These Pretty Woman quotes include a little bit of everything, though, including some of the reminders of the hardship prostitutes face.
However, they also include some of the most iconic and hilarious conversations from the film.

Which of these Pretty Woman quotes is your favorite?
The movie depicts so much growth between these two characters.
You have Edward, who is a shrewd man who is only focused on money, and does not care about people.
His time with Vivian reminds him that the companies he dismantles for money belong to real people with life stories and feelings.
Meanwhile, Vivian’s time with Edward helps her understand that she deserves more than she has allowed herself to have.
It reminds her of her dreams and gives her the courage to stop accepting less than she is worth.
The moment these two part ways is one of the saddest moments in movie history!
It is a necessary moment though for their development and makes the “fairy tale” ending so perfect.
The chemistry between Gere and Roberts didn’t hurt the film any either!
In fact, it was so good the pair reunited for a new movie, Runaway Bride, nearly a decade later.
