Parental Traits in Marital Conflict
Nicole Barber You're being so much like your father.
[while arguing with Charlie]
Charlie Barber Do not compare me to my father!
Nicole Barber I didn't compare you to him. I said you were acting like him.
Charlie Barber You're exactly like your mother. Everything you were complaining about her, you're doing. You're suffocating Henry.
Nicole Barber First of all, I-I love my mother. She was a wonderful mother.
Charlie Barber I'm just repeating what you told me.
Nicole Barber Secondly, how dare you compare my mothering to my mother! I may be like my father, but I am not like my mother!
Charlie Barber You are! And you're like my father! You're also like my mother! You're all the bad things about all of these people! But mostly your mother. When we would lie in bed together, sometimes I would look at you and see her, and just feel so gross.
Nicole Barber I felt repulsed when you touched me!
Charlie Barber You're a slob. I made all the beds, closed all the cabinets, picked up after you like an infant!
Nicole Barber The thought of having sex with you makes me wanna peel my skin off.
[under]
Charlie Barber You'll never be happy. In LA or anywhere! You'll think you found some better, opposite guy than me, and in a few years, you'll rebel against him, because you need to have your voice. But you don't want a voice! You just want to fucking complain about not having a voice!
Nicole Barber I think about being married to you and that woman is a stranger to me! I mean, we had a... child's marriage...
Charlie Barber You've regressed. You've gone back to your life before you met me. It's pathetic.
Nicole Barber People used to tell me that you were too selfish to be a great artist. And I used to defend you! They were absolutely right!
Charlie Barber All your best acting is behind you. You're back to being a HACK!
Nicole Barber You gaslighted me! You're a fucking villain!
Charlie Barber You wanna present yourself as a victim because it's a good legal strategy? Fine. But you and I both know you chose this life! You wanted it until you didn't! You used me so you could get out of LA.
Nicole Barber I didn't use you.
Charlie Barber You did, and then you blamed me for it. You always made me aware of what I was doing wrong, how I was falling short! Life with you was joyless!
Nicole Barber What, so then you had to go and fuck someone else?!
Charlie Barber You shouldn't be upset that I fucked her, you should be upset that I had a laugh with her!
[referring to Mary Ann]
Nicole Barber Do you love her?!
Charlie Barber No! But she didn't hate me. You hated me!
Nicole Barber You hated me. You fucked somebody we worked with.
Charlie Barber You stopped having sex with me in the last year! I never cheated on you!
Nicole Barber That was cheating on me!
Charlie Barber But there's so much I could've done! I was a director in my twenties, who came from nothing and was suddenly on the cover of fuckin Time Out New York! I was hot shit, and I wanted to fuck everybody and I didn't! And I loved you and I didn't wanna lose you! But I'm in my twenties! And I didn’t wanna lose that too, and I kinda did! And you wanted so much so fast! I didn't even want to get married, and... FUCK IT! There's so much I didn't do!
Nicole Barber Well, thanks for that!
[chuckles sarcastically]
Charlie Barber You're welcome!
Nicole Barber I can't believe I have to know you FOREVER!
Charlie Barber You're fuckin insane! AND YOU'RE FUCKING WINNING!
[punches the wall in a rage]
Nicole Barber Are you kidding me?? I wanted to be married! I'd already lost! You didn't love me as much as I loved you!
Charlie Barber What does that have to do with LA? What??
[pause; Nicole stares at him, incredulous]
Nicole Barber You're so... merged with your own selfishness, you don't even identify it as selfishness anymore! You're such a DICK!
Charlie Barber EVERY DAY I WAKE UP AND I HOPE YOU'RE DEAD! Dead, like, if I could guarantee Henry would be okay, I'd hope you get an illness, AND THEN GET HIT BY A CAR AND DIE!
Charlie Barber I'm sorry...
[through tears]
Nicole Barber Me too.
[comforting him]
Manipulation and Power in Leadership
Supreme Leader Snoke Tied on a string indeed, General Hux. Well done. The Resistance will soon be in our grasp.
[to General Hux]
Hux Thank you, Supreme Leader.
[leaves the throne room]
Snoke You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power? A cur's weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool. How's your wound?
[to Kylo Ren]
Kylo Ren It's nothing.
[through damaged vocabulator]
Snoke Hmm. The mighty Kylo Ren. When I found you, I saw what all masters live to see: Raw, untamed power... and beyond that, something truly special. The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader. Now, I fear I was mistaken.
Ren I've given everything I have to you... to the dark side.
Snoke Take that ridiculous thing off. Yes... there it is. You have too much of your father's heart in you, young Solo.
[referring to Ren's helmet; Ren takes off his helmet, revealing his bandaged facial scar]
Ren I killed Han Solo. When the moment came, I didn't hesitate.
Snoke And look at you, the deed split your spirit to the bone. You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber! YOU FAILED!!!!! Skywalker lives! The seed of the Jedi Order lives. As long as he does... hope lives in the galaxy. I thought you would be the one to snuff it out. Alas, you're no Vader. You're just a child... in a mask.
[Ren tries to attack Snoke, but he blasts Force lightning into the ground which ricochets into Ren, blasting him back; the Praetorian guards draw their weapons in response]

David Duke Jesus H. Christ! What did you just do, boy? I mean, what the hell did you just do?

Flip Zimmerman Boy, you better get your nigger ass out of here now.
Ron Stallworth Mm-hmm, America first.
Understanding Differences in Marriage Choices
Nicole Barber Anyway, shall we try this?
Charlie Barber OK. I don't know how to start.
[pause]
Nicole Barber Do you understand why I want to stay in LA?
Nicole Barber Well, that's not-Charlie, that's not a useful way for us to start...
Charlie Barber I don't understand it.
Nicole Barber You don't remember promising that we could do time out there?
Charlie Barber We discussed things. We were married, we said things. We talked about moving to Europe, about getting a sideboard or what do you call it, a credenza, to fill that empty space behind the couch. We never did any of it.

Bert Spitz This woman is at her hairdresser, and she says, "I'm going to Rome on Holiday." And he says, "Oh, really? What airline are you taking?" She says, "Alitalia." He says, "Alitalia? Are you crazy? That's the worst – that's terrible. Don't take that. Where you gonna stay?" She says, "I'm gonna stay at the Hassler." "The Hassler? What, are you kidding?
