Trust and Deception in Relationships

Dwight: Of course we can't get married! You lied to me!

Jasmine: Oh no!

Dwight: Up and down the line!

Jasmine: No, no, no! I wanted to tell you the truth! I just didn't wanna ruin everything!

Dwight: What?! Are you delusional?! Didn't you think I'd eventually find out?! What were you thinking?!

Jasmine: I don't know what I was thinking! I don't know! That everything happened in the past! You and I loved each other and get married--

Dwight: And what?! And what?! That it would just vanish?! Didn't you think that I would find out, if not today, or immediately eventually? Like after we were married? Or is that what you wanted? That you'd wait until it was too late?!

Jasmine: [bitterly] Too late for what?! For your future plans where you needed the appropriate wife?!

Dwight: I'm not saying that it would've been an issue, but that you could stand by and deceive me until I married you!

Jasmine: [bitterly] Oh, no, no, no, you mean till I trapped you, is what you mean.

Jasmine: I wasn't deceiving you when I said I loved you.

Dwight: God, I found out by chance! It was just by sheer chance!

Jasmine: [begins mumbling to herself] Okay, if it's over, it's over. I get it. You're not marrying me. I brought everything on myself. I've only got myself to blame. I did it to myself, as usual. As usual. You and your stupid little French whore.

Dwight: [confused] I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm taking you home.

Jasmine: Let me out of the car. Let me out of the car.

Dwight: Don't be ridiculous.

Jasmine: Can you just - can you just please let me out of the car.

Dwight: But how are you gonna get home?

Navigating Memories and Materialism in Blue Jasmine

Jasmine Francis: [mumbling to herself; "Blue Moon" begins playing] It's fraught with peril. They gossip, you know, they talk. I saw Danny. Yes, did I tell you? He's getting married. A weekend in Palm Beach means I can wear... what could I wear? I can wear the Dior dress I bought in Paris. Yes, my black dress. Well, Hal always used to surprise me with jewelry. Extravagant pieces. I think he used to buy them at auction. It's so obvious what you're doing. You think I don't know. French au pair. This was playing on the Vineyard. "Blue Moon". I used to know the words. I used to know the words. Now they're all a jumble.

Desire for Meaning Beyond Menial Work

Jasmine Francis: [Ginger tells Jasmine that Eddie knows a dentist looking for help; emotionally intense; shouts] Oh, forget it! Jesus, it's too menial! I'd go nuts. I wanna go back to school, get my degree and become...you know...Something substantial. I can't just do some mindless job. I was forced to take a job selling shoes on Madison Avenue. So humiliating. Friends I'd had at dinner parties at our apartment came in and I waited on them. I mean, do you have any idea what that's like? You know, one minute you're hosting women and the next, you're measuring their shoe size and fitting them. Erica Bishop came into the store. She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her. I saw you, Erica!
