Lina: Jealousy doesn't show how much you love someone, it shows how insecure you are.
Andrew: Sex alleviates tension and love causes it.
Mrs. Talmann: She does not fret father, or if she does you well know the cause is your indifference - a house, a garden, a horse, a wife the preferential order.
Opening Narration: Hollywood, California. Home to the rich and powerful. Yet so popular with the broken and destitute. Here sex - hunger is reflected in every aspect of daily life, and instant gratification is tirelessly pursued. A center of casual violence and capricious harassment. Where rampant vice and amorality permeate every strata of society... It is a known fact that prolonged exposure to just such a psychopathic environment will eventually warp even the most normal and decent among us.
