ALEX (from UP IN THE AIR)

Huh, let me think for a sec. (mulls it over) Well, by the time you’re thirty four, all the physical
requirements are pretty much out the window. I mean you secretly prey he’ll be taller than you.
Ryan smiles.
Not an asshole would be nice? Just someone who enjoys my company. Comes from a good
family - You don’t think about that when you’re younger. (thinking) Wants kids... Likes kids...
Wants kids. Healthy enough to play catch with his future son one day.
We can tell Ryan is taking a serious interest in this.
Please let him earn more than I do. That doesn’t make sense now, but believe me, it will one
day. Otherwise it’s just a recipe for disaster. (reaching) Hopefully some hair on his head...? But
it’s not exactly a deal-breaker anymore. Nice smile... Yep, a nice smile just might do it.

KAFFEE (from A FEW GOOD MEN)

Markinson's dead.
JO and SAM are frozen.
You really gotta hand it to those Federal Marshals, boy.
(he almost has to laugh)
It's not like he hanged himself by his shoelaces or slashed his wrists with a concealed butter
knife. This guy got into full dress uniform, stood in the middle of that room, drew a nickle plated
pistol from his holster, and fired a bullet into his mouth.

WILL (from GOOD WILL HUNTING)

'Cause that's a serious thing you're
sayin'. I mean, we might be in
California next week and you could
find out somethin' about me that you
don't like. And you might feel like
"hey this is a big mistake."
(getting upset)
But you can't take it back, 'cause
you know it's real serious and you
can't take somethin' like that back.
Now I'm in California, 'cause you
asked me to come. But you don't really
want me there. And I'm stuck in
California with someone who really
doesn't want me there and just wishes
they had a take-back.
 KATHLEEN (from YOU’VE GOT MAIL)

If I really knew you, I know what I would find -- instead

of a brain, a cash register, instead of a heart, a bottom

line.

Kathleen is
shocked at herself.

I just had a breakthrough, and I

have to thank you for it. For the

first time in my life, when

confronted with a horrible,

insensitive person I actually knew

what I wanted to say and I said

it.

MAYA (from SIDEWAYS)

I like to think about the life of wine. How it’s a living thing. I like to think about what was going on
in the year the grapes were growing. How the sun was shining. If it rained. I like to think about
all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it’s an old wine, how many of them
must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve. Like if I opened a bottle of wine today
it would taste different than if I’d opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually
alive. And it’s constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is until it peaks, like your 61, then
it begins its steady, inevitable decline.
And it tastes so fucking good.

SOPHIE (from FRANCES HA)

I want to move into this apartment with Phoebe. It’s this great apartment in the West Village
which is what I’ve always wanted and you know that but I don’t want to do it if you’re not okay
with it --
But they need to know by tomorrow. So I kind of need to tell them something today...
We could look for another place together, if you want, but it’s really hard to find stuff in the West
Village. I know it’s so expensive. My raise just barely covers the rent. I’m not leaving you - I’m
just moving neighborhoods.
Frances’s eyes well up.
Are you okay?

LENA (from PUNCH DRUNK LOVE)

So I want to tell you something, I gotta tell you: I saw a picture of you guys, your sisters and
you, and I saw your picture and I really wanted to meet you.
(beat)
I came to drop off my car there on purpose, to try and meet you.
...I thought I should tell you. I didn’t want to get too far along on going out and be hiding
something.

TOMMY (from PEAKY BLINDERS)

Arthur offers the bottle of whisky. Tommy takes it to the window. He unscrews the cork and takes
a swig.
First of all, the bang in the pub
was nothing to do with London...
Questions are almost asked from lots of directions but Tommy raises his hand and continues...
The bang is something I’m dealing
with on my own.
And we have nothing to fear from
the proposed business expansion. So long as we stick together. And after the first few weeks
nine tenths of what we do down there will be legal. The other tenth is in good hands.
Tommy then wanders close to Aunt Polly. His proximity suggests that his next statement is
meant for her.
There are many in this room who have expressed their reservations.
Aunt Polly looks away...
And any of you who want no part of
the future of this company are free to walk out the door. Right now.
Go and raise your chickens.
But those of you with ambition?
The expansion process begins tomorrow.

SKYE DAVIDSON (from THE ANNIVERSARY PARTY)

Oh my God, sorry. I'm interrupting.
I'm in the same room with Sally Nash. Oh
my God. You're my icon. I've been
watching your films since I was a little
girl. Like, four years ago I followed
 you all around the Beverly Center - at
least half a day, working up the courage
to introduce myself.
Whatever, do you remember? I've seen all
your movies. When I was in rehab, the
second time, they wouldn't even let us
see your drug addict movie. They said
you were too real. I worship you. And I
couldn't be more flattered, because I
know the part I'm playing in Joe's movie
is based on you as a young woman.

And I'm overwhelmed. And I want to do it

justice. And I hope we can spend time
together. And I'm gushing. It's my
worst quality.

No you are not. You're Sally Nash.

Listen to me, you're Sally Nash. You're
my best friend and I love you more than
anyone, and you're not going to move to
London to have the offspring of a
sexually ambivalent man-child. "Oh now
I'm a novelist, oh now I'm a director..."
English prick bastard Joe Therrian who's
probably going to leave you for Skye
Davidson anyway.

They hug a bit weepy.

SOPHIA (CONT'D)
He's always one step removed, always
looking over his shoulder always looking
for something else, something more
intoxicating, and I don't mean drugs. I
love him, Sal, but he's a child. He's
not ready.
(a choked sob, tears well and
fall)
Oh God, you're so lucky you don't have
kids. You can't stick your head in the
oven. You can't take a handful of
Percoden if you want to, or slit your
 wrists. You can't do yourself in. Kids
rob you of that option. Trust me.
(a beat)
Oh my God, this ecstacy must be really
good.

MASON [from SHORT TERM 12]

(beat)
You’re sorry?
(beat)
Grace, are you serious?
(beat)
I’ve been waiting for you for a
really long time, and I wouldn’t
take a second of it back, because I
love you so god damn much, okay?
But I have been waiting for three
years for you to tell me why you
still don’t trust me. I’ve been
waiting for you for three years for
you to just once take the advice
that you give your kids every
fucking five minutes and learn to
talk about what’s going on inside
your head. You can’t do that for
me?
Grace shakes her head.
Whatever it is, okay? Just talk to
me.

KYM (from RACHEL GETTING MARRIED)

Hello. I'm Shiva the destroyer and your harbinger of doom for the evening. I want to thank you
all for coming and welcome you even though I haven't seen most of you since my latest stretch
in the Big House...
Scattered low giggles
You all look fabulous. During the twenty minutes I was not in the hole for making a shiv out of
my toothbrush, I actually did participate in the infamous 12 Step program. 12 Steps.
Step-ball- change, step-ball-change. I'm still waiting for the change part.
 Some guests laugh. Sidney grins. Carol, Paul, Rachel, and Abby sit silently. Andrew moves in
towards his wife.
But as they always say, relapse is an almost inevitable component of recovery, God knows I’ve
got high marks in that mode!
Everyone is staring at Kym.
Anyway, I did a lot of apologizing to people who were practically strangers so I very much want
to take this opportunity to not only congratulate my extraordinary sister, the future explorer in
matters of the mind, thank you very much, and her adorable, impending husband on the
occasion of their unprecedented nuptials.. but also to apologize to my extraordinary sister, the
future explorer in matters of the mind, for... Everything! And I really mean that, Rachel. I’ve been
a nightmare and you’ve been a saint. I’m so damned glad I’m here with you and Sidney and his
family and ours, and I am so happy for you guys, I really am. So, I am hereby raising my seltzer
in celebration of my laudatory sister and herewith making amends. Sidney, you are robbing our
dysfunctional family of one of its most vital ingredients, and its only member still willing to lend
me money.
She pauses for a second
Enjoy Hawaii. La Chaim.
She lifts her glass and downs it's contents. There is a smattering of applause.
One down. What's for dessert?
