Quotes
-
Adam : See, but... that's bullshit. That's what everyone has been telling me since the beginning. "Oh, you're gonna be okay," and "Oh, everything's fine," and like, it's not... It makes it worse... that no one will just come out and say it. Like, "hey man, you're gonna die."

Kyle : I was in the neighborhood - I was just on a date with Claire, the girl I met at the bookstore? My date did not go well, unfortunately, due to a lack of chemistry... and, I think, an overuse of profanity on my part. But, whilst on my date... I ran into Rachael.
Adam : Oh, yeah?
Kyle : And I would like to present to you what I am going to call Exhibit...
[Shows Adam a picture of Rachael kissing another man]
Kyle : *Whore*! Look at it! That's Rachael! And that's a fuckin' filthy, Jesus-looking motherfucker, and they're kissing! I did it! I fuckin' nailed you! I've hated you for months, and now I have fuckin' evidence that you suck as a person! Holy shit! Holy shit!
-
Adam : What were you doing when I called? Were you on Facebook?
Katherine : You know... umm... stalking my ex-boyfriend actually isn't the only thing I do in my free time.
Adam : I wish you were my girlfriend.
Katherine : Girlfriends can be nice. You just had a bad one.
Adam : I bet you'd be a good one.

[Adam is getting chemotherapy]
Alan : Want a macaroon?
Adam : Thanks. I'm alright.
Alan : [whispering] There's weed in 'em.
Adam : I don't do weed.
Alan : C'mon. Just get high with us!
[Adam reluctantly eats a macaroon]
Mitch : How old are you?
Adam : Twenty-seven.
Alan : That's just the worst. A perfectly good youth wasted.
Mitch : Alan, stop it. Don't listen to him, he's just messing with you.
Alan : Listen to me, this cancer is bullshit. First your hair's going to fall out, then your balls'll shrink. And if that isn't enough, your dick becomes a constant source of disappointment.
[Alan and Mitch laugh]
Adam : I got to tell you, I was really nervous about this whole cancer thing, and then I met you guys, and boy do I feel better.
-
Adam : I see. So, have you had very many patients? Or...
Katherine : My patient history is not...
Adam : I'm your first patient, aren't I?
Katherine : No. No, not at all.
Adam : Second?
Katherine : [laughs] No.
Adam : Third?
Adam : [Katherine rubs her hands together] Wow, okay, third. How are the first two doing?
-
Adam : I want this to be over. I'm so fucking tired of being sick... if this surgery doesn't work, that's it -
[crying]
Adam : I've never been to fucking Canada or told a girl I love her... it sounds stupid.
Katherine : No. It doesn't.
Adam : I'm sorry I was such an asshole.
Katherine : I was the asshole. I was so totally unprepared for you. This job is really hard. If I fuck up, I could ruin someone's whole life.
Adam : I guess we're both beginners at this.
Katherine : [smiles] Yeah.
-
Adam : Aren't you supposed to be wearing an earth-toned sweater and be like 65 or something?
-
Rachael : [Rachael has got Adam a dog, but he does not want it] "Ok, forget it i can just bring him back to the shelter in the morning."
Adam : Well then what happens to him.
Rachael : He'll be put back in his tiny cage with ten other dogs who will bully and rape him until he's eventually euthanized.
[the dog looks up appealingly]
-
Adam : [When Katherine comes to see Adam after his surgery] I'm peeing right now.
