Mudbound - The Harsh Realities of Country Life
Laura McAllan:
Violence is part and parcel of country life. You're forever being assailed by dead things. Dead mice, dead rabbits, dead possums. You find them in the yard. You smell them rottin under the house. And then there are the creatures you kill for food. Chickens, hogs, deer, frogs, squirrels. Pluck, skin, disembowel, debone, fry. Eat, start again, kill. I learned how to stitch up a bleeding wound... load and fire a shotgun... reach into the womb of a heavin sow to deliver a breeched piglet. My hands did these things... but I was never easy in my mind.

Drive - A Memory of First Encounters
Standard:
Do you want to hear how mommy and me met?
Standard:
Yeah? Okay. We were at a party. And she was nineteen years old.
Irene:
Seventeen.
Standard:
You weren't seventeen.
Irene:
I was.
Standard: [Laughs]
Wow. So it was illegal. All right. So I illegally walked over to a seventeen year old girl. And I walk up and I say, "Hello, Miss. What is your name?" And she didn't say anything. And then I said, "Well my name is Standard Gabriel." Then what did you say?
Irene:
I said, "Where's the deluxe version?

Inside Llewyn Davis - Uncertainty Surrounding Paternity in a Relationship
Jean:
I don't know.
Llewyn:
You don't know if it's mine?
Jean:
No. How would I know?
Llewyn:
So it could be Jim's?
Jean:
Yes, asshole!
Llewyn:
You don't want it either way, to be clear?
Jean:
To be clear, asshole, you fucking asshole, I want very much to have it if it's Jim's. That's what I want. But since I don't know, you not only fucked things up by fucking me and maybe making me pregnant, but even if it's not yours, I can't know that, so I might have to get rid of what might be a perfectly fine baby, a baby I want, because everything you touch turns to shit! Like King Midas's idiot brother.
Llewyn:
Well, okay. I see.
Jean:
You know a doctor, right?
Llewyn:
Yes.
Jean:
From when? Whatever, Diane?
Llewyn:
Yes.
Jean:
And you'll pay for it.
Llewyn:
Yes.
Jean:
Don't tell Jim, obviously. I should've had you wear double condoms. Well, we shouldn't have done it in the first place, but if you ever do it again, which as a favor to women everywhere, you should not, but if you do, you should be wearing condom on condom and then wrap it in electrical tape. You should just walk around always inside a great big condom because you are shit!
Llewyn:
Okay.
Jean:
You should not be in contact with any living thing being shit.
Llewyn:
Have you ever heard the expression, "It takes two to tango"?
Jean:
Fuck you!
Llewyn:
Well, I could say we should talk about this when you're less angry, but that would be... that would be... when would that be?
Jean:
Fuck you! I miss Mike.
Llewyn:
Could I ask you for a favor?
Jean:
You're joking.
Llewyn:
It's not for me. It's for the Gorfeins. Their cat got out. Could you leave the fire escape window open?
Jean:
It's winter.
Llewyn:
Just enough for the cat to squeeze back in? It could come back.
Jean:
To our apartment? It was there like six hours. Why would it come back there?
Llewyn:
I don't know! I'm not a fucking cat! Think about it! I lost their fucking cat! I feel bad about it!
Jean:
That's what you feel bad about?

You're hardly dropping panties yourself, Paul. When was the last time you scored in daylight?

Careful.

No, you be careful. I'm not the only one who does this. And some of the other girls really are crazy.

Promising Young Woman - Forgiveness Amidst Guilt and Regret
Jordan: [grabs Cassie's hands pleadingly]
You know, I got a bonus for every settlement out of court. I got another bonus for every charge dropped. We all did. There was a guy... his only job was to go through all their social media accounts for any compromising information. He contacted old friends, past sexual partners. Oh, you'd be amazed how much easier it is now with the internet to dig up dirt. In the old days we used to go through a girl's trash. Now? One drunk photo at a party. Oh, you wouldn't believe how hostile that makes a jury. You gotta help me. I can't sleep. I can't SLEEP. I haven't slept since... I will never forgive myself. I want you to know that. I'll never forgive myself for any of this.
Cassandra: [crying]
I forgive you.
