The Beautician and the Beast
1997
(Motto for her cosmetology class) Joy Miller: Flashy, not trashy.
Kleist: In Slovetzia, hard work today, happiness tomorrow.
Joy Miller: Put on your sunblock because it's rays today, raisins tomorrow.
Joy Miller: In our country we can marry who we want. I decided on John Kennedy Jr., and while he's in denial, I'll travel.
Grushinsky: Oh, you Americans and your positive thinking. There are some situations that a big toothed person cannot get you out of.
(Trying to talk Pochenko into shaving) Joy Miller: OK, a lot of great men had mustaches. Hitler, Franco... Boris Pochenko: Einstein! Joy Miller: Oh, and that's who you wanna look like?
Joy Miller: It's control-top pantyhose. Holds you in like a stuffed sausage.
Grushinsky: I thought you teach science! Joy Miller: TEACH it? I didn't even PASS it!
Joy Miller: Could I possibly get a blanket without a head?
Joy Miller: Who are you and what did you do with the little Nazi kid?
Boris Pochenko: I don't know where anything is in this kitchen Joy Miller: Oh come on, I can find food in Ghandi's house, are you kidding me?
Joy Miller: Oh honey, talk to the hand, the ears ain't listening!
Boris Pochenko: Oh my, call an ambulance! She doesn't know what to say!
(Pochenko gestures to hit Katrina) Joy Miller: What are you doing? Boris Pochenko: You do not understand Joy Miller: Oh no? You have the temper of an eight year old, your own children are scared to DEATH of you! And you hit girls! Tell me when I'm getting warm! Boris Pochenko: This whole thing is none of your business! Joy Miller: You know maybe you're right. Because even if you can't see that doing the right thing even when you have nothing to gain, is what makes you... a mench, and decent, and civilized! I can't have anything to do with you Boris Pochenko: They boy will remain in prison, it's none of your business Joy Miller: You know everyone is right about you... you are a beast...
Joy Miller: It's like Paris 50 years ago. Judy Miller: There were Nazis in Paris 50 years ago.
Boris Pochenko: What a nice man that hermit was. I didn't even know I had a hermit!
Boris Pochenko: (talking to Svetlana) Hello how are you? (silence) I killed a cow right over there. (more silence) It was very nice meeting you!
