Quotes6

  • [Morris is still doing abuse therapy despite Happer's wishes]
  • Moritz: [on phone] You're an asshole, Happer! You love it! Craphound!
  • [Happer hangs up. He goes back to his omelette, pauses and slowly picks up phone]
  • Moritz: [gleefully] I'm still here, Happer! And you're still a useless mother -...
  • [Happer slams the receiver back on the phone]
  • Moritz: Maybe I could give you an abusive phone call some night. Anytime that's inconvenient. The surprise element might do a lot of good. I mean harm.
  • Moritz: The whole world will weep with gratitude, Happer, when the big day comes. Mr Happer's got his comet. Hooray! What an empty, hollow, wasteful activity. You're chasing comets around the sky. Is your life around you so complete? What about a wife? Children? A family? Are these human goals too simple for you?
  • Happer: You think if I'd married, that things would be different?
  • Moritz: Oh, by no means, Mr Happer. The modern world offers *many* alternatives to the security of the family unit. Look at me, Mr Happer. I'm a single man.
  • Happer: Get out.
  • Moritz: I've got your ego on the run, Mr. Happer, you piece of shit!
  • Moritz: I could hit you. Wouldn't that humiliate you? We could progress by leaps and bounds! I tie you up!
  • Happer: Forget it, Mortiz. You're talking perversion, not therapy. Go on, get out, and don't come back.
  • Moritz: That's good! You're reacting. You're upset already. Think what it'll be like when I punch you.
