Hannah Baxter quotes from Secret Diary of a Call Girl

Hannah

[to Ben] I've got another client now. First one in 10 days. In whore terms, I'm practically a virgin.

Hannah

My problem with the job market is that I'm used to thinking on my back, not my feet.

Hannah

[at Bambi's wedding] Weddings bring out the best in people... even if you don't follow all the traditions. Who said you had to be a virgin to wear white? You don't have to be a prince to marry a princess. And not all fairy godmothers carry a wand.

Hannah

[to Duncan, after learning he had a professional appointment with Bambi] I'm a whore... who has sex for money, who gets judged and looked down on. But you know what? When I look at you, I can hold my head up high.

Hannah

Sometimes you value least the people who love you most. Until you remember that without them, your life is worth nothing.

Hannah

Some choices we make for ourselves in life. And some we make for other people. Not because we don't love them, but because we do. The only way we know it's right is if it lets us stay true to ourselves. But we can't regret our choices. The past is behind us. All we have is the present. And the future. Whatever that may bring.

Ben

I need to ask you something. It's a favour. You don't have to do it if you don't wanna do it.

Hannah

You're not gonna ask me to have sex with you and Vanessa, are you?

Ben

What? No.

Hannah

Whew. [laughs]

Ben

Others may pay hundreds for you, but I had you when all it took was half a lager and a couple of Marlboro Lights.

Ben

Will you be my best man?

Ben

[after Hannah took a break from her work] So, have you gone back to being an amateur?

Hannah

Temporarily.

Ben

Is that just so you can have sex in the Olympics?

Hannah

Only if the government covers all my training costs.

Hannah

[at the movies] So, what are we gonna see again?

It's, uh, a French-Canadian documentary about Alzheimer's. It's hilarious.

Hannah

Really?

No! No, it's a comedy. Time Out calls it "the perfect date movie," so no pressure. I've never seen a movie without Will Ferrell or a talking dog before.

Hannah

Oh, I'm touched.

You should be.

Hannah

My sister's still here and you can't meet her. Now I've got to go.

Bambi

Why? Is it because I'm common?

Hannah

What?!

Bambi

Is it because I'm black?

Hannah

No, it's because you're a whore, you muppet.

Hannah

I think we're just confusing things a bit.

Duncan

What do you mean?

Hannah

I think you wanna be having sex with Belle, not me.

Ben

Life is messy, Han. What's the alternative? You hide away in your perfect house all alone?

Hannah

I'm just scared.

Ben

I know, Hannah.

Hannah

You don't... You know, you have... you have other people. You have friends and family who know you. They know everything about you. And I just have you.

Ben

And you'll still have me.

Hannah

Not if I fuck it up, I won't. And I always do. You know, my job—

Ben

Your job is just your job, Hannah. It's not you. I can handle it.

Hannah

If I lose you, Ben, I'll have nobody.

Ben

You will not lose me.

Hannah

But I might.

Ben

Hannah, there are thousands of reasons why we shouldn't try. There are thousands more why we should.

Hannah

Ben, she's 19 years old!

Ben

Yeah, and she's just had a fucking massive shock! I think you forget how hard it is, Han. Not everyone—

Hannah

Oh, God, give me a break.

Ben

Not everyone can take this kind of shit in their stride. The lies you're told, the lies you have to tell, the constant fucking insecurity. Do you know what, if you think about it, this is a completely fucked-up situation.

Hannah

Yeah? Well, then maybe you shouldn't have moved in with me and my fucked-up situation.
