Priscilla Beaulieu quotes from Elvis (TV miniseries)

Back in Memphis, before things got complicated. I used to go to this park with a friend of mine, and we'd just sit there and look up at the stars and dream, you know?

Another girl?

[laughs] Well, yes, another girl. We just sit and throw pebbles in the river, and talk, like we're talking now. [pause] I miss that.

Do I remind you of her?

No, you're nothing like her. But you remind me of those times.

Good times, I hope?

Yeah, they were good times. I wasn't sure about how good they were back then, but now when I look back on it... Yeah, they were. I mean, we were poor. Real poor. But momma was there. And I was happy, just lookin' at the stars and dreamin' my dream.

Like now?

Like now.

[after a song] So what did you think of the song?

I liked it, it was really sweet. I prefer the fast ones, though, like "Jailhouse Rock". Why don't you do more songs like that?

[shouting] Dammit! I didn't ask you to tell me how to sing! I just asked you if you liked it that's all! I get enough amateur opinions, I don't need one from you!

I'm sorry, Satnin. Come here. [Priscilla shakes her head] Come on.

I'm sorry, it's just...I just finished that recording session and I'm real proud of it. Better than the hogwash they give me to sing in them movies. [angrily] Stupid movies, stupid songs! And each one makes more money than the last, so I don't get to tour anymore. But I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you, I promise. And when we get to Vegas, I'm gonna get you the best dress money can buy.

[after reading a false article about him and Ann-Margret getting engaged] That is an outrageous lie! I can't believe she'd say that!

So it's true.

No, we're not engaged.

But your seeing her! Those gossip rags were true! Why doesn't she take her ass back to Sweden where she belongs!

[grabs Priscilla] Look, dammit! I didn't know things were gonna get out of hand. I wanna woman to understand that things like this might happen. Are you going to be that woman or not? It's over, Cilla. I swear to you, it's over. Forgive me. Please?

I'll go to LA. I'll get this thing straighten out.
