Room - Exploring Freedom Beyond the Room's Door
Jack:
It can't really be Room if door's open.
Ma:
Do you want me to close it?
Jack:
Nah.
Ma:
Jack, can we go?
Jack:
Bye, plant. Bye, chair number one. Bye, chair number two. Bye, table. Bye, wardrobe. Bye, sink. Bye-bye, skylight. Ma, say bye-bye to room.
Ma: [looks around then mouths silently]
Bye, Room.

I'm sorry Jack.

I promise

Are you better now?

Yeah?

Room - Defining Fatherhood Beyond Biological Ties
Talk Show Hostess:
When he's older, will you tell Jack about his father?
Ma:
Jack's not his. He's not his.
Talk Show Hostess:
So are you saying that there were other men?
Ma:
No! No. Um... A father is... a man who loves his child.
Talk Show Hostess:
Of course. That's so true in a very real sense, but the... the biological relationship that you...
Ma:
That's not a relationship.

Room - Concerns About Screen Time for Children
Ma:
He needs to play with something real. I'm worried about him being on the phone.
Nancy:
He's doing fine.
Ma:
Well, I don't give him my phone, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't give him yours.
Nancy:
Okay, I won't.
Ma: [pause]
Great. I just want him to connect with something.
Nancy:
Joy. Joy, he's really doing fine.
Ma:
I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm supposed to be happy.
Nancy:
You just need to rest, okay?
Ma:
No, I don't. I don't need to rest!
Nancy:
That's... That's what the doctor...
Ma: [Interrupts]
That is not what the doctor said. You don't know what he said, because it was a confidential conversation, and you don't know what he said!
Nancy:
All right, all right, all right! You're impossible to talk to right now.
Ma:
Well, sorry.
Nancy:
No. No, you're not sorry!
Ma:
Yeah, I'm not sorry! You have no idea what's going on in my head.
Nancy:
Yeah. Well, try me! I have asked you.
Ma:
And then what? Then, every time you look at me, that's all that you see?
Nancy:
When I look at you, Joy, I will see my daughter.
Ma:
You don't need me. You've been doing just fine without me.
Nancy:
Oh. How can you say that, huh? Do you honestly think that you were the only one whose life was destroyed?
Ma:
Actually, that's exactly what I think.
Nancy:
Yeah? Well how would you feel if somebody took Jack away from you?
Ma:
Oh, shut up!
Nancy:
Look at him! You should be thinking about him!
Ma:
Oh, don't you tell me how to look after my son. I'm sorry that I'm not nice anymore, but you know what? Maybe if your voice saying "be nice" hadn't been in my head, then maybe I wouldn't have helped the guy with the fucking sick dog! Stay there, Jack. I'm calling the fucking lawyer. I can't stay in this place.

Room - Perspectives on Reality and Understanding
Ma: [about the mouse]
He's on the other side of this wall.
Jack:
What other side?
Ma:
Jack, there's two sides to everything.
Jack:
Not on an octagon.
Ma:
Yeah, but...
Jack: [Interrupts]
An octagon has eight sides
Ma:
But a wall, okay, a wall's like this, see? And we're on the inside and mouse is on the outside.
Jack:
In outer space?
Ma:
No, in the world. It's much closer than outer space.
Jack:
I can't see the outside-side.
Ma:
Listen, I know that I told you something else before, but you were much younger. I didn't think that you could understand, but now you're so old, you're so smart. I know that you can get this. Where do you think that old Nick gets our food?
Jack:
From TV by magic!

A birthday cake?

Room - A Unique Perspective on Birth and Life
Ma:
Ssh. Go back to sleep.
Jack: [reciting to himself]
Once upon a time, before I came, you cried and cried and watched TV all day, until you were a zombie. But then I zoomed down from heaven, through skylight, into Room. Whoosh-pshew! And I was kicking you from the inside. Boom, boom! And then I shot out onto Rug with my eyes wide open, and you cutt-ed the cord and said, "Hello, Jack!
