Parental Traits in Marital Conflict
Nicole Barber You're being so much like your father.
[while arguing with Charlie]
Charlie Barber Do not compare me to my father!
Nicole Barber I didn't compare you to him. I said you were acting like him.
Charlie Barber You're exactly like your mother. Everything you were complaining about her, you're doing. You're suffocating Henry.
Nicole Barber First of all, I-I love my mother. She was a wonderful mother.
Charlie Barber I'm just repeating what you told me.
Nicole Barber Secondly, how dare you compare my mothering to my mother! I may be like my father, but I am not like my mother!
Charlie Barber You are! And you're like my father! You're also like my mother! You're all the bad things about all of these people! But mostly your mother. When we would lie in bed together, sometimes I would look at you and see her, and just feel so gross.
Nicole Barber I felt repulsed when you touched me!
Charlie Barber You're a slob. I made all the beds, closed all the cabinets, picked up after you like an infant!
Nicole Barber The thought of having sex with you makes me wanna peel my skin off.
[under]
Charlie Barber You'll never be happy. In LA or anywhere! You'll think you found some better, opposite guy than me, and in a few years, you'll rebel against him, because you need to have your voice. But you don't want a voice! You just want to fucking complain about not having a voice!
Nicole Barber I think about being married to you and that woman is a stranger to me! I mean, we had a... child's marriage...
Charlie Barber You've regressed. You've gone back to your life before you met me. It's pathetic.
Nicole Barber People used to tell me that you were too selfish to be a great artist. And I used to defend you! They were absolutely right!
Charlie Barber All your best acting is behind you. You're back to being a HACK!
Nicole Barber You gaslighted me! You're a fucking villain!
Charlie Barber You wanna present yourself as a victim because it's a good legal strategy? Fine. But you and I both know you chose this life! You wanted it until you didn't! You used me so you could get out of LA.
Nicole Barber I didn't use you.
Charlie Barber You did, and then you blamed me for it. You always made me aware of what I was doing wrong, how I was falling short! Life with you was joyless!
Nicole Barber What, so then you had to go and fuck someone else?!
Charlie Barber You shouldn't be upset that I fucked her, you should be upset that I had a laugh with her!
[referring to Mary Ann]
Nicole Barber Do you love her?!
Charlie Barber No! But she didn't hate me. You hated me!
Nicole Barber You hated me. You fucked somebody we worked with.
Charlie Barber You stopped having sex with me in the last year! I never cheated on you!
Nicole Barber That was cheating on me!
Charlie Barber But there's so much I could've done! I was a director in my twenties, who came from nothing and was suddenly on the cover of fuckin Time Out New York! I was hot shit, and I wanted to fuck everybody and I didn't! And I loved you and I didn't wanna lose you! But I'm in my twenties! And I didn’t wanna lose that too, and I kinda did! And you wanted so much so fast! I didn't even want to get married, and... FUCK IT! There's so much I didn't do!
Nicole Barber Well, thanks for that!
[chuckles sarcastically]
Charlie Barber You're welcome!
Nicole Barber I can't believe I have to know you FOREVER!
Charlie Barber You're fuckin insane! AND YOU'RE FUCKING WINNING!
[punches the wall in a rage]
Nicole Barber Are you kidding me?? I wanted to be married! I'd already lost! You didn't love me as much as I loved you!
Charlie Barber What does that have to do with LA? What??
[pause; Nicole stares at him, incredulous]
Nicole Barber You're so... merged with your own selfishness, you don't even identify it as selfishness anymore! You're such a DICK!
Charlie Barber EVERY DAY I WAKE UP AND I HOPE YOU'RE DEAD! Dead, like, if I could guarantee Henry would be okay, I'd hope you get an illness, AND THEN GET HIT BY A CAR AND DIE!
Charlie Barber I'm sorry...
[through tears]
Nicole Barber Me too.

Juan Antonio Well, now that the day's almost over, is it reasonable of me to ask you if you'll both join me in my room?
Vicky Oh, come on, I thought we'd settled that.
Cristina Vicky's just trying to say that she's engaged to be married, that's all.
Juan Antonio Great. Then these are her last days of freedom.
Vicky No. Look, I'm not free. I'm committed. You know what my theory is? And when I drink, I get brutally frank. I think that you're still hurting from the failure of your marriage to Maria Elena, and you're trying to lose yourself in empty sex.
Juan Antonio Empty sex? Do you have such a low opinion of yourself?

Critique of Parental Responsibility and Neglect
Jane Gould Oh, alright, the teddy bear has been compromised.
Annie Braddock Slamming the door in your kid's face is *not* okay. Spending more time on a benefit for kids that you've never met than you do with your own blood is *not* okay. Going to a SPA when your son has a fever of a hundred and four and not answering emergency calls, that officially makes you an unfit mother.
Mrs. X This is outrageous. Stop the tape.
Jane Gould Uh, no. This is clearly a disgruntled nanny. W-we might have something to learn here.
Annie Braddock Now I know that you're all pretty busy with your hair appointments, and your watsu massages and your attempts to stay young so your husbands won't leave you. But here's an idea! Why don't you try eating dinner with your child every once in a blue moon. And heads up here, lady, try smiling once in a while. People hate you.

[pause]
Nicole Barber Do you understand why I want to stay in LA?
Charlie Barber No.
Nicole Barber Well, that's not-Charlie, that's not a useful way for us to start...
Charlie Barber I don't understand it.
Nicole Barber You don't remember promising that we could do time out there?
Charlie Barber We discussed things. We were married, we said things. We talked about moving to Europe, about getting a sideboard or what do you call it, a credenza, to fill that empty space behind the couch. We never did any of it.

Charlotte Yeah. I'm in pain, I got my foot banged up. Wanna see it?
Bob How do you say no? Oh, my gosh! When did you do this?
[''to Chef, sarcastically'']
Charlotte I did it the other day. It hurts, y'know?
Bob Didn't you feel any pain?
Charlotte Yeah, it really hurt.
Bob That toe is almost dead. I think I got to take you to a doctor. You can't just put that back in the shoe. Well, you either go to a doctor or you leave it here. He's smiling. You like that idea? See they love black toe in this country.

Child-Rearing Dynamics in Manhattan's Upper East Side
Annie Braddock Child-rearing around the world boasts a wide variety of customs and mores. But perhaps the most bizarre social patterns can be found within the small island community of Manhattan... The inhabitants of the region known as the Upper East Side have the most prosperous, yet idiosyncratic social systems on the planet. After successfully mating and producing offspring, the men are often distant and uninvolved, leaving their women to hunt, gather and provide for their families. Yet the resourceful mothers of the Upper East Side have plenty of time to participate in a variety of sex-role specific activities. These include body mutilation, sacred meditation, even fasting rituals. Which brings us to our focus on child-rearing: Who actually does it? Well, in Africa, they have a saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." But for the tribe of the Upper East Side, it takes just one person: the Nanny.

DeeAnna Moran Yeah. Yeah.

The Illusion of Human Uniqueness and Connection
Lucy Every cell knows and talks to every other cell. They exchange a thousand bits of information between themselves per second. Cells join together forming a joint web of communication, which in turn forms matter. Cells get together, take on one form, deform, reform — makes no difference, they're all the same. Humans consider themselves unique, so they've rooted their whole theory of existence on their uniqueness. "One" is their unit of "measure" — but it's not. All social systems we've put into place are a mere sketch: "one plus one equals two", that's all we've learned, but one plus one has never equaled two — there are in fact no numbers and no letters, we've codified our existence to bring it down to human size, to make it comprehensible, we've created a scale so we can forget its unfathomable scale.
