Tipping the Velvet
2002 (TV)
Nancy Nan Astley: Don't you know? Didn't she tell you... Walter Bliss: She told me that you were sweethearts... of a kind. Nancy Nan Astley: (despondent) Of a kind? Did she tell you that we fuck each other? Walter Bliss: (calmly) I don't care to use such language, Nan... but even if I did, I wouldn't use that term. I think you'll find you need a man to do that.
Nancy Nan Astley: But I didn't want to be her sister... I wanted to be her sweetheart!
Diana Lethaby: (after her and Nan's first romp) Oh, you exquisite little tart!
Florence Banner: (after overhearing a prostitute in the women's bar talk about an easy and enjoyable job, Florence looks truly puzzled) Tipping the velvet? Why what ever can THAT be? Nancy Nan Astley: (rather surprised at the question) You don't know? Florence Banner: (Smiling) Well it sounds like something to do with dress making or millinary, but it can't be. No one would pay to watch that. Nancy Nan Astley: (Laughing) No. It isn't. Florence Banner: Well what then? Florence Banner: (Nan has showed Florence the tip of her tongue, then pointedly nodded and looked at Florence's lap) Oh! (she says, shocked but somewhat titilated)
Kitty Butler: Like a mermaid.
