Polly Perkins
It's only a movie, Mr. Paley. I'll bring you some popcorn.

Sydney
Here's a robe and some stuff for you.
Clementine
Captain?
Sydney
Yeah?
Clementine
Do you wanna fuck me?
Sydney
Do you think that?
Clementine
Well, you brought me here.
Sydney
Do you think that?
Clementine
I don't know.
Sydney
You should know before you ask a question like that.

Well, you're being nice to me--
Sydney
So you'd think I'd want that?
Clementine
If you wanted to fuck me--
Sydney
Stop saying that.
Clementine
It just seemed like--

Well, don't let it seem that way. This is a comfortable bed for you. I want you to sleep on it...to give you something to--a place to have a nice shower and a bed.
Clementine
Don't get angry.
Sydney
No, I'm not...because I understand...how you could ask a question like that.
Clementine
Now you really look at me as a piece of shit.
Sydney
No.
Clementine
All right.

A City’s Burden and New Beginnings
Somerset
Why don't you tell me what's really bothering you, Tracy?
Tracy
David and I are gonna have a baby.
Somerset
Oh, Tracy... I don't think I'm the one to talk to about this...
[baffled]
Tracy
I hate this city.
Somerset
I had a relationship once. It was very much like a marriage. We got pregnant. This was long time ago. I remember getting up one morning and going to work. Just another day like any other, except it was the first day after I knew about … pregnancy. And I felt this fear for the first time ever. I remember thinking, "How can I bring a child into a world like this? How can a person grow up with all this around them?" I told her I didn't want to have it, and over the next few weeks, I wore her down.
[sighs]
Tracy
I want to have children.
Somerset
I can tell you now that I know … I mean, I'm positive … that I made the right decision. But there's not a day that passes that I don't wish that I had made a different choice. If you don't keep the baby – I mean, if that's your decision – don't ever tell him that you were pregnant. But if you choose to have this baby, you spoil that kid every chance you get. That's about all the advice I can give you, Tracy.
[Tracy starts crying]

The Nature of True Love
Viola De Lesseps
I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all. No... not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that overthrows life. Unbiddable, ungovernable - like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. Love - like there has never been in a play.

Heartbreak and Uncertainty in Relationships
Marge Sherwood
Dick? Dickie? I know you can hear me. What am I doing, chasing you around...? I was going to say I would count to three and if you didn't open the door, but I won't count any more. On you. I won't count on you any more. Whatever it is, whatever you've done or haven't done, you've broken my heart. That's one thing I know you're guilty of, and I don't know why. I don't know why, I just don't know why...

Confronting Past Grievances in a Relationship
Polly Perkins
It's been three years, Joe. You're not still mad at me, are you? Can't even remember what we were fighting about.
Joseph Sullivan
You sabotaged my plane.
Polly Perkins
Right.
Joseph Sullivan
I spent six months in a Manchurian slave camp because of you. They were gonna cut off my fingers.
Polly Perkins
Joe, for the last time, I didn't sabotage your damn airplane!
Joseph Sullivan
All so you could get a photograph of Tojo Hideki in his bathrobe, remember?
Polly Perkins
You know, I'm starting to think that you've invented this whole sabotage nonsense to cover the fact that you were running around on me with your little mystery girl the whole time we were in Nanjing.

Tensions Rise in a Critical Situation
British Officer
Commander, we've lost power to the forward rotors. We're losing altitude.
Captain Francesca Cook
All engines, reverse full. Get us out of here.
Joseph Sullivan
Francesca, you've got to get me on that island.
Captain Francesca Cook
I'm not about to risk the lives of my men for one of your silly antics.
Joseph Sullivan
He's got Dex.
Captain Francesca Cook
Rescind order! You´ll never make it from the air. We have to find you another way.
Joseph Sullivan
There's a tidal flow on the eastern face of the island.
Captain Francesca Cook
It's too deep. We're not rated past 100 meters. But... this area here, there's an undersea inlet at the southern tip and it runs beneath the entire length of the island. That is your only way in. Everything else is sheer rock to the edge of the water.
Polly Perkins
What about those machines? How do we get past them?
Captain Francesca Cook
Leave that to me. Alert the amphibious squadron!

The Burden of Professional Expectations
Sydney
Tell me something. Are you required to flirt, to behave as you do toward that table of men over there? Maybe... it's some part of your job?
[at the cocktail lounge]
Clementine
Uh, they don't say to do it.
Sydney
But if you don't?
Clementine
Well, then I get questioned, like: "Why were so rude to them?", and, I mean, I can't talk back. I can't tell them to fuck off and leave me alone.
Sydney
As a rule?
Clementine
I'd also lose the tip.
Sydney
Sounds like an occupational hazard.

Fear of the Unknown in Childhood
Estella
Let's say there was a little girl, and from the time she could understand, she was taught to fear... let's say she was taught to fear daylight. She was taught that it was her enemy, that it would hurt her. And then one sunny day, you ask her to go outside and play and she won't. You can't be angry at her, can you?

Talent and Identity in Conversation
