Quotes 

• Charlie Salinger : I know you feel alone in this, Julia, but you're not. You're not the first one to ever make this decision. Something like a million women every year...

  Julia Salinger : I know the statistics, Charlie. Thanks.

  Charlie Salinger : I went with a girlfriend once to get one. In college.

  Julia Salinger : You did?

  Charlie Salinger : Yeah. Debra... Debra. Debra Lots of Bracelets Debra.

  [laughs] 

  Charlie Salinger : We didn't talk much beforehand about the decision. I mean, it just made sense for both of us. We weren't even 20 and it's not like we were in love with each other or anything. So I felt really bad about it for a while afterwards, but that feeling, it goes away. You don't carry it around with you forever, Julia. You really don't. I mean, before this happened with you, I hadn't even thought about it in, like, years.

  Julia Salinger : And what about her?

  Charlie Salinger : Well, it took a little time, I guess, but yeah. After a while, she was okay.

  Julia Salinger : So you stayed in touch?

  Charlie Salinger : Well... no. Not exactly.

  Julia Salinger : So how do you know that she doesn't still carry this around with her?
