Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Robin Reed : So tonight's the big night. I'm a little nervous, but I think it's gonna work out just fine. And you now what, Nick still hasn't called. It's been a week now. Fucking asshole. He told me he was going to take me to see his mom last Sunday. You know a guy really cares about you when he takes you to see his mom. That's real love. Come to think of it, I've never met anyone's mom before. It's the first time for me. Fuck him anyway. What about you, how many moms have you met?

• Store Clerk : How 'bout you, how long you been smoking?

  Robin Reed : Been trying to start actually, just can't seem to get addicted.

• Jason Valentine : I can make a knife out a toothbrush.

  Robin Reed : Wow. I can put my legs behind my ears, you know that?

• Robin Reed : Don't get me wrong, I love God, God rocks. But I'm tired of his bullshit.

• Robin Reed : You know, they say the universe can only expand so far before it slows down. Right now it's getting smaller, contracting. Everything's being driven slowly together, and they say it's going to collapse in on itself in a violent implosion - some day.

  Jason Valentine : I heard it was still expanding from the Big Bang. That it always will.

  Robin Reed : Gosh, I hope you're right Jason.

• Robin Reed : You ever hear of the anthropic principle? It basically says that everything that exists on Earth and in the universe, is specifically designed and created for the sole purpose of mankind's existence. Take the Sun and the Earth for example, exactly 93 million miles apart. Any closer to the Sun and the planet would be too hot to sustain life; any farther it would be too cold. The distance of the moon is critical to the oceans and their tidal systems. If the moon's distance was off by just a few thousand miles, the effects would be catastrophic. Look at the earth's gravitational pull, the density of gases in the atmosphere, the density of ice crystals in liquid water, hell, even the freckin' asteroid that hit Chicxulub during the Cretaceous period.

  Jason Valentine : What the fuck are you talking about?

  Robin Reed : There's a grand design behind all of this. I mean everything. Everything that we've done, everything that's happened in the past, has all been planned out from the beginning by a higher power.

  Jason Valentine : So you're trying to tell me that that the higher powers that be, made a plan trillions of years ago for the universe to explode, and for you and me to be sitting on the hood of this car, smoking Marlboros under the stars, in Macon Florida, this very moment.

  Robin Reed : Yep.

• Robin Reed : Sex and avoiding happiness are the only two things I've been good at in my life.

  Robin Reed : Are we all still here?

  Jason Valentine : We certainly are. Everyone.

  Robin Reed : Why that's some shit...
