Fading Gigolo

Murray:
Yeah, she's my doctor, but in today's world she could be a psychopathic axe murderer.

Fioravante:
If you're a pimp, you gotta have a name.

Selima:
Do you have any idea what goes on inside a woman's head?

Fioravante:
If I did, I wouldn't be here.

Avigal:
You bring magic to the lonely?

Fioravante:
That's one way to put it.

Murray:
[Shomrim patrollers surround him] What is this? I think you've got the wrong guy. I've already been circumsized!

Othella:
If you hurt a hair on his head, I will pull a Michael Corleone on you.

Dovi:
Michael Corleone? Who's that? Is that a threat?

Ancient Rabbi:
Murray Schwartz, are you proud to be a Jew?

Murray:
Proud, and also scared.

Dr. Parker:
He's in love.

Selima:
You think like real love?

Dovi:
You're not really Jewish are you?

Fioravante:
I'm not sure.

Dovi:
Huh.

Murray:
This could definitely be the beginning of a very beautiful relationship between the three of us.

Murray:
A gigolo? You know, it's in the music business. You know, there's the music, the lyrics... and the gigolo.

[first lines]

Murray:
My grandfather started the shop. My father had it. And now - I - have to - close it. This is the end of an era, my friend. Let me tell ya, now a days only rare people buy rare books.

Fioravante:
We'll get back on our feet.

Fioravante:
How long do you known me?

Murray:
I've known you since you're a kid; since you broke into this bookstore and tried to rob it.

Selima:
Is it you?

Fioravante:
Virgil.

Selima:
Virgil?

Fioravante:
Virgil Howard.

Selima:
I thought it was Fioravante.

Fioravante:
Once.

Selima:
Oh, I see. A new day and new name. All of us have so many people inside of us, bursting to get out.

Selima:
A woman is meant to be looked at. Or else she will just fade away.

Dr. Parker:
You know, you're top shelf. Hard to reach. Makes you so good.

Fioravante:
[turns and walks away without a word]

Fioravante:
From the rose comes the thorn. From the thorn comes the rose .

Ancient Rabbi:
And you allowed yourself to be touched?

Avigal:
Yes.

Ancient Rabbi:
And what, may I ask, happened next?

Avigal:
I cried.

Ancient Rabbi:
From shame?

Avigal:
No. From loneliness.

Dovi:
If a man can't get a woman out of his guts, if a man can't get a woman out of his heart, it means something.

Murray:
You know, I have a theory that sometimes when you don't understand what the other person is saying, very often that's a tremendous advantage.

[last lines]

Murray:
Wow. This definitely could be the beginning of a very beautiful relationship. The three of us. But, you know, when is it that you're leaving?

Fioravante:
[smiles knowingly without a word]
