"Scratch my belly, my leg'll shake."


That was a fun, frisky come on line by Duke. I also liked it when he said "keep the matches, lady. You're about as cold as a cry for help."

I can't imagine why he would go for her in the first place. There was nothing appealing about her.

I think Psycho III, has quite a sharp and witty script and it is quite quotable. Jeff Fahey was a scuzzbucket in this movie, but he was also cute and a huge asset. Made up for the bland and anemic presence of Diana Scarwid. What was Perkins thinking in casting her? I guess she had the Marion Crane look about her, with none of Leigh's talent. 

I like your idea about having Susan Tyrell. She would have fit in perfect with the weirdness of this movie and even jazzed things up a little bit. SuSu was such a colorful, truly one of a kind character that she might have even got her own spinoff movie out of the deal.

Yeah there was nothing special about her, and she should consider herself lucky a guy is even hitting on her. I agree with the other poster too, good witty script.

Yes, I also agree that the dialogue was pretty sharp.

Only woman in the bar. Or at least that's what it looked like at the time. Not sure when that other group of ladies entered or why he didn't see them to start. But she wasn't that bad looking, just not dressed in any attractive way or with an appealing personality.

I thought his lines and come-on's were funny too.
