When Andy met Edie, life imitated art. tagline Nobody is doing anything like you right now, and that itself is a sign of brilliance, don't you think? Andy Warhol [to Edie] You're the boss, applesauce! I think I'll quit my painting and just make Edie a big star. Edie Sedgwick I went to a party once and there was a palm reader there. And when she looked at my hand, she just froze. And I said to her "I know. My lifeline is broken. I know I won't live past thirty." To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas. Others Billy Quinn: Lady, you don't know shit about shit. Dialogue Andy Warhol: I wonder if people are going to remember us? Edie Sedgwick: What, when we're dead? Andy Warhol: Yeah. Edie Sedgwick: Well, I think people will talk about how you changed the world. Andy Warhol: I wonder what they'll say about you... in your obituary. I like that word. Edie Sedgwick: Nothing nice, I don't think. Andy Warhol: No, no, come on. They'd say, "Edith Minturn Sedgwick: beautiful artist and actress..." Edie Sedgwick: "And all-around loon..." Andy Warhol: "Remembered for setting the world on fire..." Edie Sedgwick: "And escaping the clutches of her terrifying family..." Andy Warhol: "Made friends with eeeeverybody, and anybody..." Edie Sedgwick: "Creating chaos and uproar wherever she went. Divorced as many times as she married, she leaves only good wishes behind." [laughs] That's nice, isn't it? Edie Sedgwick: And what would I have to do in one of your movies? Andy Warhol: Just be yourself. Edie Sedgwick: Well, which one? James Townsend: You're going to be bankrupt soon. Edie Sedgwick: James, you take life too seriously. How could I possibly be bankrupt? My grandfather invented the elevator. James Townsend: Then you should be familiar with the concept of up and down. Edie Sedgwick: I can't take it any more. I want to die. Wanda: And why do you want to die? Edie Sedgwick: Because my credit's no good at Bonwit Teller, and I just stole $30 worth of underwear at Bergdorfs, and I think I might do it again.
