Reputation and Its Impact on Relationships

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.

Gift from a Suitor Reveals True Identity

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...
[long pause]
A Call for Less Talk in Agreement
Bella Baxter We will need less of your tongue in the future. But overall, most agreeable.
[after she kisses Max McCandless]
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?
[her high-school graduation speech]

The Complexity of Bee Society and Exploitation
Michelle About bees? Uh... Complex society. Work ethic. They do their duty, they build their worlds without complaint or piety or self-obsession.

Michelle I just admire their resolve. That's all. Even in the face of peril.

Riggan All right. Okay, uh, hey, take a look at page 20.
Mike I'm good. I don't need that.
Riggan What?
Mike I don't need the script. Just give me a cue.
Riggan What are you talking about?
Mike Feed me a line.
Riggan Well, how...how are you gonna--
Mike Feed me a line.
Riggan Okay, all right. Okay, uh, let me think. Uh...yeah, uh... "Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask, okay? I didn't actually know the man. I only heard his name mentioned in passing.
Mike Mm-hmm.
Riggan I don't know. You'd have to know the particulars, but I think what you're saying is love is absolute.
Mike Is that what I'm saying? Am I saying love is absolute? ...Yes. Okay, yeah. "The kind of love that I'm talking about is absolute. The kinda love that I'm talking about you don't try to kill people.

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.
Mike Oh, okay.
Riggan Take a look.

Riggan Okay.
Mike Just...stay with me.
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, sit, sit. Good idea.
Mike Okay. Thanks.
Riggan Yeah.
Mike So just give it to me as a "fuck you".

Mike Just give it...
Riggan Okay.
Mike COME ON! DON'T TALK ABOUT IT! JUST FUCKING DO IT!

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.
Mike YES! YES! THE KIND OF LOVE THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, IT IS ABSOLUTE! THE KIND OF LOVE THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT...you don't... You don't try to kill people.
[slams his hand on the table and fake cries]

A Call for Perspective and Responsibility
Gwen Stacy This is bigger than you, Peter.
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.

[to Jacob]
Critique of Life Choices and Expectations
Marianne Looks like someone's on a downward spiral.
[stapling papers]
Olive Looks like someone's practicing the mundane activity she'll be saddled with the rest of her pathetic life.
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.
Defiance in Conversation Between Sebastian and Mia
Sebastian Fuck em!
Mia That's what you always say.
[mildly amused]
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.

Lady Sarah Hell. I'm sure you shall pass through it one day.

Abigail You're so beautiful.
Queen Anne Stop it, you mock me.
Abigail I do not. If I were a man, I would ravish you!
Understanding Different Approaches to Romantic Interest
Shelley I don't think he likes me. He didn't fall for any of my tricks.
Natalie That's impossible. Your tricks always work.
Shelley I did sexy. I did other guys want me. I worked every angle in the book but, I don't know, he just stared.
Natalie What if Oliver is one of those guys who wants to have a conversation with a girl before he hooks up with her?
Shelley He's gay?
Witty Banter Between Friends Unfolds
Nina Perhaps you should embroider a red "A" on your wardrobe, you abominable tramp.
Olive Perhaps you should get a wardrobe you abominable twat.
Embracing Flaws and Seeking Adventure
Bella Baxter I am Bella Baxter. I am a flawed, experimenting person. I seek outings and adventures. Bella's so much to discover. And there is a world to enjoy, circumnavigate. It is the goal of all to improve, advance, progress, grow.
Unpleasant Surroundings and Flower Preferences
Riggan How did we end up here? This place is horrible... Smells like balls. We don't belong in this shithole. ...Shit. Hey, Sam. Hi, hon.
[as Birdman; Riggan's video message on his computer goes off, breaking his trance; answers the call]
Sam Dad, what kind of... SHUT UP! ...What kind of flowers did you say you wanted?
[turns to yell at flower shop employee; to Riggan]
Riggan Alchemillas, or something that smells nice. You know, something soothing. Listen, I can't...
Sam It all smells like fucking kimchi!
Riggan Okay, something that looks nice. You know, anything but roses, okay?
[sighs]
Sam I hate this job.
Riggan I can't...
[Call drops]
High School Reputation and Misunderstandings
Brandon So what's with your new look? It's very whore couture.
Olive Oh, haven't you heard? I'm the new school slut.
Brandon You know, I did hear something. I also heard he was twice your age.
Olive Oh, no no no no. He was a freshman in college.
Brandon I also heard he gave you crabs.
Olive Ew! People suck!
Brandon Tell me about it.
Love for Spider-Man and Peter Parker
Gwen Stacy You're Spider-Man, and I love that. But I love Peter Parker more.
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.
