Bella Baxter

Swiney: We must work. We must make money. But more than that Bella, we must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, sadness. This makes us whole Bella, makes us people of substance. Not flighty, untouched children. Then we can know the world. And when we know the world, the world is ours.
Bella Baxter: I want that.
Swiney: Now go and fuck someone and bring me ten francs.

I’m a changingable feast, as are all of we.

I have adventured it and found nothing but sugar and violence.

[on the wailing infant] I must go punch that baby.

[after sex]
Bella Baxter: Why do people not just do this *all* the time?
Duncan Wedderburn: [chuckles] Well, at the risk of being immodest: You've just been thrice fucked by the very best. It's probable no other man will ever bring you to the raptures I have. I feel bad for you.
Bella Baxter: Well, then it will just be *you* I do furious jumping with.
Duncan Wedderburn: [chuckles] Furious jumping? I love that.

Why keep it in my mouth if it is revolting?
