Memorable quotes from Body Double

"I do not do animal acts. I do not do S&M or any variations of that particular bent, no water sports either. I will not shave my pussy, no fistfucking and absolutely no coming in my face. I get $2000 a day and I do not work without a contract."
"Weirdo, so many weird people I should never have moved to Hollywood! Fucking freaky actors, that's what there is here. Masochistic directors! I should have known when he didn't even know what a cumshot was."
"Okay. Let's bring in the body double!"
"I'm not just a stunt cock, I'm an ACTOR!"
"As far as I'm concerned, you're the real reason Gloria Revelle got murdered. If you hadn't have been so busy getting off by peeping on her, if you'd have called the police about the Indian, Gloria Revelle would still be alive."
"Jake Scully: What a fool I am."
"Sam Bouchard: C'mon, Jake, you're too hard on yourself. These guys, they can't get a job, they put an ad in the trades, they call themselves teachers. What do they teach us? How to be more fucked up than we already are!"
"Jake Scully: [after discovering his girlfriend's infidelity] Christ, I keep seeing it: Carol lying there. Her face was glowing."
