• Josh : For the first time in my life I've stopped thinking of myself as a child imitating an adult.

  Cornelia : You feel that way too?

• Josh : It's like... he once saw a sincere person and he's been imitating him ever since.

• Dr. Nagato : You have arthritis in your knee.

  Josh : Arthritis arthritis?

  Dr. Nagato : Yes. I usually just say it once.

• [Last lines] 

  Josh : He's not evil. He's just young.

• Cornelia : I wish you'd look at me the way you look at Jamie and Darby. When we first met, you wooed me with romantic e-mails.

  Josh : It wouldn't make sense for me to send you e-mails now that we're in the same room all the time.

• Josh : I like our life as it is.

  Cornelia : Yeah. I mean if we wanted to take off to Paris tomorrow we could.

  Josh : If we're gonna do it, we should plan it with at least a month in advance.

  Cornelia : A month is still in the realm of spontaneity.

• Josh : You know, fuck you.

  Cornelia : Fuck you. Don't talk to me like that.

  Josh : I'm saying "fuck you" the way Jamie and Darby say it, where it's not a real "fuck you," it's a semi-playful "fuck you."

  Cornelia : We're not Jamie and Darby. We don't talk to each other that way. If you say "fuck you" to me, it feels like a real "fuck you."

  Josh : It is real.

  Cornelia : Fuck you. And not semi-playfully either.

  Josh : Fuck you. Total, real, cutting-to-the-core, fuck you.

• Jamie : I really loved your film. That scene with the dogs around the garbage. How did you stage that?

  Josh : I said 'Hey, shoot those dogs'.

• Josh : I've learned along the way you can discover more by allowing yourself to be surprised by what you encounter.

• Josh : Let's have kids.

  Cornelia : I don't want this to be 'Every time you take a hallucinogen you want to have a baby'.

  Josh : Not every time.

• Cornelia : My dad likes saying, "The more, the more."

  Josh : That's because your dad has everything and then he gets more.

• Leslie Breitbart : How's my daughter?

  Josh : How's she seem to you?

  Leslie Breitbart : Seems well.

  Josh : So why are you asking me?

• [a beach ball hits Josh's head] 

  Josh : Aaaah, what the shit? Watch it!

  Ball thrower : I love you!

  Josh : Ah, all right.

• Josh : I do know that documentaries are over.

  Jamie : Are you kidding? It's what everyone is doing.

  Josh : His documentaries are over. What you're doing is something else. If everyone is filming everything, what's a documentary anymore? It has no meaning, it's just some shit you recorded! Is that old man talk? Maybe it is. You kids have been told you can do anything. You think everything is out there for you to have. It's not.

  Jamie : Nobody owns anything. If I hear a song I like, or a story, it's mine. It's mine to use. It's everybody's.

  Josh : No, it isn't! That's not sharing, Jamie, that's stealing.

  Jamie : That's old man talk.

  Josh : I am an old man!

• Cornelia : They made a house out of twigs. And the wolf came.

  Josh : He blows it down.

  Cornelia : Yeah, but what happens in the middle?

  Josh : I keep wanting to do 'This little piggy went to the market, but that's with the toes'.

• Josh : It's weird, you know, I'm at that age where the things you think are only going to happen when you get older are actually happening.

  Jamie : If I'm going to be totally honest with myself, I don't think I'm ever going to die. I know that's crazy.

  Josh : It's crazy.

  Jamie : I think I'm pathologically happy.

• Josh : Leslie, are you kidding me? You don't care? You just gave a speech about authenticity!

  Leslie Breitbart : The movie works on so many levels, the happenstance of it, to be honest with you, is the least interesting part.
