Quotes 

• Marie : I take lives.

  Joe : Ya well, if you were perfect you wouldn't still be single.

• [last lines] 

  Marie : He made me feel... alive. And I thought, 'why not?'

• [Marie, a vampire, after seeing Mafia types in the paper] 

  Marie : I was sad, I was starved. It was time to treat myself. Then I though - "What about... Italian!"

• Marie : When you are alone eternally, you live for the comfort of the senses: food, sex. I'd become very selective and it was getting harder for me to find food, even living in the city. My choosiness about food cost me my lover, and without him there is no sex.

• Marie : [about Macelli]  If you had just left him to me, I would have stopped him before he fled. Now he's a hundred times more dangerous.

  Joe : Who did Macelli eat?

  Marie : Some guy named Manny. An innocent person dead because *you* screwed up!

  Joe : Manny Bergman? He wasn't so innocent. He's a lawyer.

  Marie : Maybe he's not dead. Maybe I have to finish him too.

  Joe : Or what? He becomes like Macelli, or he becomes like you?

  Marie : Macelli's nothing like me! He's a cold-blooded killer!

  Joe : And what are you?

• Joe : You lost a lot of blood. Are you sure you don't need more?

  Marie : Don't worry. You're not my type.

• Marie : You dress like a pimp and talk like a goon. What makes you news?

• Marie : [distorted voice]  Stay away from me, or I'll kill you!

• Sal Macelli : Prepare yourself for a little bit of Heaven.

  [presents a dish of mussels and garlic] 

  Marie : Non for me thanks.

  Sal Macelli : Hey, mangia, mangia. You're a good looking broad but I gotta tell you, a little meat on the bones it never goes out of style. Mussels and garlic, from Munafo's for Christ's sake, come on.

• Gus : [holding a baseball bat]  I'll swing on you!

  Marie : [smiles]  I'm a girl.

  [Gus swings the bat at Marie, who catches it and knocks Gus out with the handle] 

  Joe : Some girl.
