Foster Prentiss quotes from Femme Fatales

Can I help you?

Jessica

I think we can help each other. I hear you're looking for a new assistant. I've seen your act. You're very good. But you could be great with the right help.

Yeah, I'm not looking for any help. Thank you.

Jessica

I look fabulous in fishnets, and even better without them. Won't you consider letting me audition, or at least fetching me that towel?

Jessica

By the way, my name is Jessica.

Pleased to meet you, Jessica. [laughs]

I don't know how this can be happening to me! I saw her! I saw what she did and I saw her kill a guy! She knows that I know. She knows I know. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do now? [yells at the top of his lungs] You just tell me what– [Jessica strikes Foster in the face] Bloody hell! You hit me?! Jeez, are you crazy?!!

Jessica

Calm the hell down! Nobody killed anybody. You didn't see anything. That was incredible! Whatever hell scam you're pulling is working! Did you see their faces out there? They're eating it up.

Yeah – no, no, it wasn't a scam. What I felt out there was real.

Jessica

Sure it was. But now... you gotta keep your eye on the prize. If we're gonna score any of that rich bitch's cash, she needs to believe that you can talk to her dead daughter. So get out there and finish the damn show.

Okay, okay. Yeah, okay.

Jessica

So the man you apparently saw is Jay Roma. He started Crazy Chixx. He was murdered a few months back, and his death was streamed on the Internet.

Why is this happening to me, though? That's what I don't understand.

Jessica

The other tart is Violet MacReady. She is a person of interest in two recent killings: one of a local, prestigious surgeon; the other – some two-bit gangbanger.

You know, I never thought this was possible. Why have I been given such a powerful gift?

Jessica

The question you should be asking yourself... is, how can we exploit it?

Exploit it?!

Jessica

Jeez! Do I have to spell everything out to you? Blackmail. You're already a fraud. What's another sin, or three?

You don't believe me, do you?

Jessica

[takes Foster's hand and holds it up to her face] Do you see anything interesting, swami?

[after receiving visions of what Jessica recently did, finally realizes the truth] You killed your boyfriend, set him up and sold his organs for spare parts!

Jessica

How did you...?! No one knows about that.

I told you, the visions are real, Jessica.

Jessica

You know what, Foster? I think we're gonna be really, really rich.

Firstly, of course, I would like to apologize for keeping you waiting so long. But I bet you're wondering what you're both doing here, right?

No kidding, Sherlock.

Well... you do have a temper on you, don't you? See, I invited you both here to give you a chance to move on with the rest of your life.

Tiffany

I'm so gone. [starts to leave]

Jessica

[stops Tiffany from leaving] Shut up and listen.

Yeah, I think you should listen to her. Or, of course, I could just call the authorities and tell them about Jay Roma.

Tiffany

Who?

Jessica

Don't be coy, darling. The world may not miss a smut peddler like that, but it still won't get you off with the cops. [turns to Violet] And you, Violet. You're not as sweet and innocent as you look, are you?

Ooh, someone messed with the wrong nurse. Eh, chica?

Violet

How do you know all this?

Because I'm the Amazing Mysterium! And I know all.

Violet

What do you want with us, Mr. Amazing?

What do I want? What could I possibly want? What could I want? How about... money! That's exactly what I want.

Violet

Well, you better take another look into your crystal ball, because I'm not an ATM. I'm broke.

Tiffany

And I'm still trying to pay off my student loans.

Violet

So you've got the wrong chica, ese.

[slams the table with his hand] Well, then you better find some money fast!! Both of you got 48 hours or the next time you sit down with somebody, it'll be with a public defender! [calms down] Why don't you just think about it a little bit, OK? Good afternoon, ladies. I hope you enjoy the show.
