Quotes37

  • Alice: Is it because she's successful?
  • Dan: No. It's because... she doesn't need me.
  • Dan: I fell in love with her, Alice.
  • Alice: Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one.
  • Dan: Didn't fancy my sandwiches?
  • Alice: Don't eat fish.
  • Dan: Why not?
  • Alice: Fish piss in the sea.
  • Dan: So do children.
  • Alice: Don't eat children either.
  • Dan: I'll always love you. I hate hurting you.
  • Alice: Then why are you?
  • Dan: What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change, it's the currency of the world.
  • Dan: And you left him, just like that?
  • Alice: It's the only way to leave. "I don't love you anymore. Goodbye."
  • Dan: Supposing you do still love them?
  • Alice: You don't leave.
  • Dan: You've never left someone you still love?
  • Alice: Nope.
  • Dan: I want Anna back.
  • Larry: She's made her choice.
  • Dan: I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer.
  • Larry: So where's the apology? Ya cunt.
  • Dan: I apologize. If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy.
  • Larry: She doesn't want to be happy.
  • Dan: Everybody wants to be happy.
  • Larry: Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.
  • Alice: You still fancy me?
  • Dan: ...Of course.
  • Alice: You're lying. I've been you.
  • Anna: Love bores you.
  • Dan: No, it disappoints me.
  • Dan: You think love is simple. You think the heart is like a diagram.
  • Larry: Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood! Go fuck yourself! You writer! You liar!
  • Alice: How can one man be so endlessly disappointing?
  • Dan: That's my charm.
  • Alice: So this man comes into the café today, and he says, "Hey waitress, what are you waiting for?"
  • Dan: Funny guy.
  • Alice: So I go, "I'm waiting for a man to come in here and fuck me sideways with a beautiful line like that."
  • Dan: So what did he ask for?
  • Alice: He asked for a cup of tea with two sugars.
  • Dan: It's not safe out there.
  • Alice: Oh, and it's safe in here?
  • Dan: When I get back, please tell me the truth.
  • Alice: Why?
  • Dan: Because I'm addicted to it. Because without it, we're animals. Trust me.
  • Anna: I don't want trouble.
  • Dan: I'm not trouble.
  • Anna: You're taken.
  • Dan: I've got to see you.
  • Anna: Tough.
  • Dan: You... KISSED me!
  • Anna: What are you - TWELVE?
  • Dan: You love her like a dog loves its owner.
  • Larry: And the owner loves the dog for so doing.
  • Dan: You'll hurt her. You'll never forgive her.
  • Larry: Of course I'll forgive her. I *have* forgiven her. Without forgiveness we're savages. You're drowning.
  • Alice: [in the emergency room] Are we in for a long wait?
  • Dan: [indicating an old woman] She was 21 when she came in.
  • Dan: Do you have any children?
  • Anna: No.
  • Dan: Would you like some?
  • Anna: Yes, but not today.
  • Dan: What were you doing in New York?
  • Alice: You know...

  • Alice: Stripping.
  • Alice: [Dan looks shocked] Look at your little eyes...
  • Dan: I can't see my little eyes
  • Dan: Why did you fuck him?
  • Alice: I wanted to.

  • Alice: He asked me nicely.
  • Dan: You're a liar.
