Rosemary's Baby quotes

View Quote Dr. Sapirstein's secretary: He has the same smell once in a while, whatever it is, and when he does, oh boy.

View Quote Dr. Sapirstein: Come with us quietly, Rosemary. Don't argue or make a scene. Because if you say anything more about witches or witchcraft, we're gonna be forced to take you to a mental hospital. You don't want that, do you? So just put your shoes on.

View Quote Laura-Louise: [referring to the tannis-root charm] You'll get used to the smell before you know it.

View Quote Rosemary's friend: [about Dr. Sapirstein] He sounds like a sadistic nut... Pain like that is a warning that something isn't right. Go see Dr. Hill. Go see anybody besides that... nut. You can't go on suffering like this.

View Quote Terry Gionoffrio: [about the Castevets] They picked me up off the sidewalk, literally... I was starving and on dope and doing a lot of other things. They're childless though. I'm like the daughter they never had. At first, I thought they wanted me for some kind of a sex thing but they turned out to be like real grandparents... I'd be dead now if it wasn't for them. That's an absolute fact. Dead or in jail.

View Quote Dr. Sapirstein: [telling Rosemary her baby died] It was in the wrong position. In a hospital, I might have been able to do something about it, but you wouldn't listen.
Rosemary: You're lying. It didn't die. You took it. You're lying. You witches. You're lying! You're lying! You're lying! You're lying!

View Quote Elise Dunstan: Why, congratulations, papa!
Guy: Thanks! There was nothing to it.

View Quote Grace Cardiff: Hutch regained consciousness at the end and he thought it was the next morning. You know, when you had the appointment... I wasn't there but he told the doctor to make sure that you got the book that was on his desk. Oh, and I'm to tell you. The name is an anagram.
Rosemary: [confused] The name of the book?
Grace Cardiff: Apparently. He was delirious, so it's hard to be sure.

View Quote Guy: [about Rosemary's haircut] What the hell is that?
Rosemary: I've been to Vidal Sassoon.
Guy: You mean you actually paid for it?

View Quote Guy: [on Rosemary's decision to switch doctors] You know what Dr. Hill is? He's a Charlie Nobody, that's who he is!
Rosemary: I'm tired of hearing about how great Dr. Saperstein is!
Guy: Well, I won't let you do it Ro.
Rosemary: Why not?
Guy: Well, because... because it wouldn't be fair to Saperstein.
Rosemary: Not fair to Saper - what about what's fair to me?

View Quote Mr. Nicklas: Are you a doctor?
Rosemary: He is an actor.
Mr. Nicklas: Oh! An actor! We're very popular with actors! Have I seen you in anything?
Guy: Well, I did "Hamlet" a while back, didn't I, Liz? Then we did "The Sandpiper"...
Rosemary: He's joking. He was in "Luther" and "Nobody Loves an Albatross" and a lot of TV and commercials.
Mr. Nicklas: That's where the money is, right? The commercials.
Guy: And the artistic thrill too!

View Quote Roman: No Pope ever visits a city where the newspapers are on strike.
Minnie: I heard he's gonna postpone and wait till it's over.
Guy: Well, that's show-biz.
Roman: [chuckling with his wife] That's exactly what it is. All the costumes or rituals, all religions.
Minnie: Uh, I think we're offending Rosemary
Rosemary: Oh no
Roman: You're not religious are you my dear?
Rosemary: I was brought up a Catholic. Now I don't know. He is the pope.
Roman: You don't need to have respect for him because he pretends that he's holy... A good picture of the hypocrisy behind organized religion was given I thought in Luther.

View Quote Rosemary: I dreamed someone was raping me, I think it was someone inhuman.
Guy: Thanks a lot. Whatsa matter?
Rosemary: Nothing.

Rosemary: We could have done it this morning or tonight. Last night wasn't the only split-second.
Guy: I was a little bit loaded myself, you know.

View Quote Rosemary: I look awful.
Guy: What are you talking about? You look great. It's that haircut that looks awful.

View Quote Rosemary: I thought you were Victoria Vetri, the actress.
Terry Gionoffrio (played by Victoria Vetri): That's OK. Everybody thinks I'm Victoria. I don't see the resemblance, though.
