Minnie leszámolt már minden illúzióval, és megelégelve a folyamatos áltatást, szakít nős barátjával. Amikor már teljesen padlón van, ott talál reményt és szerelmet, ahol a legkevésbé várta: a bohókás, vagy fogalmazhatunk keményebben: némileg eszement parkolóőr, Moskowitz személyében… A film… [tovább]

Moskowitz: Do you like movies? I just saw a movie called The Maltese Falcon. You ever see that?
Morgan: I don't care anything. I don't know anything about cinema. I don't like it. Bunch of lonely people going in, looking up. Forget about it.
Moskowitz: You don't like Bogart?
Morgan: I only like one. Wallace Beery.
Moskowitz: I like Bogart.
Minnie: You know, in the movies it's never like that. You know, I think that movies are a conspiracy? I mean it. I mean it. They…They are actually a conspiracy, because they set you up, Florence. They set you up from the time you're a little kid. They set you up to believe in everything. They set you up to believe in, ideals and, and, and strength and good guys and romance and…And of course, love. Love, Florence.
Florence: Love?
Minnie: Yeah. So, you believe it, right? You go out, you start looking. It doesn't happen, you keep looking. You get a job, like us, and you spend a lot of time fixing up things. Your apartment and jazz and…And…And you learn how to be feminine. You know, quotes „feminine.” You learn how to cook. There's no Charles Boyer in my life, Florence. You know? I never even met a Charles Boyer. I never met Clark Gable, I never met Humphrey Bogart. I never met any of them. You know who I mean. They don't exist, Florence. That's the truth. But the movies set you up, you know? They set you up, and no matter how bright you are, you believe it. And Florence, do you know that we're bright? No, I know that sounds…Florence, we're geniuses compared to some of 'em.
