• Margot : Sometimes I'm... walking along the street and a shaft of sunlight falls in a certain way across the pavement and I just wanna cry. And then a second later, it's over. I decide because I'm an adult, to not succumb to the momentary melancholy; And I thought that sometimes with Tony, she just had a moment like that. A moment of not known how or why, and she just let herself go into and there was nothing anyone could do to make it any better. It was just her and the fact of being alive, colliding.

  Daniel : Or maybe you just didn't figure out what it was.

• Margot : A dog is like a starter for a kid.

  Lou : No, a dog is like a starter for a cow... or a bigger animal.

  Lou : It's hard to know, I guess.

  Geraldine : Really. I look in the mirror and want to fuck myself.

• Margot : I'm afraid of being afraid.

  Daniel : That sound like the most dangerous thing in the world.

• Margot : [holding the painting Daniel made her]  I guess my response is... Fuck you.

• Margot : I remember when my niece, The Tony was newborn... Reserving the... And sometimes crying, as do babies, and... And... I did what I could to find the cause. Hungry, is tired? Has rash? 9 times out of 10 I solve the problem, but... Sometimes... I do not know... Sometimes... I walk in the street, and... A ray of light illuminates a special way the sidewalk... And... I want to cry... And... after a second over. And I decide, because i'm an adult. Decide not to leave the emotional moment. And this some thought times with Tony. And she just lived such a time. One moment he did not know how and why and just let herself. And he could not do someone something about it to make it better. He was alone. And the fact that 're alive... Conflict... with this... Yes. - Or just do not understand what it was. -Yes.
