Sometimes in life, all you have are fucked up, poisonous choices.

Sydney: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Rosalyn: What do I think I'm doing? What the fuck do you think you're doing? You're going to come in here and judge me for flirting with someone else when you've been fucking my husband for how many years?
Sydney: You don't have any fucking clue what's going on!
Rosalyn: I have a ring on my finger. We have a child together!
Sydney: He doesn't love you, Rosalyn. He loves me. And you know it, and I know it, and he knows it. And it might be done now, but it was beautiful, and it was real...
Rosalyn: Stop it.
Sydney: -and we loved each other.
Rosalyn: Shut up.
Sydney: You scare him, and you manipulate him, and you use your son!
Rosalyn: Well, he must like it on some level. He must want it, because he keeps coming back for it. It's like that perfume that you love, that you can't stop smelling even when there's something sour in it. Can't get enough of it. Well guess what? He's never gonna leave me. He's always going to want me, and I will make you so sorry, Edith. I will make you so sorry for what you've done to my family. Mark my words!
Sydney: That is fucked up! I would never say anything that fucked up to anybody, but you do because you're gross inside. You're so fucked up and gross.
Rosalyn: Oh, I'm gross inside?
Sydney: Yeah!
Rosalyn: Maybe you're gross inside. What, robbing people and all that shit that you do? Maybe we're both gross inside. That's what Irving loves about us. At least he's consistent. You know, sometimes in life, all you have are fucked up, poisonous choices.

Daddy's a sick son-of-a-bitch?



Rosalyn Rosenfeld: Life is ridiculous. And you know that I would never say anything bad about your father in front of you, but your father is a sick son-of-a bitch.
Danny Rosenfeld: Daddy's a sick son-of-a-bitch?
Rosalyn Rosenfeld: Don't repeat that... but yes.

That's our thing.


Rosalyn
: We fight and then we fuck, that's our thing.
 “She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.”

American Hustle (2013) by David O. Russell

It's empty, just like your deals.

Irving Rosenfeld: I told you not to put metal in the science oven, what did you do that for?
Rosalyn Rosenfeld: Don't make such a big deal! Just get another one.
Irving Rosenfeld: I don't want another one, want the one that Carmine gave me.
Rosalyn Rosenfeld: Oh, Carmine! I want the one that Carmine gave me! Carmine! Carmine!
Why don't you just marry Carmine? Get a little gold microwave and put it on a chain around your neck! You wanna be more like Carmine? Why don't you build something, like he does? Instead of all your empty deals; they're just like your fuckin' science oven. You know, I read that it takes all of the nutrition out of our food! It's empty, just like your deals. Empty! Empty!
Irving Rosenfeld: Listen to this bullshit.
Rosalyn Rosenfeld: It's not bullshit! I read it in an article, look: By Paul Brodeur.
Bring something into this house that's gonna take all the nutrition out of our food and then light our house on fire? Thank God for me.

You are a very clever little humbug.

Stanley: You are a very clever little humbug.

Sophie: You think you'll trick me into showing you how I deceive people.

Magic in the Moonlight (2014) by Woody Allen

I say it looks pretty romantic.

Stanley: My aunt used to bring me here as a boy. The roof opens up and the universe is menacing.

Sophie: You find that menacing? I say it looks pretty romantic.

Magic in the Moonlight (2014) by Woody Allen

More mystery, more magic...

Stanley: I’m overwhelmed, Sophie. I never thought you could be this beautiful… I believe that the dull reality of life is all there is but you are proof that there's more, more mystery, more magic.

Magic in the Moonlight (2014) by Woody Allen

The more I watch her, the more I'm stunned.



Stanley: The more I watch her, the more I'm stunned. Could she be real? I'm beginning to question my own common sense.
Aunt Vanessa: You've always been so certain about the world and I've always tried to teach you that we don't know.

I always knew we were a fairly odd family.


I always knew we were a fairly odd family.

First there was me. Too tall. Too skinny.
Too orange.

My mum was lovely, but not like other mums.
There was something solid about her.
Something rectangular, busy and unsentimental.
Her fashion icon was the Queen.

Dad, well, he was more normal. He always
seemed to have time on his hands.
After giving up teaching university students on his 50th birthday,

he was eternally available for a leisurely chat or
to let me win at table tennis.

And then there was Mum's brother, Uncle Desmond.
Always impeccably dressed. He spent the days just, well,
being Uncle Desmond.
He was the most charming and least clever man you could ever meet.
His mind was on other things, though we never found out what.

And then, finally there was Catherine.
Katie. Kit Kat. My sister.
In a household of sensible jackets and haircuts there was this,

well, what can I call her, nature thing.
With her elfin eyes, her purple T - shirts and her eternally bare feet, she was then, and still is to me,
about the most wonderful thing in the world.
