Hustling (1975 TV Movie)

Lee Remick: Fran Morrison

Quotes 

• Fran Morrison : I just don't get it?

  Keogh : Get what?

  Fran Morrison : The whole logic of law enforcement. You don't arrest the pimps, you don't arrest the johns, you don't touch the owners of these fleabag hotels, but you're going to beat this monolith by busting Wanda and Dee Dee and forty other girls a night and tossing them in the bullpen. If you really wanted to stop illegal racetrack gambling would you put the racehorses in jail?

  Keogh : [laughs]  Whoever said anything about logic.

• Fran Morrison : A thousand prostitutes! Do you have any solutions?

  Keogh : Sure! Every commuter should take one home.

• [after a prostitution task force press conference] 

  Fran Morrison : I haven't heard so many numbers in all my life.

  Keogh : Come on, Morrison.

  [leads her out of the press room] 

  Keogh : Oh, it makes them feel secure. You know, when you're a patrolman pounding a beat, you carry a gun. When you're a deputy inspector, you carry statistics.

• Fran Morrison : But Lester, there isn't a woman alive who hasn't had the fantasy of going into a room with a stranger and selling herself for money. Or the nightmare.

  Fran Morrison : I look at that girl and I wonder: what separates us?

  Lester Traube : Desperation.

  Fran Morrison : Or guts.

  Lester Traube : Maybe just a case of VD.
