Lee Miller

[edit]
  • I'd been the model. I'd been the muse. I'd been the ingenue. But I was done with all that. I was good at drinking, having sex and taking pictures. And I did all three as much as a I could. And life was fun.
  • [Handing a pocket knife to a girl she has just saved from being sexual assaulted] Next time, cut it off.

Dialogue

[edit]
Roland Penrose: [To male guest of picnic party] I work night and day for you, my dear man.
Lee Miller: Oh. You don't look like someone who works night and day. And there's paint on your hands so I assume you're also an artist. I see you don't wash it off is that because you want people to know? Or do you leave it there because you need to convince people that you are? And you pour your own wine before asking the host if you could. I'll bet the members of any major family in England know your name before you walk through the door. You're part of the establishment, and you hate that. Am I right?
Roland Penrose: My lot are Quakers. Not exactly establishment. But otherwise...
Solange D'Ayen: She can see us all.
Roland Penrose: Can I have a go?
Lee Miller: Please.
Man Ray: Good luck with that.
Roland Penrose: Hmm. You... grew up staunchly middle class, which means you were poor for the rich people, and rich for the poor people, so you feel you never fitted in either. You're used to people getting distracted just by looking at you. You've learned to use that. Which makes you cleverer than most. You dislike anyone who questions you, especially when you know when you're wrong. And you have secrets. Many... that you'll never share.
Lee Miller: I'm never wrong. [All guests laugh]
Man Ray: That's our Lee.
Lee Miller: I'm going to the front. Are you coming?
David E. Scherman: That's not what I was expecting you to say.
Lee Miller: Don't make promises you can't keep.
Solange D'Ayen: [When they meet again later] Don't make promises you can't keep.
Roland Penrose: [At Lee's bedroom door] May I come in ?
Lee Miller: You've only known me four hours.
Roland Penrose: Imagine how well I could know you after five hours.
