She says, "Well....your...hair is greasy!!".
Romance
Tracy, only went to France to hustle wealthy French women out of their millions. He quickly eneters a relationship, then leaves the woman, usually ruining her life. He sells his body to women( the usual way of a prostitute). His true love was money, until he met Mary Sharon(
Kristin Scott Thomas ). He and Mary have a rough start, but later fall in love when he shows up uninvited to her 21st birthday party. However, throwing insults to each other, is their typical way of either hiding a relationship, or their show of love. An example, is Christopher in his infamous "Wrecka Stow" scene, and Mary in the "Stupid Disease" scene and both in the scene where Christopher enters her home, and she threatens him with guards. The two later havesex , in a telephone booth, before he dies. Isaac Sharon, does anything to keep the two apart, telling Mary, he's a "whore". So, this leads to his death.Death
After riding around in his Black
Rolls Royce , with Mary and their passionate adult-only scenes, he is shot by thugs in the back, overexaggeratedly collapsed, and died. It is cited that he was killed for having an affair with Mrs. Wellington (a wealthy divorcee), and loving Mary. Isaac Sharon (Mary's Father), also was having an affair with Wellington, and didn't want her or Mary hurt, by Christopher (because Isaac knew of his prostitute ways), so he had thugs murder him. He died at 26.ee also
