Big Edie Beale: (looks at her cat) It's all in the movie (laughs)
Little Edie Beale: You can always wear the skirt as a cape...Mother wanted me to wear a kimono but we had a fight.

Little Edie: I'll come down as soon as I put on some lipstick!
Brilliant!
"... David, where'ya been all my life?! Where'ya been, where'ya been?!"
"... mother darling, it's the Maysles!"
"... that cements the deal."
"...I love Jimmy Marsden so much I want to kick him in the face!" - Adam Shankman to Nikki
I did like that lipstick line. And "...All I needed was this man!"

"David, Al...it's an arh-tistic smash!"
"Now somebody's finally singing MY song!"
"Oh, what a WHOPPER!" LOL at the way Mrs. Beale says it!
"What color would you say that was?" "Blue." "You're exactly right. Sapphire." That summed up Mrs. Beale for me, because she saw the world as she wanted to see it regardless of opinion.
And "It's all in the movie" is a perfect way to say goodbye to Mrs. Beale. Everything she wanted to say really was all in the documentary.
Big Edie to Little Edie...
'You're an acquired taste, babe.'
"Things just accumulate after Labor Day!" had me roaring.
shareThere are so many great lines in this film, but most of my favorites are based more on the way the lines are delivered by these two great actresses rather than the actual lines themselves.
For example with Jessica Lange - I loved the way she said, "Go get some ice CREAM!" and "That's Nuts!" and "What a whopper!" and "Oh soft shoe, Edie - how can you resist?"
And with Drew Barrymore - I loved the way she said, "Poet, Temptress..." to the boy on the beach and "Thank You!" to that random stranger in the restaurant audition scene for Max Gordon and how "I suppose mother never wanted me to have anybody decent!"
They are such great performances here, they can turn every line into a gem.
Little Edie: Is it true that Jack Kennedy gave you gonorrhea?
This so a LMAO moment! OMG, I wonder if she really did asked Jackie O
Little Edie: They were setting up for Joe first before they ever set up for Jack...if Joe wasn't killed in that war. I've could have been first lady. I was the golden girl.
Little Edie: We're not harbouring any cats!
Big Edie: You can have your cake and eat it too, dear.
Little Edie: Aren't they divine?
Young Jackie Bouvier: Divine
Big Edie: Joe Kennedy! Ha, to think he was going to marry you. You never even met him!
Little Edie: One time at a party in Princeton. I might have mother darling. I could've

The scene toward the beginning of the movie, when the Maysles' brothers are "negotiating" with the two Beale's ladies about the filming of their documentary:
Little Edie: "Oh, and I'll need a clause in my contract that lets me do roles in other movies........"
A great line........one that is both hilarious, and utterly heart-breaking at the same time.
To those who haven't already, I highly recommend tracking down the original (1975) documentary. To see that, is to better appreciate the amazing job that was done with this "re-creation"......
There are so many great lines in this movie. Here are some I can recall:
Little Edie: "Well look what the cat dragged in. It's the Maysles! I was just thinking about you. What brings you to Grey Gardens?"
Little Edie: "This is the best costume for the day, because I don't like women in skirts..."
Little Edie" "All I needed was this man, David"
Little Edie: "I'll be down just a soon as I put on some lipstick!"
Little Edie: "Is it true that Jack Kennedy gave you gonorrhea?"
Big Edie: "Nobody stuck anybody any where!"
Big Edie: "What a whopper!"
