A Simple Exchange About Self-Care
Lou:
Maybe you should take a shower. It'll make you feel better.
Margot:
I don't want to take a shower.
Lou:
Just do me a favor, ok?
Margot:
You?
Lou:
Yeah.
Margot:
Every — ?
Lou:
Every day.
Margot:
There's no —
Lou: [straight-faced]
There's no problem with the water. There's nothing to get fixed. I thought when we're 80, I'll tell Margot I've been doing this her whole life, and it'll make her laugh. As kind of a long-term joke.

A Playful Proposal for Future Romance

I'd like to make a date to kiss you.
Daniel:
Well... my schedule's fairly flexible.
Margot:
Is it flexible in 30 years?
Daniel:
30 years?
Margot:
I'd like to see you at the lighthouse in Louisbourg. I'd like to meet you there. I'll be 58, I don't know how old you'll be...
Daniel:
I'll be 59.
Margot:
I'd like to see you there, on this date, at... 2PM. Eastern Standard time. August 5th, 2040, I'd like to kiss you. Until then, I'm married. But after 35 years of being faithful to my husband I think I'll have earned one kiss from you.

Discomfort with Transitional States of Life
Daniel:
I've been thinking about that airport fear of yours, of being in between things. I think I kinda hate it too. I know it's kind of the nature of being alive, but I'd like to avoid it wherever possible. I don't think I wanna be in between things.

Moments of Melancholy and Being Alive
Margot:
Sometimes I'm... walking along the street and a shaft of sunlight falls in a certain way across the pavement and I just wanna cry. And then a second later, it's over. I decide because I'm an adult, to not succumb to the momentary melancholy; and I thought that sometimes with Tony, she just had a moment like that. A moment of not known how or why, and she just let herself go into and there was nothing anyone could do to make it any better. It was just her and the fact of being alive, colliding.
