The Female Animal

Lily Frayne:
[Lily Frayne and her date, Pepe, are at the restaurant bar; Pepe looks troubled as he examines a bracelet on his wrist] I don't know why you're objecting to that slave bracelet. I buy one for all my friends. I used to wear two or three of them myself around my ankle in the old days. Everybody wears them.

Pepe, Lily's Gigolo:
Mon cher, please, I'm bored hearing about "The Stone Age."

Lily Frayne:
[shakes her diamond-covered hand at Pepe] That's where these rocks came from, lover, and don't forget it. [turns to Bartender] Darling, give Lily a shot for her bronchitis.

Bartender:
Of course, Miss Frayne.

Lily Frayne:
It's the sea air. I don't know why I live here.

Bartender:
I thought you liked the beach.

Lily Frayne:
Oh, I do, darling, I do. [glances at Pepe] But it's so boring. Nothing to do night or day but go to bed.

Bartender:
Why don't you make another picture, Miss Frayne? I thought you were great in "Salammb?."

Lily Frayne:
Lubitsch did, too, darling. Lubitsch did, too. We were giants in those days. Now you could put the whole bunch under a card table and nobody'd muss a hair. [glances at Pepe] Did you ever see me in "Salammb?," darling?

Pepe, Lily's Gigolo:
Sorry, I wasn't born then.

Lily Frayne:
[angry] Well, I was only eleven myself! They called me "Little Lily Frayne." I was the first child star ever to be chased around a desk.
