Jack: Oh, I uhm... I finished a song. I think it's pretty good.
Ali Rose: [chuckles] Can I hear it?
Jack: No. But...
[pause, handing Ali a songsheet]
Jack: you can sing it.

Nikki: [Waiting for Tess as she is exiting the club] Tess, we need to talk.
Tess: No.
Nikki: Yes!
Tess: I'm tired, Nikki.
Nikki: Well, then you can just listen. We built this club together and, and then, some girl just shows up from out of nowhere, who hasn't even paid her dues - -!
Tess: How do you know what dues she's paid? This chick doesn't sing that way because she's had it easy.
Nikki: "They don't come to here us sing, Nikki"! Or... or, or, is that... is that just bullshit, now?
Tess: You know, you're drunk. Go inside and call a cab.
Nikki: I WILL NOT BE UPSTAGED BY SOME SLUT WITH MUTANT LUNGS!
Tess: Then leave!
Nikki: [Gasps] You'd ruin our friendship over some girl you barely know? So much for loyalty!
Tess: Since when did you know anything about loyalty? How many Goddamn times have I peeled you off the sidewalk? How many blackouts? How many times have I held your head over the toilet bowl while you threw up everything, but your memories?
Nikki: OKAY FINE! But I will not stand in the back, Tess, you need to fix this-...
Tess: You think you're my only problem? I'm about to lose my club! I'm about to lose the only thing that means anything to me! I have more to worry about than trying to keep you from pouring Tequila on your Cheerios!
Nikki: Fine. Fine. I QUIT!
Tess: I'm glad!
[Nikki gets into her car and starts the engine]
Tess: Nikki, don't drive.
Nikki: By the way, I slept with Vince the night after your honeymoon.
[She makes a U-Turn and begins driving off in a rage, with Tess bashing Nikki's backdoor window with a crowbar]
Nikki: YOU CRAZY BITCH!
