• Ophelia : [Ophelia notices Louis watching her undress]  By the way, food and rent aren't the only things around here that cost money. You sleep on the couch.

• Billy Ray Valentine : [as Louis is choking him]  lt - was - the - Dukes! lt - was - the - Dukes!

  Louis Winthorpe III : YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, VALENTINE!

  Billy Ray Valentine : [gasping, after Ophelia and Coleman stop Louis from choking Billy Ray]  The Dukes used us as guinea pigs, man! It was an experiment, to see how our lives would turn out. They made a bet.

  Coleman : I'm afraid it's true, sir.

  Ophelia : I believe him, Louie.

  Louis Winthorpe III : The Dukes... ruined my life... over a bet. For how much?

  Billy Ray Valentine : A dollar.

  Louis Winthorpe III : One dollar. Fine. That's the way they want it - no problem.

  [cut to Louis cleaning and loading an array of shotguns in the den] 

• Louis : My God. The Dukes are going to corner the entire frozen orange juice market!

  Ophelia : Unless somebody STOPS them.

  Coleman : Or *beats* them TO it.

  [all turn and look at him] 

  Coleman : Eggnog?

• Coleman : My life's savings, sir. Try not to lose it.

  Billy Ray Valentine : Lose it? Why, in a couple hours you gonna be the richest butler that ever lived, man.

  Ophelia : I worked real hard for this, Louie. I hope you know what you're doing.

  Louis Winthorpe III : Thank you, Ophelia.

  Ophelia : What are you doing?

  Billy Ray Valentine : [Their train number is called over the loudspeaker]  That's us, Louie.

  Louis Winthorpe III : Coleman, could you hold this?

  [handing him Ophelia's envelope of money before he kisses her for good luck. Then just before they embrace she takes her chewing gum out of her mouth, smiles and hands it to Coleman, who rolls his eyes upwards in subtle gee-thanks look] 

  Coleman : [He turns to Ophelia]  I could use a stiff drink. Would you care to join me?

  [With a slight smile to each other, they lock arms walking of together] 

• Ophelia : The only thing I've got going for me, is this body, this face, and what I got up here. I don't do drugs. And I don't have a pimp.

  Louis Winthorpe III : [shocked and aghast]  You're a - PROSTITUTE!

  Ophelia : This place is a dump... but it's cheap, it's clean, and it's all mine.

• Ophelia : [to Louis]  Give me your hand. Soft hands - and a manicure. Never done a hard day's work in your life, have you?

• Ophelia : [reading Louis' palm]  You've never done a day's work in your life.
