- Snider: You won't forget Paul Snider.
- Snider: I found her, you didn't. I found her.
- Snider: I have this feeling about Dorothy. This hunch. She's gonna be a big star - in the movies or on TV - I don't know. But, a really big star! But, she's gonna need help. You can't do it alone. You need somebody!
- Dorothy's Mother: And you're gonna be that somebody?
- Snider: I know all the tricks. I know all the con games. I know all the bullshit and there's plenty of that, believe me. Together - we could be somebody. People would know who we are. People would know our names. People would treat us that special way - the way they treat stars!
- Dorothy Stratten: Playboy's motto is: the girl next door. They look for girls that are wholesome and fresh and young and naive. They look for all of that. So, most of those girls do - have that type of background.
- Dorothy Stratten: It took me five months to shoot my Playmate of the Year layout. I shot over 20,000 pictures. It's perfection! They don't go for just - great nude shots. They go for art! Perfect - art. And I'm proud of that.
- Snider: Well, you can take your magazine, your mansion and your movies and shove'em *all* up your ass now.
- Snider: [after Dorothy strips on the bed] So you're gonna do me a big favor, huh? Ok, that's me - a charity case.
- [first lines]
- Dorothy Stratten: When the editor of Playboy told I'd won the Playmate of the Year, the first thing out of my mouth was,"Are you sure?"
- Nightclub Owner: He had something to do with those big auto shows. He supplied hostesses, models, something. He had hots for cars. Cars and girls. Girls and cars.
- Nightclub Owner: One thing about that little cocker, he could remember everybody's name. If he just met 'em. If he met 'em five years ago. He always remembered their name! I admire that. It's a real gift. Really.
- Snider: Bastards! Everybody kissin' your ass. Everybody on their fuckin' knees. Well, not me. I don't kiss ass for nobody!
- Snider: [derisively told that Dorothy is "just a baby"] Get 'em while they're young. Right?
- Dorothy Stratten: I was working in this Dairy Queen, part time, while I went to high school. And one day this gentleman walked in with this gorgeous blonde. She had a fur coat on. They both had fur coats on!
- Snider: If you like Italian food, I know a real knock-out place. I'll take you tomorrow night.
- Dorothy Stratten: I like pizza.
- Snider: Well, this is Northern Italian. Three stars.
- Snider: [singing] Here comes the sun, Let me, Here comes the sun
- [talking]
- Snider: I always screw that up.
- [singing]
- Snider: Sun, And I say, it's alright, It's alright, It's alright
- [talking]
- Snider: Well, that's enough of that. I don't think I'm any threat to Paul McCartney, do you?
- Photographer: He really believed in this girl. Or, else, he just wanted to screw her. I'm still not sure which.
- Dorothy's Mother: I don't see any naked pictures of you here, Paul. I don't see any pictures of you with your privates hanging out for the whole world to look at!
- Snider: Let's get the camera. I'm willing.
- Dorothy's Mother: Oh, I bet you are.
- Snider: Do you know who reads Playboy?
- Dorothy's Mother: No. Tell me.
- Snider: Movie producers, directors, agents, TV people. The people who produce "Charlie's Angels" read Playboy.
- Snider: Straighten up, Angel. You're slouching.
- Dorothy Stratten: [straightens up] Better?
- Snider: Makes you look taller. Makes you look like a Queen.
- Snider: Watch out for that smile. He's a real cocksman. He's got a *bad* reputation.
- Snider: What's he like?
- Dorothy Stratten: Mr. Hefner? Nice, like I said. But, I get the feeling that everybody trembles a little when they mention his name. You know, "Mr. Hefner wants to see you."
- Snider: Was he wearing pajamas?
- Dorothy Stratten: How'd you know?
- Photographer: Playboy is a very special magazine, Dorothy. There's no other magazine like it. All the writers, editors, photographers, all the girls, et cetera, we all have a very special relationship. It's not like any other magazine. We're all like a - well, we're just like a family.
- Exotic Dancer: You know, Snider, I have this theory about you.
- Snider: Oh, you do, do you?
- Exotic Dancer: I think that the reason why you're so good in bed is because you just plain try harder. I mean, baby, you put in an eight hour day in fifteen minutes!
- Exotic Dancer: [after Snider listens to his answering machine] That must be number one. I bet you're as *scared* as hell she was out last night doin' what we just did!
- Snider: Look, I got to get up early. So, why don't you get the fuck outta here.
- Dorothy Stratten: What's wrong with him?
- Exotic Dancer: Well, he's got the personality of a pimp. That was improper. I shouldn't have said that.
- Dorothy Stratten: Oh, Mr. Hefner! That's just the way he used to dress. He doesn't dress like that any more.
- Snider: I'm gonna get a license plate that spells out Star 80. It's fame-fucking-tastic! You know, S-T-A-R eight zero. That's you! Star 80! Everybody in this town is gonna know who you are.
- Geb: The Rolls is an investment, for me. It's an investment. I'm not into status symbols, like most people out here. It's an investment. Okay?
- Geb: Dorothy had already done the centerfold, Miss August. She had already done parts in "Fantasy Island" and "Buck Rogers." Things were moving fast for her. I became very fond of her. She was handling her public visibility very well. She was maturing very fast for 19. But, to me, she was just a friend. Understand? Just a friend.
- Geb: What does she say?
- Snider: Not too much. She always says, eh, she was working on Aram's film all day and doesn't feel like talking.
- Geb: Why can't you accept that?
- Snider: She calls it film! Christ, she never said film before. She always said movie or picture; but, never film. I bet he calls it film.
- Snider: You know, they're into that sort of thing out here. Just give 'em white teeth, a suntan, and some muscles and *bang* you're a hit.
- Geb: I can take a bragging Snider. I can take a conniving Snider... I just can't stomach a sentimental Snider.
- Robin: You don't suppose he'd do anything crazy, do you?
- Geb: Like what?
- Robin: I don't know. Like, hurt himself.
- Geb: Not if it means mussin' his hair.
- [last lines]
- Dorothy Stratten: I'll go shopping in the store and I'll see people go, "Hey, that's Dorothy Stratten." Or, "Hey, can we have a picture of you? Can we have an autograph?" Or, even in the airport, you know, people will - rushing up to me to get my autograph or something. That's really exciting for me!
- Paul: You want her pal? You can have her, but you're gonna have to pay!
- Dorothy's Mother: I don't know. She wouldn't even walk around the house in her nightgown before she met you.
- Dorothy's Mother: [re legal guardian's consent, tearfully:] I never signed it. Somehow it got signed, yeah. But I didn't sign it! I can only guess how...!
