Danny
As disillusioned as I was with him, I hated you more.

The moment I did what I did, I regretted it.

I don't wanna discuss it. It's past. It's over. You can't take back that phone call.
Jasmine
I need you, Danny.
Danny
I don't wanna see you, Jasmine. I want the past past. I've become a different person, thanks to my wife. I'm off drugs. Just please, don't spoil everything. Just get out of my life so I can move on.

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
Too late for what?! For your future plans where you needed the appropriate wife?!
[bitterly]
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
Oh, no, no, no, you mean till I trapped you, is what you mean.
[bitterly]
Dwight
Your ethical behavior is equal to your ex-husband.
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
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.
[begins mumbling to herself]
Dwight
I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm taking you home.
[confused]
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?
Jasmine
I'm not going home. Can you let me out of the car. Let me out of the car!

Coping with Trauma and Anxiety in Public

Mom said you started screaming in the street.

Navigating Memories and Materialism in Blue Jasmine
Jasmine Francis
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.
[mumbling to herself; "Blue Moon" begins playing]

Desire for Meaning Beyond Menial Work
Jasmine Francis
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!
[Ginger tells Jasmine that Eddie knows a dentist looking for help; emotionally intense; shouts]

Confronting Self-Esteem and Personal Choices
Jasmine
Oh, for Christ sake! What's wrong with your self-esteem?! There's a world of men out there who never think about ripping the phone out of the wall!
Ginger
Hey, leave him alone. You're always picking on him.
Jasmine
No, you choose losers, okay? Because that's what you think you deserve. And that's why your living like this and that's why you'll never have a better life.
Ginger
I'm.. I'm living... I'm living like this! Because you married the biggest loser of all! And went your own sweet way! While he pissed away my one big chance to make a better life!
