    Mel : Thank God, I thought it was just me!

  • Lola : Put on a frock and I can sing 'Stand by Your Man' in front of five hundred strangers... Put on a pair of jeans and I can't even sodding well say hello.

  • Lola : Change your mind about someone.

  • Lola : There's a little... chill in the air... isn't there?

  • Lola : Came all this way for my advice? I feel like Oprah!

  • Charlie Price : It's what my dad wanted and all.

    Lola : Strapless cocktail dress?

  • Lola : There are some very funny people out there.

  • Lola : [regarding his broken boot heel]  Like most things in life, they cannot stand the weight of a man.

  • Lola : Northampton

    Charlie Price : Northampton

    Milan Organiser : Northampton, Northampton, Northampton

    Harold Price : Northhhhhampton

    Don : Kentucky?

  • Lola : I gave up the provinces years ago Charlie, and I've just been reminded why: Lola doesn't do North

    Charlie Price : Northampton's the Midlands

    Lola : NO Charlie; Tot'n'am Court Road is the Midlands
