75 quotesReputation and Its Impact on Relationships
Rosemary
I had a similar situation when I was your age. I had a horrible reputation.
Olive
Why?
Rosemary
Because I was a slut. I slept with a whole bunch of people. A slew, a heap, a peck. Mostly guys.
Olive
Mom!
Olive
Can you not see that I'm a mess?
Rosemary
No, you're not, Olive. You're wonderful. And you'll handle this the same way I did. With an incontrovertible sense of humor. But you're much smarter than I am, so you'll come out of this much better than I did.
Olive
Thank you, Mom.

Struggling with Identity and Aspirations
Mia
Honestly, I wish I loved something else. I've tried so hard to want other things. I left school after two years to come here, my fourth manager just dropped me, and my last audition was for a teen soap pitched as ] meets ]. Should've been a lawyer.
[[w:Dangerous Minds|Dangerous Minds; [w:The O.C.|The O.C.]
Sebastian
Cause the world needs more lawyers.
Mia
Well it doesn't need more actresses.
Sebastian
You're not just an actress.
Mia
What do you mean, "just an actress"?
Sebastian
You said it yourself, you're a child-prodigy playwright.
Mia
That is not what I said.
Sebastian
You're too modest to say it but it's true. So you could write your own roles. Write something that's as interesting as you are.
Mia
Last thing I wrote was a stand-up routine for an open-mic night. It was horrible.
Sebastian
All I'm saying is ] could have played the marching-band charts he was given. What did he do instead?
[[Louis Armstrong]
Mia
I don’t know. What did he do.
Sebastian
Well, He made history, didn’t he?
Mia
OK, I'll stop auditioning and make history instead.
Sebastian
My work here is done.

Questioning Choices and Consequences in Relationships
Olive
Does it ever bother you that your boyfriend is 22 years old and still in high school?
Marianne
Because, Olive, it's His choice!
Olive
Oh, really? His choice? He just wants to be repeating his senior year for, like, the fourth time cause he can't pass a single test?
Marianne
No, silly, His. His, with a capital H. If the Good Lord had wanted Micah to graduate, he would have given him the right answers.
[gestures up]
Olive
I'm sorry, but, I mean, really? You gotta be shittin me, woman.

Embracing Life's Full Spectrum of Experience
Madame Swiney
We must work. We must make money. But more than that Bella, we must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, sadness. This makes us whole Bella, makes us people of substance. Not flighty, untouched children. Then we can know the world. And when we know the world, the world is ours.
Bella Baxter
I want that.
Madame Swiney
Now go and fuck someone and bring me ten francs.

Childhood Memories and Coolness Connections
Olive
How do you know where I live?
Todd
We used to carpool.
Olive
Yeah, in 2nd grade. What, are you like a savant for people's addresses?
Todd
Just for people who I think are cool.
Olive
You think I'm cool?
Todd
I do. And I think you're pretty and smart.
Olive
Did you form this opinion prior to my little transformation?
Todd
Way prior.
Olive
Why didn't that rumor spread?
Todd
I like to keep my business to myself. Notoriety, for whatever reason, never seems to benefit the noted, only the "notees.
Olive
Where were you two weeks ago?
Todd
Olive. If I promise not to tell anyone, could I kiss you right now?
Olive
No.
Todd
Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
Olive
Oh, no. I just mean, not like this. I don't wanna kiss you with mascara running down my face...and some horndog guy just having tried to stick his tongue down my throat. I've wanted to kiss you since 8th grade, but I want it to be perfect. And right now, my life is a mess. I need to get my business in order before I drag you into it.
Todd
What if I told you I wanna be dragged into it? I could help, maybe.
Olive
Why now? Why are you all of a sudden into me now?
Todd
I don't know. I haven't overanalyzed it, like you're about to.

Olive
Well, put it in the pile of gifts from my other suitors.
Rosemary
He seems like a nice kid. He seemed a little incredibly gay...
Olive
Dyed in the wool homosexual, that boy is.
Rosemary
I just want you to know your father and I are totally supportive. We love you no matter what the sexual orientation of your opposite sex sex partner...
Olive
We are not dating, Mom.
Rosemary
...and don't worry about not making us grandparents. Although we were kind of hoping you'd get "knocked up" so we'd have a second shot at raising kids, really do it right this time.
Olive
Bye now...
Rosemary
You know, I dated a homosexual once. For a long time, actually... a long time...
Olive
Dear God, dear Lord, tell me you didn't marry and have children with him!
Rosemary
No.
[Giggles]
Rosemary
No, no. Your father is as straight as they come. A little too straight, if you know what I mean, girlfriend.
Olive
I don't...

Struggle for Relevance in a Changing World
Riggan
Listen to me. I'm trying to do something important.
Sam
This is not important.
Riggan
It's important to me, alright? Maybe not to you, or your cynical friends whose only ambition is to go viral. But to me, to me...this is...God. This is my career. This is my chance to do some work that actually means something.
Sam
Means something to who? You had a career before the third comic book movie, before people began to forget who was inside the bird costume. You're doing a play based on a book that was written 60 years ago, for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is gonna be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over. And let's face it, Dad, you're not doing this for the sake of art. You're doing this because you wanna feel relevant again. Well, guess what? There's an entire world out there where people fight to be relevant every single day, and you act like it doesn't exist! Things are happening in a place that you ignore, a place that, by the way, has already forgotten about you. I mean, who the fuck are you? You hate bloggers. You mock Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important, okay? You're not important. Get used to it. Dad...

Embracing Life's Impermanence and Personal Choices
Gwen Stacy
I know that we all think we're immortal, we're supposed to feel that way, we're graduating. The future is and should be bright, but, like our brief four years in high school, what makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever, what makes it precious is that it ends. I know that now more than ever. And I say it today of all days to remind us that time is luck. So don't waste it living someone else's life, make yours count for something. Fight for what matters to you, no matter what. Because even if you fall short, what better way is there to live?

These lines are...
[points to his head]

That makes sense.
Mike
That's good, give me that cue again.
Riggan
Okay, okay, "Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask. I didn't actually know the man. I've heard his name mentioned in passing, but, you know, I didn't know. You'd have to know the particulars. I think what you're saying, though, is that...
Mike
Can I make a suggestion?
Riggan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Mike
I mean, do you mind?
Riggan
No, no, no, not at all. Not at all.

Riggan
Yeah.
Mike
I'm the wrong person to ask," he says.
Riggan
Right.
Mike
But what is that? What's the intention in that?
Riggan
I think...
Mike
Is he fed up with the subject, so he's changing it? Is he deflecting guilt over the marriage? And here's the thing, you've got four lines after that...
Riggan
Right.
Mike
...that all say the same thing. "I didn't even know the man." "I only heard his name mentioned in passing." "I wouldn't know." "You'd have to know the particulars." And the particulars, I mean, it sounds like my grandmother, but--but the point is, you don't know the guy.
Riggan
Right.
Mike
We fucking get it...
Riggan
Yeah.
Mike
Make it work with one line. "I didn't even know the man." Right?
Riggan
Right...wait, how do...you know my lines, too, huh?
Mike
Can we not get hung up on knowing lines?
Riggan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike
Can we just work on this...
Riggan
Yeah, yeah, right, right.
Mike
Tear it apart, whatever? So why don't you just give me that same thing again, but cut it down.
Riggan
Uh-huh.
Mike
Try it.
Riggan
Okay.
Mike
Just try it.
Riggan
Uh... "Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask. I didn't actually know the guy.
Mike
Oh! No! But that's the thing, see? "I'm the wrong person to ask." What is it? I think it's "fuck you". Fuck you. Don't put me on the spot, man. Don't make me feel self-conscious about my marriage while my wife is sitting...
[pointing to table seats]
Riggan
Right there.
Mike
...Right there.
Riggan
Yeah.
Mike
Can I sit down?
Riggan

Yeah.

So just give it to me as a "fuck you".
Riggan
Alright.
Mike

Well, I'm thinking...
Mike
Let's just do it.
Riggan
Yeah.
Mike
Give it to me. Fuck me hard.
Riggan
Right.
Mike
Just give it...
Riggan
Okay.
Mike
COME ON! DON'T TALK ABOUT IT! JUST FUCKING DO IT!
[slams hands on table]
Riggan
HEY, I'M THE WRONG PERSON TO ASK! ALRIGHT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE GUY, OKAY? WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
Mike
What's my point?
Riggan
YEAH, WHAT'S YOUR POINT? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? SPIT IT OUT.
Mike
Oh! Oh!
Riggan
YOU'RE SAYING WHAT? What are you saying? You're saying love is absolute.

Are you...? What's with the get-up?

Oh, I do it to blend in. You know. Zombies don't mess with other zombies. Buddy of mine, makeup guy, he showed me how to do this. Corn starch. You know, some berries, a little licorice for the ladies. Suits my lifestyle, you know. I like to get out and do stuff. Just played nine holes on the Riviera. Just walked on. Nobody there.
Tallahassee
Goddamn it! Bill-Fucking-Murray! I had to get that out. I don't mean to gush. This is so surreal. I mean, you probably get this all the time. Maybe not lately, but I'm such a huge fan of yours. You know, I swear, I've seen every one of your movies a million times. I even loved your dramatic roles and just everything. Six people left in the world and one of them is Bill-Fucking-Murray. I know that's not your middle name. I've been watching you since I was like...Since I could masturbate. I mean, not that they're connected. I gratefully respect you.

Choices and Consequences in Life
Mrs. Griffith
Olive, life is full of choices. I made a bad one. But then, so did you. But I see no other alternative than to just live with the guilt. My guilt stems from my indiscretion and yours for lying. We made our choices. Now, we just have to let it ride.
Olive
Or I could just tell everyone the truth and have you fired and put in jail.
Mrs. Griffith
Okay, first of all, he is of age, okay!? It's perfectly legal in the state of California. I checked! He is 21 in eight months. And secondly, let's play the "Who Would You Believe game," okay? Why don't you ask yourself, if you were an adult, who would you believe? Who would you believe!? Who would you believe!? Who would you believe!? Who!?! ...Thank you for coming in.

False Rumors and Uncomfortable Conversations
Olive
Guys, I want you to know that if you hear around town that I have chlamydia, that is totally false.
Rosemary
Olive, do we need to have the talk again?
Olive
No. It's just a thing that's going around.
Dill
You know, nothing you're saying is making me feel any better.
Rosemary
Not to mention how you have been dressing these past few days. No judgment, but you kind of look like a stripper.
Olive
Mom!
Dill
A high-end stripper, for governors or athletes, but a stripper nonetheless.
Olive
Oh, my God. I'm just trying to mix it up a little. And I have no STDs, I promise you.
Dill
Oh, that's great. Daughter of the Year.

Misunderstandings About Identity and Experience

I'm an expert at parties and boys! I'm a bunny! Men write to me from prison, sometimes even in their own blood, which I think is theirs, but I don't know, I'm really nervous because I really want to help you guys.

Musicians and Their Expectations in Conversations
Sebastian
Alright, I remember you. And I'll admit I was a little curt that night.
Mia
Curt?
Sebastian
Okay, I was an asshole. I can admit that. But requesting "]" from a serious musician? It's just, it's too far.
[[w:I Ran (So Far Away)|I Ran]
Mia
My Lord, did you just say "a serious musician?
Sebastian
I don't think so.
Mia
Can I borrow what you're wearing?
Sebastian
Why?
Mia
Because I have an audition next week. I'm playing a serious firefighter.
Sebastian
So you're an actress? I thought you looked familiar. Have I seen you in anything?
Mia
Uhh, the coffee shop on the Warner Brothers lot, that's a classic.
Sebastian
Oh I see.
Mia
Yeah.
Sebastian
So you're a barista? And I can see how you could then look down on me from all the way up there.
Singer
Sebastian. Second set.
Sebastian
He doesn't tell me what to do.
Mia
He just told you what to do.
Sebastian
I let him. What's your name?

Casting Opportunity for Mia

Why did you come here?
Sebastian
Because I have good news.
Mia
What?
Sebastian
Amy Brandt, the casting director? Yeah. She was at your play, and she loved it. And she loved it so much that she wants you to come in tomorrow and audition for this huge movie that she's got.
Mia
I'm not going to that. I'm not going to that.
[pause]
Sebastian
What?
Mia
That one's gonna be...No. That one's gonna be...
Sebastian
I'm sorry?
Mia
That will kill me.
Sebastian
What?! What? What?
[shouting]
Mia
Shh! Stop!
Sebastian
No!
Mia
Shh! Shh! You have to be quiet. We're in a neighborhood.
Sebastian
If you want me to be quiet, you have to make some goddamn sense! Tell me why you're not going.
Mia
They'll call the police. Because. Because...
Sebastian
Why?
Mia
I've been to a million auditions, and the same thing happens every time where I get interrupted because someone wants to get a sandwich. Or I'm crying, and they start laughing. Or there's people sitting in the waiting room, and they're like me, but prettier and better at the...Because maybe I'm not good enough!
Sebastian
Yes, you are.
Mia
No...No, maybe I'm not.
Sebastian
Yes, you are.
Mia
Maybe I'm not.
Sebastian
You are.
Mia
Maybe I'm one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it's like a pipe dream for me, you know? And then, you said it, you change your dreams, and then you grow up. Maybe I'm one of those people, and I'm not supposed to. And I can go back to school, and I can find something else I'm supposed to do. Cause I left to do that, and it's been six years, and I don't want to do it anymore.
Sebastian
Why?
Mia
Why what?
Sebastian
Why don't you want to do it anymore?
Mia
Cause I think it hurts a little bit too much.
Sebastian
You're a baby.
Mia
I'm not a baby. I'm trying to grow up.
Sebastian
You are. You're crying like a baby.
Mia
Oh, my God.
Sebastian
You have an audition tomorrow at 5:30. I'll be out front at 8:00 A.M. You'll be out front or not, I don't know.

Adjusting Work Hours for Flexibility
Michelle
The 5:30 thing.
Corey
Uh-huh?
Michelle
Look, I know you sent the e-mail already, but I need you to let everyone know that they're free to leave at 5:30 from now on, starting today, okay? But do it in a way that's, you know, what we talked about.
Corey
Yeah, of course.
Michelle
We need to send the message that we have a new culture here now. Where people should, of course, feel free to leave at 5:30 and be with their families. No one is going to be overworked like in the past. No more unpleasant incidents. But, of course, it's not compulsory. And obviously, if people still have work to do, they should absolutely stay and continue to work. But it's not strictly enforced. Although we still do want to meet quotas. So if we can do that, just remembering, you know, we are running a business here, so "let your conscience guide you" kind of thing. Yeah? Good.
Corey
I'll definitely let them know.

The Value of Documenting Everyday Thoughts
Mr Griffith
I don't know what your generation's fascination is with documenting your every thought...but I can assure you, they're not all diamonds. "Roman is having an OK day, and bought a Coke Zero at the gas station. Raise the roof." Who gives a rat's ass?
Olive
He got a Coke Zero again? Oh that Roman, incorrigible.

Embracing Hope Amidst Life's Challenges
Gwen Stacy
It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us, too. There will be days when you feel alone, and that is when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets or how lost you feel, you must promise me that you will hold onto hope. Keep it alive. We have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you is to become hope - people need that. And even if we fail, what better way is there to live? As we look around here today, at all the people who helped make us who we are, I know it feels like we are saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are and who we are meant to be.

I don't think he likes me. He didn't fall for any of my tricks.

I did sexy. I did other guys want me. I worked every angle in the book but, I don't know, he just stared.

Sam
Dad, what kind of... SHUT UP! ...What kind of flowers did you say you wanted?

Riggan
Alchemillas, or something that smells nice. You know, something soothing. Listen, I can't...

Conflicting Expectations in Relationships
Sebastian
I thought you wanted me to do this, it just sounds like now you don't want me to do it.
Mia
What do you mean, I wanted you to do this?
Sebastian
This is what you wanted for me.
Mia
To be in this band?
Sebastian
To be in a band, to have a steady job, you know to be... you know.
Mia
Of course, I wanted you to have a steady job so that you could take care of yourself and your life and you could start your club.
Sebastian
Yeah, so I'm doing that, so I don't understand like why aren't we celebrating?
Mia
Why aren't you starting your club?
Sebastian
You said yourself no one wants to go that club. No one wants to go to a club called Chicken on a Stick.
Mia
So change the name!
Sebastian
Well, no one likes jazz, not even you!
Mia
I do like jazz now, because of you!
Sebastian
What am I supposed to do? Go back to playing "Jingle Bells" so I can save money for some Shangri-La club no one wants to go to?
Mia
People will want to go to it because you're passionate about it and people love what other people are passionate about. You remind people of what they've forgotten.
Sebastian
Not in my experience. Anyway, it's time to grow up. You know? This is what I'm doing. If you had a problem, I wish you would've said something earlier, before I signed on the dotted line.
[pause]
Mia
You had a dream that you were sticking to, that...
Sebastian
This is the dream!
Mia
This is not your dream.
Sebastian
Guys like me go their whole lives and never do anything that's liked. I'm finally doing something that people enjoy. What is wrong with that?
Mia
Why do you care so much about being liked?
Sebastian
You're an actress, what are we talking about? Maybe you liked me more when I was a failure because it made you feel better about yourself.
[pause]
Mia
Are you kidding?
Sebastian
No.
