Force of Evil - Complexity of Love and Relationships
Joe Morse:
If you need a broken man to love, break your husband. I'm not a nickel, I don't spend my life in a telephone! If that's what you want for love, you can't use me.
Edna Tucker:
You're not strong or weak enough.

Force of Evil - Perception and Relationships in Force of Evil
Edna Tucker:
You're wide open, Joe. I can see into you without looking.
Joe Morse:
Don't bother; besides it's not nice to do.
Edna Tucker:
More interesting than when you have a rock for a husband like mine. He's a stone, that man. Whole world are rocks and stones to him.
Joe Morse:
Why tell me? Tell him.
Edna Tucker:
Never tell him anything. Makes me feel unnecessary.

The Killing - A Witty Exchange on Consequences and Compromise
Johnny Clay:
Alright sister, that's a mighty pretty head you got on your shoulders. You want to keep it there or start carrying it around in your hands?
Sherry Peatty:

The Killing - The Conflict Between Individuality and Conformity
Narrator:
At exactly 3:45 on that Saturday afternoon in the last week of September, Marvin Unger was, perhaps, the only one among the hundred thousand people at the track who felt no thrill at the running of the fifth race. He was totally disinterested in horse racing and held a lifelong contempt for gambling. Nevertheless, he had a $5 win bet on every horse in the fifth race. He knew, of course, that this rather unique system of betting would more than likely result in a loss, but he didn't care. For after all, he thought, what would the loss of twenty or thirty dollars mean in comparison to the vast sum of money ultimately at stake.
Maurice:
You have my sympathies, then. You have not yet learned that in this life you have to be like everyone else - the perfect mediocrity; no better, no worse. Individuality's a monster and it must be strangled in its cradle to make our friends feel confident. You know, I've often thought that the gangster and the artist are the same in the eyes of the masses. They are admired and hero-worshiped, but there is always present an underlying wish to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.
Sherry Peatty: [to George]
It isn't fair. I never had anybody but you. Not a real husband. Not even a man. Just a bad joke without a punch line.
