Closer

That's the most stupid expression in the world. 'I fell in love'—as if you had no choice. There's a moment, there's always a moment; I can do this, I can give in to this or I can resist it. I don't know when your moment was but I bet there was one.

I love everything about you that hurts.

Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off. But it's better if you do.

• Dan: I love you. • Alice: Where? • Dan: What? • Alice: Show me. Where is this 'love'? I can't see it, I can't touch it, I can't feel it. I can hear it, I can hear some words but I can't do anything with your easy words.

Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood! Go fuck yourself!

Everything is a version of something else.

I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.

I know who you are. I love you. I love everything about you that hurts.

Alice: I don’t love you anymore. Goodbye. Dan: Since when? Alice: Now. Just now.

I don't want to lie. I can't tell the truth. So it's over.

Alice: It's the only way to leave. "I don't love you anymore. Goodbye." Dan: Supposing you do still love them? Alice: You don't leave.

What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change, it's the currency of the world.

I think you owe me something for deceiving me so exquisitely.

We arrive with our...'baggage' and for a while they're brilliant, they're 'Baggage Handlers.' We say, 'Where's your baggage?' They deny all knowledge of it...'They're in love'...they have none. Then...just as you're relaxing...a Great Big Juggernaut arrives...with their baggage. It Got Held Up. One of the greatest myths men have about women is that we overpack.

DAN What do you want? ALICE To be loved. DAN That simple? ALICE It's a big want.

I am waiting for a man to come in here and fuck me sideways with a beautiful line like that

Men want a girl who looks like a boy. They want to protect her but she must be a survivor. And she must come...like a train...but with...elegance.

Deception is brutal, I'm not pretending otherwise.

Dan: You've ruined my life. Anna: You'll get over it.

Thank God life ends—we'd never survive it. From Big Bang to weary shag, the history of the world. Our flesh is ferocious...our bodies will kill us...our bones will outlive us.

Alice: Is it because she's successful? Dan: No. It's because... she doesn't need me.

Pleasure and self destruction...The perfect poison.

Alice: Did you phone her, beg her to come back - when you went for lovely walks? Dan: Yes. Alice: You're a piece of shit.

Anna: Since my opening last year...I'm disgusting. Larry: You're phenomenal. You're so clever.

Everything is a version of something else

She was...disarming.
