Review of Less Than Zero (1987) by Ashley B — 22 Dec 2008
Rip: Got a minute, sweetheart?
Julian: Surely.
Rip: We gots to talk business, friend.
Julian: Oh, no, all you need to do is relax. I'm gonna pay you back; all you have to do is *trust* me.
Rip: I don't wanna trust you, Julian, I just want my 50 K, all right?
Julian: Patience is next to Godliness, Rip, didn't I ever tell you that? Actually, it's the flip side of cleanliness, but it's still *pretty* fucking important if you ask me.
Rip: Then what the hell are we talking about, Julian?
Julian: We're talking about you giving me a G on spec.
Rip: No. No. No way.
Julian: Listen, listen...
Rip: You're crazy. Forget about it.
Julian: Come on. There's these girls... falling all over me... for some blow. Come on.
Rip: [pauses, hands him the coke] This is the last time.
Julian: As soon as the club deal goes through, I'm recashing you every penny.
Rip: I hope so.
Julian: Well, don't hope... trust!
Blair: Did you talk to Julian yet?
Clay: No.
Blair: Clay, I asked you to talk to him.
Clay: Okay, I'll call Betty Ford, you want me to get him a room, fine.
Blair: No, just talk to him, I mean, he's your friend, too.
Clay: It's funny. When you called me, I thought I was coming home to see you.
Clay: You OK?
Blair: It's the cocaine... too much speed or something.
Clay: That's a relief.
Blair: What?
Clay: Well, you're fucked up, you look like shit, but hey no problem, all you need is a better cut of cocaine.
