Sentimental Value - Family Connections and Misunderstandings
Gustav Borg:
You two are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Nora Borg:
The best that's ever happened to you? Then why weren't you there?
Gustav Borg: [chuckles]
Everyone's mad at dad, huh? You two turned out fine, didn't you?
Nora Borg:
How can you tell? You don't even know us.
Agnes Borg Pettersen:
Stop exaggerating.
Nora Borg:
Exaggerating?
Agnes Borg Pettersen:
Yeah.
Gustav Borg:
I know it's been hard for you. I recognize myself in you. But you're so goddamn angry. It's hard to love someone who's so full of rage. Right? You don't want to be alone forever.

Sentimental Value - Conflict in Professional Relationships
Rachel Kemp: [about Nora rejecting a movie role given by Gustav]
Why didn't you want to do the role?
Nora Borg:
I can't work with him.
Rachel Kemp:
Why?
Nora Borg:
We can't really talk.
Rachel Kemp:
But he wanted you to do it.
Nora Borg:
Yeah... Yeah. I don't know.
Rachel Kemp: [beat]
Just keep thinking that he... he made a mistake. I just can't... I can't get a handle on her, you know? The more that I study her, the more lost I feel trying to be her. It's like her sadness is... It's such an overwhelming part of her. It's a beautiful thing. But I can't tell if that's just the cause of everything, or is it... I don't know, a symptom of something deeper? I don't wanna disappoint him, you know?
Nora Borg:
Well, he's a... very difficult person. But he's a really good director, and he sees something in you. You'd be stupid to walk away.

Sentimental Value - Contrasting Outcomes of Childhood Experiences
Nora Borg:
How did it happen? You turned out fine and I became fucked up.
Agnes Borg Pettersen:
That's not true.
Nora Borg:
Why didn't our childhood ruin you?
Agnes Borg Pettersen:
It hasn't always been easy for me.
Nora Borg:
But you've managed to make a family. A home.
Agnes Borg Pettersen:
Yeah. There's one major difference in the way we grew up: I had you. I know you think you're incapable of caring, but you were there for me. When mom was down, you washed my hair, combed it, got me to school, I felt safe.
