Let me help you. First of all, you gotta wet it if you want a clean line... close your eyes, when you're putting on your makeup it's like you're an artist, but instead of painting a canvas you're painting a face. Didn't you ever watch your mom put on her makeup?

Ali: Morning! Coffee?
Jack: Black. Like my soul.

Jack: Smells great.
Ali:
[referring to photo at kitchen counter] She's pretty. Your sister?
Jack: Fiancée.
Ali: You're straight?
Jack: You thought I was gay?
Ali: Yeah.
Jack: Wait, why?
Ali: I don't know. The day bed... the eyeliner...
Jack: It's a very straight look. You know, it works at the club, Tess loves it...
Ali: Okay. I should put on some pants.
Jack: Probably.

Tess: You know, not that I give a shit, but why is it that you want my club so badly?
Marcus: I like it. When I see something I like, I have to have it. Been that way since I was a kid.
Tess: That must have made you very popular in the sandbox.
Marcus:
[grins] I did okay.

[annoyed, to Vince] Did you also tell him I have a tattoo on my ass?
Vince: No... it's business.
Marcus: I don't think you're gonna get another opportunity like this. So take it.
Tess:
[after some contemplation] No.
Vince: She means not now.
Tess: No, no. "Not now" means not now, Vince. "No" means no. Marcus, I don't care what you're offering. My club is not for sale.
