Quotes

Femmes au bord de la crise de nerfs

Edit
  • Pepa: Hello. I'm the mother of the notorious Crossroads Killer. When my son comes home after one of his famous crimes, his clothes are just filthy.
  • [Pepa holds up a bloody shirt. The police arrive]
  • Policía I: Where are the clothes your son wore...
  • Policía II: At the time of the murder?
  • [Pepa takes a clean shirt out of the dryer]
  • Pepa: Right here. Sparkling clean.
  • Policía I: No trace of blood.
  • Policía II: Or guts.
  • Policía I: Unbelievable!
  • [Pepa holds up a box of detergent]
  • Pepa: Ecce Homo. It's unbelievable.
  • Iván: How many men have you had to forget?
  • Pepa: As many as the women you remember.
  • Policía I: What's going on?
  • Pepa: Nothing. Just discussing the lady's dress.
  • Candela: [in tears] It's awful!
  • Carlos: It's only a dress.
  • Candela: But it's awful!
  • Candela: Men keep taking advantage of me. I always realize it when it's too late. Look how the Arab world treated me. I sure didn't deserve that.
  • Pepa: You could have killed yourself!
  • Candela: That was the idea. I'm desperate.
  • Pepa: So am I, but I don't jump off terraces.
  • Candela: I didn't know where to go. I couldn't face my folks. It's bad enough that I became a model.
  • Pepa: Follow that cab!
  • Cabdriver: I thought this only happened in the movies.
  • Pepa: That lady is dangerous.
  • Cabdriver: No lady's dangerous if you know how to handle her.
  • Pepa: I'm sick of being good.
  • Paulina Morales: You're weak, Iván.
  • Iván: Yes, sweetheart.
  • Paulina Morales: Don't agree with me.
  • Iván: But you're right.
  • Paulina Morales: Sometimes I like to be wrong.
  • Pepa: For two days everyone has been saying no to me. Now it's my turn to say no.
  • Portera Testiga de Jehová: I'd like to lie! The bad thing about my religion is that we can't.
  • Ana: I'm fed up. I'm gonna get myself some quick cash, buy myself his bike and split. With a bike, who needs a man?
  • Pepa: Learning mechanics is easier than learning male psychology. You can figure out a bike, but you can never figure out a man.
  • Carlos: [Carrying Marisa, who has passed out, onto the patio] But a minute ago...
  • Pepa: A minute ago she wanted to go home but since you ignored her, she got depressed and had some gazpacho.
  • Carlos: Ah. That made her fall asleep?
  • Pepa: Yes. It was spiked with barbiturates. Sorry.
  • Iván: Life means nothing without you. - Will you marry me? - A million nights wouldn't be enough - I can't live without you. - I love you, desire you, need you. - That night in the jungle was heaven. - Let's get married again. - You're the geisha of my life. Sayonara. - With you by my side, I don't need success. - I'm willing to accept you as you are. - Baby, some things are unmistakably American. - I'm all yours. - I accept you as you are.
  • Carlos: [after finding out the gazpacho is spiked with morphine] Why did you do that? Were you trying to kill yourself too?
  • Pepa: No. It was for your dad. He loves gazpacho.
  • Carlos: What happened?
  • Pepa: She fell asleep.
  • Candela: So suddenly?
  • Pepa: Yes. The strangest things can happen suddenly.
  • Paulina Morales: She must turn herself in, go to jail, and let the jury decide her case.
  • Pepa: I don't understand.
  • Paulina Morales: She's committed a crime.
  • Pepa: Her only crime was falling in love and being afraid. I'd do the same.
  • Paulina Morales: I'm sure.
  • Pepa: Did Iván call again?
  • Secretaria: No. Forget him, honey.
  • Pepa: I'm working on it.
  • Candela: Three months ago, I spent a weekend with a guy. I didn't know his name or anything, but, after he left, I couldn't get him out of my mind.
  • Pepa: What happened that weekend?
  • Candela: Nothing special. We fucked the whole weekend. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps. It was like a revelation. Like making love for the first time. I loved it.
  • Pepa: Sex means a lot at your age.
  • Candela: Because he's like a terrorist, he's more intense than other guys.
  • Candela: He confessed that they are Shiite terrorists. I flipped. I really did. I knew it could be dangerous, but I didn't think about it. What's worse, they had weapons and were planning to attack somewhere. Then I said to him, "You should have told me about this." That's when I realized it was a ploy. He didn't love me. He used me.
  • Pepa: We'll come back in a week. You'll go to to court and tell everything, except for the fucking, and that'll be that.
  • Portera Testiga de Jehová: [singing] I love the sound of the trumpets on Judgment Day...
  • Lucía: [to the police] Take me back to the hospital, that's my home.
  • Iván: How many men have you had to forget? Say something nice. Lie. Tell me you've been waiting for me - and you'd die if I didn't return. Say you still love me as I love you.
  • Lucía: [on the phone] How dare you call here!
  • Pepa: Don't yell at me. I just had a fainting spell.
  • Lucía: I don't care if you drop dead!
  • Pepa: Look, Iván and I are finished.
  • Lucía: Fuck off!
  • Pepa: Fuck off yourself!
  • Secretaria: You're making a fool of yourself.
  • Pepa: Well, a little more won't hurt.
  • Pepa: Bring me my tranquilizers from the kitchen.
  • Pepa: Young people don't know how to fight for things. You think life is all pleasure. Well, it isn't. You have to suffer a lot.
  • Pepa: In my house, I collaborate with whomever I want.
  • [last lines]
  • Marisa: I was a virgin this morning, but I don't think I am now.
  • Pepa: Don't tell me one of these jerks...
  • Marisa: No. It was in my dream!
  • Pepa: Great! Actually, you've lost that hard look that virgins have. Virgins are awful.
  • Pepa: You must think I'm crazy.
  • Carlos: No. You're just nervous from a lack of sleep.
  • Candela: You're a kissing fanatic!
  • Pepa: Lady, you're nuts! Between Iván and me, there's nothing but pain.
  • Pepa: You just woke up, but I haven't slept in two days.
  • Taxista: I'm a taxi driver, not a bounty hunter!
  • Ana: She's going for his balls!
  • Pepa: I think she's just trying to hang on.
  • Pepa: I'm not interested in Shiites.
