Quotes48

  • Larry: Alice, tell me something true.
  • Alice: Lying's the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off - but it's better if you do.
  • Alice: Where is this love? I can't see it, I can't touch it. I can't feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can't do anything with your easy words.
  • 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.
  • Larry: What does your cunt taste like?
  • Alice: Heaven.
  • Alice: I'm not a whore.
  • Larry: I wouldn't pay.
  • 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: 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.
  • Alice: You still fancy me?
  • Dan: ...Of course.
  • Alice: You're lying. I've been you.
  • Larry: [on a photography exhibit] What do you think?
  • Alice: It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone... But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so... the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.
  • Larry: I'm the big fat liar's boyfriend.
  • Alice: Bastard!
  • Alice: I don't want to lie. I can't tell the truth. So it's over.
  • Alice: No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough?
  • Larry: There's a girl out there who calls herself Venus, what's her real name?
  • Alice: Pluto.
  • Alice: How can one man be so endlessly disappointing?
  • Dan: That's my charm.
  • [first lines]
  • Alice: Hello, stranger.
  • 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.
  • Larry: So Anna tell me your bloke wrote a book. Any good?
  • Alice: Of course.
  • Larry: It's about you isn't it?
  • Alice: Some of me.
  • Larry: Oh? What did he leave out?
  • Alice: The truth.
