- Sam #2: You can hear this, close your eyes
- Annie: What?
- Sam #2: I just want you to listen to me. Humor me please?
- Sam #2: [Annie closes her eyes] It's not easy to be adored - you in particular - you have a tougher time with it than most, I get that, but I want you to give it a try. Think of it as an experiment. I promise I will be very wonderful at adoring you Annie. It an area where, I think I got a great deal of talent. You're worth the adoration Annie, you're worth it, and the fact that you don't believe it, has nothing to do with whether it's true or not, it is true for me, and that is all that matters.
- Annie: Sadness be gone, let's be people who deserve to be loved, who are worthy, cause we are worthy.
- Mississippi: I realized the problem. You write short stories... and I think you like living short stories, but I'm kinda ready for the novel.
- Mary Catherine: I always thought of that as the moment you came into focus... like, "Oh, there you are."
- Sam Wexler: I totally agree. One night stands are the worst.
- Mississippi: So you want to have a three night stand?
- Sam Wexler: Yes.
- Mississippi: What is this, like your line or something?
- Sam Wexler: This writer that I know once told me this great thing. He said every five years he realizes what an asshole he was five years ago. Every five years like clockwork he goes "Man, I was such an asshole five years ago". So if we accept this that means everything we think and feel and say now in five years will just be... embarrassing.
