Lars and the Real Girl - Understanding Mental Health and Family Dynamics
Dagmar:
Have there been any changes in the family in the last year or so?
Gus: [while Karin simultaneously nods "Yes"]
No, everything is pretty much exactly the same except Karin is pregnant and Lars is nuts.
Dagmar:
You know, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. What we call mental illness isn't always just an illness. It can be a communication; it can be a way to work something out.
Gus:
Fantastic. When will it be over?
Dagmar:
When he doesn't need it anymore.
Karin:
How can we help?
Dagmar:
Go along with it.
Karin:
Oh, no. No, that's... No.
Gus:
Oh, my. No, no, no. No. No, I mean, pretend that she's real? I'm not gonna do that. I mean, I can't. I'm just not gonna do it.
Dagmar:
She is real.
Gus:
Well...
Dagmar:
She's right out there.
Gus:
Right, right, I get that, but I'm just not gonna, you know...
Dagmar:
You won't be able to change his mind, anyway. Bianca's in town for a reason.
Gus:
But - but...
Dagmar:
It's not really a choice.
Karin:
Okay. Okay, all right, we'll do it, whatever it takes.
Gus:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And everyone's gonna laugh at him.
Dagmar:
And you.

Lars and the Real Girl - Discussing Relationships and Personal Connections
Dagmar:
So, tell me about Karin. I don't know her very well.
Lars:
Oh, she's wonderful. Gus and I are very lucky with women - she's wonderful. But she...
Dagmar:
That's okay, let's find you something to read.
Lars:
No, it's just... between us?
Dagmar:
Of course.
Lars:
I'm worried about her. I think she has a little problem.
Dagmar:
Oh, well, maybe you shouldn't tell me.
Lars:
No, that's okay. It's just, and I think it's because she's insecure, it's just, she's just always trying to hug everybody. You know, some people don't like that. Some people don't like to be hugged. But she doesn't realize that. She takes it personally, and, it hurts her feelings. I don't know what to do about that. Do you?
Dagmar:
It's such a comfort sometimes, just to have somebody's arms around you. Don't you think?
Lars:
No.
Dagmar:
It feels good.
Lars:
It does not feel good. It, it hurts.
Dagmar:
Oh, like a cut, or bruise?
Lars:
Like a burn. Like when you go outside and your feet freeze and you come back in and then they thaw out? It's like that. It's almost exactly like that.
Dagmar:
Same with everyone?
Lars:
Uh, not really with Bianca. But everyone else.

Easy A - Reputation 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.

You know, nothing you're saying is making me feel any better.

Mom!

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.

Well, put it in the pile of gifts from my other suitors.

He seems like a nice kid. He seemed a little incredibly gay...

We are not dating, Mom.

Bye now...

You know, I dated a homosexual once. For a long time, actually... a long time...

Dear God, dear Lord, tell me you didn't marry and have children with him!
