Quotes 

• Steve : Who says we want what we think we want? We want what we think we are supposed to want? Like what the books tell us to want. And the movies. That's what I wanted. Happy. Happy, happy, happy. Shit like that, ok? We didn't get that. That's the end of that. Ok? It's not... the end of us. It's the end of a dream, that's all. You wake up in the morning, the dream's over, so what? We're still here...

• Monica : We are supposed to be talking

  Steve : screaming: We are talking!

  Monica : No, we are not talking.

  Steve : Ok, we'll talk, talk!... talk! talk!

  Monica : screams: aaaah!

• Monica : You really make me sick.

  Steve : Oh, thank you very much!

  Monica : If I eat, I wanna throw up. If I don't, I get a headache. If I sleep, I have nightmares. If I don't sleep, I get depressed. I can't move. I am stuck on a chair, just going over every word, and it just makes me even sicker.

  Steve : This is your idea of a conversation?

• Steve : I'm going crazy...

  Monica : See, that's different! I thought it was your everday garden-variety existential crisis. But crazy is different.
