The Purple Rose of Cairo quotes

  • Tom Baxter: [pauses after kissing Cecilia] Where's the fade-out?

    Cecilia: What?

    Tom Baxter: Always when the kissing gets hot and heavy just before the lovemaking, there's a fadeout.

    Cecilia: Then what?

    Tom Baxter: Then we're making love in some private, perfect place.

    Cecilia: That's not how it happens here.

    Tom Baxter: What, there's no fade out?

    Cecilia: No, but when you kissed me, I felt like my heart faded out. I closed my eyes, and I was in some private place.

    Tom Baxter: How fascinating. You make love without fading out?

    Cecilia: Yes.

    Tom Baxter: Well, I can't wait to see this!

  • Gil Shepherd: I worked so hard to make him real.

    Gil's Agent: Maybe you overdid it.

    Gil Shepherd: I'll sue my dialogue coach, that louse.
