• Claire Devlin - Inmate : How much time you pullin'?

  Marie Allen : One to fifteen years. But I come up for parole in ten months.

  Smoochie : Just a hot minute. What's your rap?

  Marie Allen : Robbery.

  Smoochie : Hmph. Society. Larcenists don't talk to CPs.

  Marie Allen : [not familiar with the term, looks perplexed]  "CPs"?

  Smoochie : Are you kiddin'?

  Kitty Stark : "CP" - common prostitute.

  Smoochie : Where you been livin', the moon?

  Kitty Stark : Her name's Smoochie.

  Marie Allen : Glad to meet you.

  [politely holds out her hand to shake] 

  Smoochie : [somewhat reluctantly shakes hands, then turns to Kitty Stark]  Got news for ya': she's all right.

• Smoochie : I got news for you, she's alright.

• Smoochie : She's a real lady, Georgia, only she married some guy who likes spendin' other people's dough, so he got her to write a bunch of bouncers. I got news for ya. Georgia gives this place class.

  Kitty Stark : She ain't the only one. I had two real mink coats and a closetful of black lace nighties and a shelf full of real French perfumes that my girls lifted right out of one of the swankiest stores in town.

  Smoochie : Don't rub it in. All I had was a different pair of shoes for every night.
