Brendan Frye: Screwed up how?

Emily: Look, I did what she said with the brick. I didn't know it was bad, but The Pin's on it now for poor Frisco, and they're playing it all on me.

Brendan Frye: Slow down, now. What?

Emily: You gotta help me Brendan, please. I think Tug...

Emily: Oh no!

[she hangs up, then car speeds past Brendan]

Emily: Brendan, I know you're mad at these people because you think I went away from you and went to them but, you need to start seeing it as my decision. Stop getting angry because where I want to be at, is different from where you want to be at.

Brendan Frye: Who fed you that line, Em?

Emily: Stop picking on Dode. He's a good guy.

Brendan Frye: The pie house rat?

Emily: He's a good friend.

Brendan Frye: So, what am I?

Emily: Yeah, I mean what are you? Just sitting back here, hating everyone? Who are you to judge anyone? God, I really loved you a lot. I couldn't stand it. I had to get with people. I couldn't have a life with you anymore.

Emily: [She and Tiger enter Major Payne's office] Apparently he had a little accident.

Major Payne: Apparently he pissed all over the front of his pants.

Emily: Well maybe that's because he's six.

Major Payne: Because he's six? Woman, when I was six years old I had a full time job.

Major Payne: Maybe what he need is for you to pop your titty out his mouth and let the boy grow up.

Emily: Excuse me, what did you say?

Major Payne: I didn't stutter, I said pop-your-titty-out-his-mouth AND STOP BABYING HIM.

Emily: I don't call it babying, I call it nurturing.

Major Payne: And I call it neutering.

Emily: And I call you an insecure, overbearing, psychopathic, edictorial, ego maniacal, frigid lunatic ASSHOLE!

Major Payne: I ain't frigid.

Major Payne: Any man that'd leave you outta be monkey-stomped and have his brains mailed back to his mother.

Emily: Well, thank you Benson. How about you? Was there ever a Ms. Payne?

Major Payne: I don't like it. It makes me feel all funny.

[Major Payne has shaved the children bald]

Emily: Major Payne, can you please help me to understand why you shaved the children bald?

Major Payne: Oh, that's my little incentive program. These boys have to earn their do... their hair-do that is. Heh,Heh,Heh.

Emily: [as Payne is hazing the cadets by making them run around the Madison campus in drag] Major, WHAT are the boys doing in those DRESSES?

Major Benson Winifred Payne: Oh, they're just puttin' on a fashion show.

Emily: Do you really think THIS is the best way to gain the respect and admiration of these young men?

Major Benson Winifred Payne: They may not like me, but they WILL respect me.

Emily: Let me be more direct: they HATE you.

Major Benson Winifred Payne: Good. It'll draw 'em close together, make 'em a team.

Emily: That's a very cynical plan!

Major Benson Winifred Payne: Yeah, well at least it won't backfire. Besides, they started it.

Emily: Here. I want you to read this book. Read it. Apply it.

Major Payne: The ABC's Of Being A Positive Male Role Model?

Emily: [Whilst using her phone to book an uber] Listen, I had a really nice time, thank you very much. I'm just going to like, call an Uber, go home and I hope

[gets interrupted by Kumail's phone alert]

Emily: Just...

Kumail: [showing Emily the Uber request] Your driver will be ready as soon as he puts on his pants.

Cal: How about we say what we want on three? One, two, three.

Emily: I want a divorce.

Cal: [at the same time] Creme brulee.

Cal: I'm so mad at you. I'm really mad at you for what you did. But I'm mad at myself too. Because I should not have jumped out of that car - I should have fought for you. Because you fight for your soul mates.

Emily: I miss you.

Emily: When I told you when I had to work late? I really went to go see the new Twilight movie by myself, and it was so bad.

Kate: As you know Robbie's shining moment this year was when he set a school record for cursing in an eighth grade English class.

[gets up and writes on blackboard]

Kate: Asshole. You're familiar with that word, Mrs Weaver?

Emily: Yes, I am and I've spoken to the Principal...

Kate: Asshole. As in someone who tells a woman he'll call and never does. Asshole. As in someone who uses honesty to get a woman into bed with him but is actually full of shit, like the rest of them.

Emily: [looking at Cal] This is not about Robbie...

Kate: Asshole. Someone who allows a woman to go downtown for 45 minutes because he's nervous!

Emily: Ewww!

Cal: Are you pointing at me?

Robbie: You're pointing at him?

Emily: She's pointing at him? OH!

Emily: Fat Amy, you have a lovely vagina.

Fat Amy: Thank you.

Emily: Andrea, my God! You look so chic.

Andy Sachs: Oh, thanks. You look so thin.

Emily: Really? It's for Paris, I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

Emily: [to Andy] You sold your soul to the devil when you put on your first pair of Jimmy Choo's, I saw it.

Emily: I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?

Andy Sachs: [panicking over getting the Harry Potter manuscript] Is she back? Am I fired?

Emily: You know, I rarely say this to people who... aren't me, but you have got to calm down! Bloody hell...

Emily: Okay, I am hearing this...

[she moves her hand in a speech mimiking sign]

Emily: And I want to hear this.

[she closes her hand]

Miranda Priestly: I don't understand why it's so difficult to confirm an appointment.

Emily: I know. I'm so sorry, Miranda. I actually did confirm last night.

Miranda Priestly: Details of your incompetence do not interest me. Tell Simone I'm not going to approve that girl that she sent me for the Brazilian layout. I asked for clean, athletic, smiling. She sent me dirty, tired and paunchy. And R.S.V.P. Yes to Michael Kors' party, I want the driver to drop me off at 9:30 and pick me up at 9:45 sharp. Call Natalie at Glorious Foods and tell her no for the 40th time. No! I don't want dacquoise. I want tortes filled with warm rhubarb compote. Then call my ex-husband and remind him that the parent-teacher conference is at Dalton tonight. Then call my husband, ask him to meet me for dinner at that place I went to with Massimo. Tell Richard I saw the pictures that he sent for that feature on the female paratroopers and they're all so deeply unattractive. Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender, female paratrooper? Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really. Also, I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gwyneth's second cover try. I wonder if she's lost any of that weight yet.

[seeing Andy]

Miranda Priestly: Who is that?

Emily: When I am not here... Andrea, you are chained to that desk!

Andy Sachs: But what if I have to...

Emily: What? No! Nothing! One time an assistant left the desk. Oh, because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener, and Miranda missed Lagerfeld just before he was about to board a 17 hour flight to Austrailia. She now works at TV Guide.

Andy Sachs: Man the desk at all times. Got it.

Emily: [talking about Andrea] I absolutely have no idea why Miranda hired her.

Serena: Tell me about it. We were in the Beauty Department and she held up this Shu Uemura eyelash curler and said "What is this?"

Emily: [laughing] I just knew that when the first moment I saw her, she was going to be a complete and utter disas...

[Andrea walks in with a new outfit]

Andy Sachs: [answering the phone] Miranda Priestly's office... No, she's not in right now but I'll leave word... OK, thanks. Bye.

Emily: [shocked by Andrea's new look] How... Are you wearing the Ch...

Andy Sachs: Chanel Boots? Yeah, I am.

Serena: You look good.

[Emily's mad about what Serena said]

Serena: What? She does...

Emily: Oh, shut up, Serena.

[to Andy's replacement]

Emily: You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that.

Emily: You went upstairs? You went upstairs. Oh my God. Why didn't you just crawl into bed with her ask a bedtime story?

Emily: Oh my god. No, no, no!

Andy Sachs: What's wrong?

Emily: [on telephone] She's on her way. Tell everyone.

Nigel: Tsk. She's not supposed to be here until nine.

Emily: Her driver just text messaged and her facialist ruptured a disc. God, these people.

Nigel: [points at Andy and mouths] Who's that?

Emily: That, I can't even talk about.

Nigel: [opens the door] Alright everyone, gird your loins!

[as he's leaving]

Nigel: Did someone eat an onion bagel?

Andy Sachs: [looks slightly embarrased, starts smelling her breath]

Emily: I don't care if she was going to fire you or beat you with a red hot poker, you should've said no.

Andy Sachs: Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend?

Emily: Yes.

[walks away]

Emily: Okay, so I was Miranda's second assistant. But her first assistant recently got promoted, and so now, I'm the first.

Andy Sachs: Oh, and you're replacing yourself.

[rushing out the door to accomplish an impossible task for Miranda]

Andy Sachs: Wish me luck!

Emily: No. Shan't.

Emily: A million girls would kill for this job.

Emily: This is her, the new me.

Serena: I thought you were kidding.

Emily: [deleted scene - during the rush as Miranda arrives] Oh god, you're still there. Um. Go. No. Stay. Stay. Sit there, sit there and I will pray she does not notice you are in the area

[leaves]

Andy Sachs: It's like self-esteem camp.

Emily: Andrea, Runway is a fashion magazine, so an interest in fashion is crucial.

Andy Sachs: What makes you think I'm not interested in fashion?

Andy Sachs: My father is coming from Ohio this weekend!

Emily: [doesn't say anything and imitates Andy making a stupid face]

Emily: You don't deserve them, I mean you eat carbs, for Chrissake!

Maya Hayes: I love penguins.

Emily: Me, too.

Will Hayes: Me, three.

Maya Hayes: Did you know that penguins mate for life? Although, Mr. Monell told us that sometimes the husband and wife penguins get separated because of their migraine patterns.

Will Hayes, Emily: Migratory.

Maya Hayes: Well, sometimes they're apart for years, but they almost always find each other. Do you know what the husband and wife penguins do after they find each other after all that time? Throw back their heads, flap their flippers, and sing as loud as they can!

[imitating a penguin]

Maya Hayes: Wah wah wah!

Charlie: I can't believe you're letting him go. I mean, don't you know about New York girls? Besides being incredibly hot, they have no problem with casual sex, which by the way I totally respect.

Emily: What if Charlie's right?

Will Hayes: Charlie's never right. He's functionally retarded.

[after Emily turns down his proposal, and admits she slept with Will's roommate]

Will Hayes: I thought we had a plan.

Emily: No, Will, you had a plan. Will, you have a really big plan.

Will Hayes: No, I'm pretty sure we both had that plan...

Emily: I just can't keep pretending that I want to be part of it anymore.

Will Hayes: Uh, you were there when we made it, so...

Emily: And I didn't know how to tell you. How do you tell someone that you care about that you don't want the things that they want anymore?

Will Hayes: The best way? Definitely having sex with the roommate.

Emily: That was cowardly. And I'm sorry.

Will Hayes: Oh. Good. You're killing me.

Emily: No, I'm not. I'm letting you go. Cause if we stay together, Will, we're gonna be miserable. I'm gonna hold you back from all these incredible dreams that you have. And then eventually you're totally gonna hate me for it.

Will Hayes: No...

Emily: Yes! Will, I don't want that. And you don't want that. Trust me. You're gonna be just fine, Mr. Hayes. Without me.

Emily: Thackery Binx, what took thee so long?

Thackery Binx: I'm sorry, Emily. I had to wait three hundred years for a virgin to light a candle.

Emily: Thackery Binx? Where are you, Thackery Binx?

Emily: We can't just throw him out in the snow.

Walter: Why not? He loves the snow. He's told me 15 times.

Emily: So, Buddy, how'd you sleep?

Buddy: Great! I got a full 40 minutes!

Emily: [tries some of Buddy's spaghetti with syrup] Oh, that's good.

Buddy: Good?

Emily: Good.

Buddy: Good!

Emily: You like sugar, huh?

Buddy: Is there sugar in syrup?

Emily: Yes.

Buddy: Then YES!

Emily: Does anybody here know how many times I had to watch Funny Lady?

Howard: It was a sequel. She was under contract.

Emily: Fuck Barbra Streisand, and you!

Emily: Are you really gay?

Howard: Hmm Hmm

Emily: Was there oh, ANY OTHER TIME YOU MIGHT'VE TOLD ME THIS? I'm wearing a wedding dress, WHICH YOU PICKED OUT!

Emily: I've seen all your movies.

Cameron: Both of them?

Emily: Is everybody gay? Is this a Twilight Zone?

Emily: I need a heterosexual male, CODE RED!

Finbar McBride: I'm retired, actually.

Emily: Aren't you a little young to be retired?

Finbar McBride: No, dwarves retire early. Common fact.

Emily: Yeah, *lazy* dwarves.

Emily: Your First name is Finbar?

Finbar McBride: Yes.

Emily: My name is Emily.

Finbar McBride: [Uninterestingly] Hi.

Emily: [Charmingly] Hi.

[trying to get Fin's attention]

Emily: You have a nice chin.

Finbar McBride: [feeling awkward and finding words what to say] Thanks.

[Scene cuts to railroads where Fin and Joe are walking]

Joe Oramas: A nice chin?

[scroffs]

Finbar McBride: Yeah.

Joe Oramas: Seriously?

Finbar McBride: Yeah.

Joe Oramas: Fuckin' weird.

[the Newtons are having dinner, faint barking sounds are heard]

George Newton: Are those sounds coming from outside or in the basement?

Alice Newton, Ryce Newton, Emily, Ted a.k.a. Shorty: [quickly, in unison] Outside.

George Newton: [leaves the table] I-I think I'm hearing something from the basement.

[George walks down the basement, the light switch is heard turned on]

George Newton: OH, NO!

Alice Newton: Roll, anyone?

Emily: We're not millionaires yet. Are we thousandaires?

[first lines]

Emily: [gives Beethoven a piece of pork] Here, Beethoven.

Ted a.k.a. Shorty: [gives him a slightly bigger slice] Here, boy. Here's a special treat.

Alice Newton: [shows him a roasted chicken] Here, Beethoven. This is from all of us.

George Newton: Beethoven...

[holds up a giant steak]

George Newton: I want you to have this!

[George approaches to Beethoven]

Ryce Newton: Mom, we're out of toilet paper!

Alice Newton: Here!

[a roll of toilet paper wakes up Beethoven from his dream]

Emily: We don't find death. It finds us.

Emily: Do you know the gentleman who stole your wife?

Happy Franks: [mumbles, as he takes a drink] Danny Sussman.

Emily: Excuse me?

Happy Franks: He was my agent.

Emily: Some agent!

Happy Franks: He was a great agent. I loved him like a brother, I loved my wife like a mother and a hooker, and look where it's got me, alone, afraid, and I just wanna die!

Emily: Don't give up, Hap, don't wanna die.

Happy Franks: Don't kid a kidder kid! People are afraid of poverty, of war, of pestilence, of not knowing who they are or what they want, of dogs, and I say - Don't! Don't fear these things! They're not real. You want something to fear? Do you know what to fear? Love. Fear love. Love is real and it is terrifying. If you're going to be afraid, be afraid when someone says...

[he is cut off in mid-sentence as other camera angles show the other characters say "I love you" in different ways]

Johnny Leguard: [to Mrs. Essendine] I love you.

Maxine: [to the sheik] Je t'aime.

Captain: [to the deposed queen] Ti amo.

Meistrich: [to Lili] Ich liebe dich.

Sparks: [to Maurice, who is dressed in drag] I lo-

[Maurice stops him]

First Mate: [in foreign language, to bomb which he hid in his coat] I love you.

Emily: [to Happy] I love you!

Emily: [performing stand-up comedy] The cops on this campus are great... Great at eating donuts!

Freaky Reaky: [laughs loudly - he is the only person laughing]

Emily: But I don't really like donuts. I just like the chocolate ones, the jelly ones, the...

Freaky Reaky: [laughing loudly] You gotta love them donuts!

Emily: Felix, I don't think anything's happening.

Felix Bean: It'll happen, Don't worry, I'm on top of it.

Emily: On top of the aurora borealis?

Emily: I think it's great that she's decided to face this place, start doing things again.

Charlotte Banning: So do I. But why couldn't she start with something simple. Like needlepoint, or analysis.

Emily's Lover: Oh, Emily!

Emily: Oh, Henry, be careful. Somebody may see us.

Emily's Lover: Oh, I've been careful too long.

Groucho: Well, now that you brought that up, just how long have you been careful?

Emily: Oh, they saw us!

Emily's Lover: Now be calm, Emily. I'll talk to them.

[to Groucho]

Emily's Lover: You won't say anything about this, will you?

Groucho: Sir, are trying to offer me a bribe? How much?

Emily: Oh, but you don't understand. You see, I'm not happy with my husband. He should have married some little housewife.

Groucho: Madam, I resent that. Some of my best friends are housewives.

Emily: [Calling to the ghosts of the well] Analog dos mirabus spirae cuttar, nimbus hypnosticos lazzum bid-dar.

Mildred Dean: There she goes again. It must be number one on her Hit Parade.

Emily: [in a trance and speaking with the voice of Thomas Danbury] Melody, my beloved, it's Tom. I've come to help you.

June Prescott: Oh, Shelly, what does it mean?

Sheldon Gage: It-it must be Danbury speaking through Emily.

Mildred Dean: Oh, fine. A ghost to ghost broadcast.

Cuthbert Greenway: Emily! When you came in here just now, did you or did you not kick me?

Emily: Certainly not.

Cuthbert Greenway: [getting worried] Oh!

Emily: [about the ghosts] I must go to them.

[takes the tray of brandy with her]

Mildred Dean: Wait a minute, better leave that with us.

[takes the brandy]

Mildred Dean: We need it more than the ghosts do.

Emily: [explaining how she knew Fridge was Brendan] You look the same, you sound the same, you smell the same, you fuck the same...

Emily: Ooo, sophomores! Now I wanna party naked!

Geiger: Hey, think you could give us a ride back to school?

Becca: No.

Emily: Maybe... if Peck here shows us his enormous manhood.

Peck: Ummmmm... yeah, but you better stand back.

Emily: What wacky mischief will that Peck get into next?

Emily: Do you think this is it?

Peck: Yeah.

Emily: It's not much.

Peck: It's everything.

Emily: Poor baby. Mommy and Daddy getting Junior off to college. You know what MY parents did with MY college money?

Peck: No.

Emily: My mom bought a Lexus and my dad bought a pair of tits for his new wife.

[Peck laughs nervously]

Emily: You think that's funny?

Peck: I thought you were kidding.

Emily: [while staying over at Raquel's apartment] let me ask you a question: what do you think Steven would do if he found out about David?

Raquel: I mean screwing around is second oldest reason to kill someone.

Emily: Oh really, and what would be the first?

Raquel: [raises a glass] Money, honey!

Steven: When you wake up tomorrow, all this will seem like a bad dream.

Emily: [lying on her bed, in her bedroom, inside her family's mansion] What if there is no tomorrow?

Steven: [leans forward to kiss her forehead] You know better than that.

Emily: [while sitting in Steven's chair] That's not happiness to see me is it?

Steven: [upon entering his office, startled to see her in his office] try surprised.

[last lines]

[after listening to the tape of the murder plan]

Emily: [crying, while sitting in Steven's chair] He... he said he was going to kill me. So I tried to run.

Mohamed Karaman: [while sitting on Steven's desk] And then he attacks you?

Emily: Yes.

Mohamed Karaman: What else could you do?

[Emily looks at Karaman with gratitude]

Mohamed Karaman: [In Arabic] May God be with you.

Emily: And you as well.

[first lines, walking towards her from the balcony, wearing a tuxedo, and holding a Martini]

Steven: There you are. And how was your day? Any progress in saving the world?

Emily: [while wearing formal business clothing] I'm working on it.

Emily: [standing in the hallway facing her] He must have put it back on his way in, didn't plan on that did you?

Steven: Young David. He was... he was very unpredictable.

Raquel: [while staying over at Raquel's apartment] Steven's already rich and you with your money you must've had a prenup, tell me you had a prenup?

Emily: He offered. I said no.

Raquel: So if you die he gets like a hundred million bucks?

Emily: Something like that.

Raquel: Lucky guy.

Harrington: [talking privately inside the United States Mission to the United Nations Annex building] Mrs... Taylor, passing this kind of information, even to a spouse, is unethical.

Emily: I understand.

Harrington: Your husband has been buying U.S. and foreign bonds on margin and using those securities as collateral, that's illegal, in fact his company has been under investigation for almost a year, some months ago, U.S. interest rates started moving against him, he should've gotten some horrific margin calls but the banks he's in bed with have been hiding the losses hoping that things will turn around, it isn't happening, sooner or later those margin calls will come and when they do, your husband will be wiped out.

Emily: [talking privately in Steven's office] But why did you put his key on my key chain?

Steven: David threatened violence from the very beginning so when I saw the body lying in the kitchen I'm sure it was him none of the doors have been forced open so I assumed he had your key.

Emily: But when? I had just used it to come that evening.

Steven: Are you sure? He used your key? Because if memory serves me right, the door was wide open I saw you walk in.

Emily: Maybe.

Steven: In which case he could've taken your key the day before, did you see him the day before?

Emily: Yes.

Steven: So I went through his pockets and found what I thought was your key and I reacted I grabbed a screwdriver and jimmied the door and put back in his pocket and took what I thought was your key and put it on your keychain I am so sorry for having to put you through this it was the only thing I could do.

Emily: Can you ever forgive me?

Steven: I already have.

Emily: We have to go to the police.

Steven: I don't think this is the time for brutal honesty. I've tampered evidence in a homicide. I paid off a blackmail. I'm in way over my head and so are you, David can say anything he wants. He could say I hired him to kill you or he could say he blackmailed us, the happily married wealthy couple in which case it appeared we killed that poor bastard thinking it was David all depends how he wants to play it.

Emily: What about the man that I killed?

Steven: You think that has anything to do with David?

Emily: It must.

Steven: Do you have any idea how many burglaries are committed each day in this city? I don't think so.

Emily: What are we going to do now?

Steven: We're going to have to disentangle ourselves from your artist friend is there anything in his loft that can link David to you and I?

Emily: My ring.

Steven: I thought you said it was being repaired?

Emily: That was a lie I left it by the bed.

Steven: Is there anything else?

Emily: Isn't that enough?

Steven: I'll get it.

Emily: [while sitting in Steven's chair] The key to the dead man's apartment was on my key chain, someone put it there after I killed him and there's only one person in the world that could've done that.

Steven: Me.

Emily: Why?

Steven: To protect you.

Emily: From what?

Steven: [Steven shows Emily of pictures her and David kissing] Your lover, unless somebody else sent me these pictures, he called me here at the office two months ago, bragged about how hard you fell for him, he shelled out a hundred thousand dollars but he wants more.

Emily: For what?

Steven: Breaking it off.

Emily: I don't believe you.

Steven: Did he mention Belize? That's where he took all the other ones, This guy was quite the aphrodisiac with lowly limited means he learned to paint in a state prison not at Berkley I don't know where we go from here Emily I don't know if "we" is an option I do know I have done everything in my power to protect you from this career criminal you let crawl into our bed.

Emily: Why didn't you tell me?

Steven: Because I was sure you were in love with him, were you?

Emily: I thought I was I can't even imagine what I put you through, is this why your business is in trouble? Banks and margin calls?

Steven: How did you know?

Emily: It's true, isn't it?

Steven: Yes, it's true but I can always make money that's the fun part, there's a god damn sea of it out there but there's only one of you.

Mohamed Karaman: [showing up unannounced to his desk at his police precinct] To what do I owe the pleasure?

Emily: I have some information about my husband.

Mohamed Karaman: Concerning?

Emily: It seems he was in serious financial trouble and he was hiding it from me and I thought that might be a possible reason for him to...

Mohamed Karaman: Hire someone to kill you.

Emily: Yes.

Mohamed Karaman: We considered him a suspect until we traced a cell phone call he made the night you were attacked. The trace led us to an automated quote system in his office, it lasted five minutes before ten to nine minutes after ten that has to be one of more cleaner alibis we've come across.

Steven: [in his office at their home, referring to David] your right his very talented

Emily: did you buy anything?

Steven: I made him an "offer"

Emily: and?

Steven: and his "chewing" on it

Emily: [referring to his weekly card game] I don't want you to go tonight

Steven: what's wrong?

Emily: I need to talk to you

Steven: it's too late, they'll never get anyone to fill in, besides I beat them pretty bad last week, they're all going to want their money back.

David Shaw: [over the phone, referring to their affair] tell him what exactly?

Emily: tell him everything: tonight

David Shaw: look, we've waited this long, let's just hold off another day so we can figure it out together, so I can help you

Emily: I don't know

David Shaw: I do, I do know

Emily: [after hearing Steven's message left on David's answering machine, while lying next to each other in bed after having intercourse] What are you going to do?

David Shaw: I guess I'll call him, it'd be kind of weird if I didn't wouldn't it?

Emily: You're playing with "fire".

David Shaw: If you're getting so upset about it why'd you give him my number?

Emily: I didn't

Raquel Martinez: [in a bar] This is crazy I don't understand I'm your best friend, right? Half the year goes by and you don't say one thing, do you love him? Are you going to leave Stephen? So, talk to me.

Emily: I will, if you shut up for one second.

Raquel Martinez: Alright I'm waiting.

Emily: I didn't tell you because you adore Steven, you cried at our wedding for God's sake.

Raquel Martinez: I cry at every wedding.

Emily: No, you don't, you like the "idea" of us, everybody does, but you have no idea who he really is.

Raquel Martinez: Steven, I know Steven.

Emily: No, you don't, you don't know that every single thing has to be on his terms, you don't know that he no real interest in who I am.

Raquel Martinez: What are you going to do?

Emily: I don't know, I'm going to figure out a way to tell him, he deserves that.

Raquel Martinez: What makes you think he doesn't know?

Emily: There's no way, you know he knows that something's not right, but that's it.

Emily: [over the phone] I can't do this anymore, I've got to tell him tonight, I'm really sorry.

David Shaw: It's ok.

Emily: [referring to Steven surprising her by taking her to lunch] He's never done that before, something's wrong, he knows.

David Shaw: No, he doesn't.

Emily: I cannot live like this anymore, it's not, it's not fair to him. I've got to tell him.

Emily: [over the phone] Hi it's me

David Shaw: Hey how you doing?

Emily: I left my wedding ring.

David Shaw: I know I put it away before he got here.

Emily: [exhales, feeling relieved] thank God, what'd you guys talk about?

David Shaw: he wasn't here that long, so just the work

Emily: he said he made you an offer

David Shaw: as a matter of fact, he did

Emily: what piece?

David Shaw: it's this one you haven't seen

Emily: I thought I'd seen all of them

David Shaw: most of them but not all of them

Emily: What is it's like we're on our death beds and looking back at our lives... and looking at all the guys we've liked, loved and just fucked... and it turns out, that the whole time, like we were supposed to be together.

Allison: [Pushes Emily over an gets on top of her] I don't think I could go down on you.

Emily: Maybe your mom has a fucking suicide kit handy!

Allison: Yeah,

[laughs]

Allison: probobly... she has like, pot... you ok in there?

Emily: Yeah I'm fine.

Allison: [pause]

[leans head against door]

Allison: I'm not leaving.

Emily: What is it's like we're on our death beds and lookinf back at our lives... and looking at all the guys we've liked loved and just fucked... and it turns out, that the whole time, like we were supposed to be together.

Josh Rubin: [about Allison] Wow, I didn't know you had such a hot friend!

Mr. Rubin: Josh, that's enough!

Emily: [silent] I hate you.

Allison: Hey, you're gonna love this

Emily: What is it?

Allison: Crack, cocaine.

Emily: [shrieks] where did you get that?

Allison: a lady never tells

Emily: How do we use it?

Allison: So, I called the drug hotline and asked them what signs to look for if my mom smoked crack. He said little pieces of aluminum foil everywhere so

[looks at Emily]

Allison: You want to try it right?

Emily: yeah

Allison: cool

[flicks on lighter]

Allison: ready?

Emily: We are such crackheads.

Allison: We ARE such crackheads.

[it burns fast]

Allison: Oh shit go!

Emily: What?

Allison: Go! Just inhale it!

[it flies up]

Allison: ah!

Emily: Ah!

Allison: [coughs] where'd it go?

Emily: Ow, it hit me right there.

[touches arm]

Allison: Ohh, ohh, ohh I'm sorry

[kisses it]

Allison: [strokes Emily's cheek ] Whitney's right

Together: Crack is whack!

Emily: The one fucking time that I really, really needed you, you didn't have my back.

Emily: [throws die, then looks at it a little sheepishly] Three.

[Hector and his friends approve]

Emily: Three's cool. I can handle three.

[to Allison]

Emily: It's just sex.

Emily: [Emily, Amanda, and Sasha approach Allison at her locker the morning after her arrest with Hector and his gang] Ally, you are soo fucking down!

Sasha: Yeah, like doing hard time and shit...

Allison: [trying hard to be modest] No, no, it wasn't like that...

Amanda: Come on, I heard you hit a cop and you got into a knife fight!

Allison: Na, no-no guys. It was more like uh... detention.

[tosses her purse into her locker and flings it shut]

Allison: See ya later!

[puts her arm around Emily's waist and the two of them walk away]

Amanda: [watches them leave] Bye...

Sasha: So, I wonder what Daddy thought!

Amanda: [rolls her eyes] Please! Daddy waved his magic wand and it went away.

Emily: [yelling] You sick bastards!

Rashad: Why are you reading my book Emily?

Emily: I know you get all... whatever about your books but... I was getting curious about the brown paper covered ones.

Rashad: I protect them with the brown paper. Haven't you ever done that?

Emily: Yeah, like in elementary school.

Emily: You're reading Noam Chomsky? I was expecting it to be Nelson Mandela or something.

Emily: [to Ben] Don't ever ignore my phone calls or I'll tell her what happened.

Denning: You're going back to the office, they can't do anything unless I'm there holding their hand.

Emily: Why don't you ever consider anything I say to you? It's your greatest flaw, you know? You know what, maybe I'll just need to tell you that you're out there.

Denning: Come on... Graham will take you home this semester.

Emily: [rolling her eyes] Okay.

Denning: Come on, stop being a child. Grow up.

Emily: Fuck you.

Emily: Rob, I'm a business woman, and rule number one in this business is you go where the talent is... and all the fucking talent that was in this band has just left the room!

Emily: Oh no no... I could make you a pair of those. But first you gotta tell me what you shove in there to make people think you're a guy.

Emily: I can't just do whatever i want. There are rules.

Sean: Break the rules.

Emily: You like games?

Elizabeth: I love games. Would you like to play one?

Emily: I'm already playing.

[from trailer]

Emily: Let's just hope you don't end up like her.

[last lines]

Emily: Can you leave the door open?

Katherine: You know I can't do that.

David: [after having several flashbacks]

Emily: Can you see now, daddy?

David: [possessed] It's okay. Daddy's gone now.

Emily: Do you like her, Daddy?

David: Emily.

Emily: Charlie says you do.

David: Stop this.

Emily: Did Daddy tell you about my mommy?

David: I'm sure Elizabeth doesn't want to hear such things.

Emily: She killed herself. She slit her wrists and drowned in the bathtub. Let's hope you don't wind up like her.

Emily: I have a new friend.

David: A new friend?

Emily: He told me to call him Charlie.

David: When did you meet Charlie?

Emily: Today.

David: When we went to town?

Emily: Just before that.

David: Is he here right now?

David: Emily, why would you do this?

[scene changes to bathtub lit with candles. A message on the tub wall in blood: You let her die]

Emily: It was Charlie.

David: Emily, did you have a part in this?

Emily: I can't tell you.

David: DID YOU HAVE A PART IN THIS?

Emily: I'm sorry. I can't tell you.

David: You know Charlie doesn't exist.

Emily: You shouldn't say that.

David: Why not?

Emily: You're gonna make him mad.

[first lines]

Alison: Faster.

Emily: No, no, no.

[last lines]

Katherine: Did you do your homework?

Emily: Yes.

Katherine: Did you brush your teeth?

Emily: Yes.

Katherine: Good.

Emily: Can you see now, Daddy?

David: [possessed as Charlie] I can't help but sense a certain tension between us.

Emily: [too scared to answer]

David: What's the matter? Don't you want to play anymore? Don't you want to have fun?

Emily: [sniffles sadly and scaredly]

David: Hmm? You want your daddy back? Is that it? You like him more than me, don't you?

Emily: [quietly] No.

David: Oh. Liar.

Emily: [quietly] No. I'm not.

David: Yes you are. Liar, liar. You big fat liar.

Emily: [quietly] You killed mommy.

[wind whistles in the background]

[bedtime one night]

David: Honey, where's Alex?

Emily: I don't like her anymore.

David: Did I just hear what I thought I heard?

Emily: Are you mad, Daddy?

David: No, I'm not mad at all, honey. I think it's great.

[about Charlie]

David: Is he... here right now?

Emily: I think he's sleeping.

David: Okay. Well, in that case, we better not wake him.

Emily: Can you see now, daddy?

David: [possessed] It's okay. Daddy's gone now.

Emily: You shouldn't be here.

Amy: Why is that?

Emily: You could get hurt.

David: So did you like Amy?

Emily: I don't need anymore friends.

Emily: Charlie did it!

[last lines, alternative ending]

Emily: One-1000, two-1000, three-1000, four-1000, five-1000, six-1000, seven-1000, eight-1000, nine-1000, ten-1000. Ready or not, here I come.

Emily: Come out, come out, wherever you are...

Emily: There you are.

Emily: Come out come out, where ever you are...

Emily: [about Charlie] He doesn't want me to talk about him.

Emily: I have something for you.

Hugo: You have things for lots of guys.

Emily: All this time I've been looking for romance and all I had to do was steal something.

Hugo: You didn't steal anything, you just borrowed it for a little while. And if you wouldn't mind I'd like to borrow you.

Emily: Because... this isn't an opera! And we are not all supporting characters to the drama of your amazing life!

Emily: I want you to try this new wine.

Amy: I'd love to try your wine!

Ted Hamilton: So you're Jason's friend?

Emily: Yes. I am.

Ted Hamilton: True friend?

Emily: Absolutely. Pinkie promise.

Ted Hamilton: So how long have you known Mr. Stevens?

Emily: We go way back, we're like this.

[crosses fingers]

Emily: Now where do I sign?

Ted Hamilton: And, um... , he hasn't promised you any compensation for this friendship?

Emily: Look at him. Does he LOOK like he has anything to offer?

[Miss Hastings suppresses a laugh]

Ted Hamilton: So, uh... , you expect this friendship to continue?

Emily: I plan on knowing Jason for the rest of my life.

Jason Stevens: You thinking about butterflies?

Emily: No, Jason. I'm looking at the stars

Jason Stevens: You know, I set this whole thing up because I thought YOU wanted to go horseback riding, not your mom.

Emily: Get real. Horses are smelly and sweaty.

Jason Stevens: So, sweetie, what's YOUR dream. If you could dream of anything - anything - what would YOUR dream be?

Emily: My dream? My dream was a perfect day... and I'm just finishing it. My dream is to be with people I love, who love each other, and that love me.

[scene shifts]

Emily: What about you, Jason? What's your dream?

Jason Stevens: I don't know. For as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was have fun. Now, I don't have a clue.

Emily: It's okay. Guys are clueless.

[Jason laughs]

Emily: Hey, you have to know this: even if you don't have a dream of your own, you gave me mine. That counts for something.

Jason Stevens: I need a friend.

Emily: Explain yourself.

Jason Stevens: It's complicated.

Emily: No. It's not. It's pathetic.

Emily: So, you have a bet with a dead guy?

Jason Stevens: Mm-hm.

Emily: Cool.

Emily: Yeah, you can kiss me, even though you're a guy.

[Jason kisses Emily]

Jason Stevens: I missed you, too.

Emily: Whatever. Let's cut to the chase. You really blew it with us this Christmas.

Jason Stevens: I... I was unavoidably detained.

Emily: Okay, yeah. I want Christmas. I want - to ride - a horse.

Jason Stevens: Oh, I-I got, like, a week or two left with this other thing but, um... , lemme make a call and we'll s...

Emily: Jason. Now.

Jason Stevens: Okay.

Emily: Do you know God paints every color on a butterfly with his fingers?

Emily: Okay. It's official. You are the slowest person I have ever met.

Emily: Two completely opposite people, who wouldn't have had a chance without me, destined to make each other miserable.

Emily: You screwed up big-time you know! I had to eat a rubber hospital turkey for Thanksgiving! You better be back by Christmas!

Emily: [sarcastic] Wow. An airport gift shop gift. How thoughtful. Does it come with needles?

Emily: Look at her, isn't she beautiful? I mean, except for her choice in lipstick.

Jason Stevens: [laughs]

Emily: But you have to admit, even if you for nothing else out of the deal but her, you'd still be a huge winner.

Emily: If you hide from death, you hide from life.

Emily: A fact is a point of view.

Eva: Come on! Come on, get personal. Who is it? Who does Jim hate?

Jim: Me.

Mo: Really Jim?

Eva: You hate yourself... So what?

Emily: D'you have an okay family life?

Jim: [Nods] Yeah. Yeah. I don't have a father. But my mum is really nice.

Eva: So you hate yourself, because?

Jim: I've been on anti-depressants for two years.

Emily: And... Do they help? Do you know if they're helping?

Jim: I don't know... Maybe...

William: Come off the medication. If you want to feel like a person again... Come off them.

[first lines]

[Emily is having sex with Carlton and sees Bobby in the doorway]

Emily: Oh my god!

Carlton Morrow: Come on, Em, Bobby doesn't care!

Emily: I care!

Carlton Morrow: Just relax!

Emily: Kiss my ass!

Emily: Fitting in with the outside world, respectability, suitability, conformity, were never high on my priority list; neither was normalcy. I admit: I cultivated arrogance. The world would be our school; I wanted to learn it and teach it to you.

Bridget: I know you. I know who you are. You're that girl from school. Emily, is it?

Emily: [Removes her mask] Now I'm Emily.

Emily: This lesson, you will not learn in school.

Woody: [Emily has just conducted a seance] Do you really believe in that kind of stuff?

Emily: I don't know.

Woody: [reacting to sound of Jessica and Duncan's lovemaking upstairs] Do you believe in THAT kind of stuff?

Emily: [embarrassed, laughing] Oh, I don't know.

Emily: It's not the cake!

Jessica: I was just, er, looking at the picture. It looks so much like you.

Emily: My lord, it does. Gee, how weird. What's the matter?

Jessica: Nothing. It's just, er, it does look so very much like you.

Emily: It's an old print. It could look like anybody.

Jessica: No, it's... it's the eyes.

Emily: [Emily and Duncan have just finished playing a song together] Wow, terrific! He's really something! I mean, really.

Jessica: He's an important man. He was with the Philharmonic.

Emily: Are you going to try to find someplace around here to play?

Woody: No, he's gonna farm. Raise apples, have a garden... get back to nature. He's a nut.

Jessica: *I'm* the nut.

Emily: Let's have a seance.

[the others are visibly uncomfortable]

Emily: Why not? Don't you believe in spirits? Nothing's ever completely dead.

Woody: Right! I even hear The Twist is coming back.

Emily: Do you like my new dress? My new old dress?

Katie: When you're good and smart and kind of heart, there's nothing you can't win. And it never hurts to remember a name like...

Emily: Rumpelstiltskin.

Gavin: Hey, what if we made up a name? Sometimes it's cool to take half of two words and put them together. Like the first half of turtle and the last half of monkey.

Emily: That would be turkey. He's not a turkey.

Clayton: Oh. It's no use. I'll never make a good pirate. I can't even scare kids away. Grandpa LeRouge is gonna kick me out for sure.

Emily: LeRouge is your grandfather?

Clayton: Well, more like my great-great-great-grandfather. But, family is family.

Toddster: Wow, your Thanksgiving must be really weird.

Clayton: Not really, just lonely. Yeah. I'm the last LeRouge left.

Wilbur: So where do you see yourselves?

Health: Splitting up. I'd like to go with a family of realists.

Wilbur: Open-minded realists or close-minded?

Health: Open-minded.

Yates: And what about you, Emily?

Emily: I'll find my own way, which is the Lord's way. So, I guess the closeminded realists.

Yates: There are actually a lot of other options...

Emily: Close-minded realists.

David 'Chef': It's magic.

Emily: Magic's not real. But there's something going on here.

[Emily & James chat by using webcam on the computer and have a little flirt]

James: Hey!

Emily: [smiles] Hi!

James: How was - How was work?

Emily: It was fine. One of the other girls, uh, called in sick, so I was the only one answering phones all night. Also, my - my arm's been really bothering me. It's like I bruised it or something, but I don't remember how.

[Emily holds her arm up to the webcam]

Emily: I think you can see. There's a bump there. Can you see?

James: Mnh - Mnh.

Emily: Well... I know I said I didn't want this, but when you're a doctor, could you just support me, and I'll just... Stay at home?

James: I guess, yeah, if you want that.

Emily: [laughs] That was easy.

James: I mean, do you want me to make it difficult for you? Like, um... I don't know, Emily. I guess you'll have to convince me here.

Emily: [blushes] No! Really?

James: I mean... maybe a little convincing, or...

Emily: Well, how 'bout now?

James: [Emily sits up and removes her shirt] Maybe a little more?

Emily: [Emily removes her bra as James watches] How 'bout now?

[Emily puts her chest to the camera giving a shake before laughing]

Emily: [recording ends]

[Emily records herself to show James where she heard noises outside her room]

Emily: Well, now I can show you my apartment.

James: Yay, I mean... I'm gonna see it soon enough.

Emily: Well, Fall Break's not soon enough.

James: Um... I know.

Emily: All right, so this... Like, right here... Uh, this is where I heard the footsteps.

James: [Emily shows James the hallway in front of her bedroom door] Um, back there?

Emily: Yeah.

James: Right. I mean, uh, could it have been coming from up stairs?

Emily: No. I mean... I know - I mean, my neighbor always wears heels, so I know what that sounds like. It was weird. It was like, while it was happening it didn't seem like it was real, but I was awake.

James: And you didn't check?

Emily: Are you kidding me? No way. I can't believe I was even, like, able to fall back asleep.

James: I mean, it sounds like you were asleep.

Emily: Okay, well, next time it happens, I'll call you and you can watch me, and maybe I'll be brave enough to open the door.

James: 'Kay.

Emily: [smiles] Okay.

[recording ends]

[Emily talks to James about seeing the ghost kid through her webcam, and the mysterious lump in her arm]

Emily: So, you think you saw... Are you sure you saw, like, a little kid?

James: I mean, I - I think I saw something, but it could have been anything, Emily. Like, you know, maybe it was, like... a breeze or something like that.

Emily: Breeze. Man, of all the times for you to not be recording our chat!

James: I'll record it next time.

Emily: I need to find out if a little kid died here. I'm gonna ask my landlord.

James: Um... I - I don't know if you should do that. I - I don't - I can't imagine he'd be thrilled to have that conversation.

Emily: Yeah, well, I think he has to tell me. I think it's the law or something.

James: The law?

[Emily continues to pinch the bruised area on her arm]

James: Why are you messing with your arm like that? What's wrong?

Emily: It's not... It's not getting better. It's like there's... Like, a lump under my skin or something.

James: You shouldn't do that. That's not good for you. Just stop touching it, and when I come and see you, I'll check it out, okay?

Emily: Okay. You're right.

[recording ends]

[Emily attempts to record what's outside her door with James watching through the webcam]

James: Emily? Hello? Hey.

Emily: Hey. Hey.

James: What's... What's going on?

Emily: There's something at my door. Listen.

Emily: [Emily records indistinct sounds coming from outside her bedroom door] Did you hear that?

James: What was that?

Emily: Shh.

[Emily walks to her bedroom door and zooms in to record the door knob jiggling]

Emily: Did you see that?

James: Emily, what are you doing?

Emily: I'm going to open the door with you here.

James: No - What, that's stupid. Why?

Emily: No, no, this is just like before.

James: Hey.

[Emily opens the door and records outside her bedroom door, only seeing a blackness throughout her apartment]

Emily: [Emily returns back to her bed with her laptop] See? I told you. My apartment's haunted.

James: It's not haunted. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.

[Emily shows James the hole in her arm]

James: What's that? What are you doing?

Emily: Oh, well, I felt that lump move in my arm today. So...

[Emily holds up the hole she dug in her arm to James on the webcam]

James: Emily, what the fuck is that? Don't do that!

Emily: Thought it might be a spider bite. You know, how you hear about - or like?

James: That's an urban legend. That's not real.

Emily: It's right under there. Look, look, I'll show you.

James: Stop! Stop that! Don't do that, okay? That's not good for you. This is like your leg, like seven years ago. You still have the scar from that.

[Emily gets up from the webcam and goes to the kitchen]

James: Emily, what the fuck are you doing?

[Emily returns with a sharp steak fork]

Emily: Well, I think if I just...

James: No, no, no, no, no. Put that away. Seriously, Emily, look at me. Emily! Emily, look at me, okay? You need to put that away, all right? Digging around in your arm is not gonna do any more good. All right? You just need to put some alcohol on that or iodine or something like that and - And - And put a bandage on it, all right? 'Cause otherwise it's just gonna get infected, okay? You know, I'll be there in a week and I'll look at it, but, but for right now just leave it alone. You're acting really crazy, all right?

Emily: Okay, okay.

James: Okay. I mean... Can you go to the bathroom and clean that off?

Emily: Yeah, yeah. I'll be right back.

[James covers his face with his hand and shakes his head, recording ends]

[Emily late in the night asks for James to help her see the ghost in her apartment]

James: Emily?

Emily: Yeah?

James: Are you there?

Emily: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

James: I gotta - I gotta do some work, so what's going on?

Emily: I know, this'll only take a minute.

James: What's up?

Emily: He's outside my room. I think, I can hear the little boy's footsteps.

James: That's really scary, Emily, what are you talking about?

Emily: Well, I just - I need to talk to him, and I need your help.

James: Um - I mean, I'll help in any way that I can

Emily: Okay. Great, great. So, I'm gonna close my eyes so he doesn't scare me.

James: What?

Emily: I'm gonna close my eyes so I don't freak out... and run back in here, okay? So you're just gonna tell me if he's there and if he's paying attention to me, and then I'll talk to him. I'll find out what he wants - If he wants me to find his body, or... whatever. I just. Uh... I don't want to look at him. He's a ghost. He freaks me out.

James: What? Um... Okay. All right.

Emily: Okay, can you do that?

James: Okay.

Emily: Okay, okay. So, as soon as - as soon as I open the bedroom door I'm gonna close my eyes, and then you'll me what's there, okay?

James: All right.

Emily: Okay, are you ready?

James: Yeah, yeah.

Emily: All right, I'm closing my eyes.

[James tries to comfort Emily who doesn't know what to feel anymore]

James: Listen, you're gonna be okay.

Emily: You don't know.

James: I do, you're gonna be fine.

Emily: [in tears] You deserve to be with someone normal - You know, someone who doesn't have so many problems. What if we want to have kids someday?

James: You know, um... You're the only person I've ever wanted to be with, Emily, so just... Stop acting like I have a choice in the matter, all right?

Emily: I don't know what I did to deserve someone... you're so good to me.

James: Get some rest.

Emily: I love you.

[pause]

Emily: Talk to you later.

James: All right.

[Emily blows James a sad kiss, recording ends]

[first lines]

Emily: Ever seen a shooting star?

Jake: Sure. You?

Emily: You know what you're supposed to do, right?

Jake: What do you mean, make a wish?

Emily: If you saw one right now, what would you wish for?

Jake: Well, that's a secret.

Emily: I've heard of spirit photography before; I've just never seen it in person.

[reading from the book Eibon]

Emily: Woe be unto him who opens one of the seven gateways to Hell, because through that gateway, evil will invade the world.

Emily: Attack, Dickie!

Emily: We blind see things more clearly.

Emily: Didn't you say that boy's body was found in the north quarter?

Dr. Cooper: Yes Emily; which is where you are now.

Emily: [to Helga] If it wasn't for me you would've been dead by now.

Emily: If you do not leave this house in the next minute, I will kill you!

Emily: America is a dead kid powered engine.

Emily: Why did you pick us!

The Whiteman: Nobody picked you! You came at your own free will.

[first lines]

Emily: Oh, God.

[last lines]

Emily: I am a ghost.

Emily: [Tracey has taken off her bikini top] Are you going to...?

Tracey: What?

Emily: You know... with Gary.

Tracey: No! But I'm not going to tell him that.

Emily: Are you a tease?

Tracey: Well... why not? If they don't think they're going to get any, they're not interested, and as soon as you give it to them they want to drop you. Why not have a little tease?

Emily: I want you to tell me if there's a future for me and you.

Bill: A future, huh?

Emily: Yes.

Bill: How can I answer that?

Emily: Yes or no.

Bill: I can't see the future.

Emily: [annoyed] You don't *need* to see it if you know it's there.

[first lines]

[There is a long aural montage of strangers talking, presumably overheard in their thoughts by Joshua]

Emily: [Emily is chatting on the phone while walking down a busy street at night] I'm supposed to trust you? Trust is earned, my friend. Anyway, get your ass down here. If you take too long, I may be gone.

Joshua Lazarus: [She enters a nightclub and sits at the bar. Joshua approaches her] Hi. My name is Joshua.

Emily: I'm Vanessa.

Joshua Lazarus: Vanessa. You are a...

[he rubs his forehead with his index finger]

Joshua Lazarus: ...Virgo.

Emily: I'm not an obvious Virgo.

Joshua Lazarus: It was obvious to me.

Emily: [She smiles] You're very intuitive.

Joshua Lazarus: You could say that.

[He pauses]

Joshua Lazarus: Vanessa. You're name's not really Vanessa, is it?

Emily: [She's embarrassed] Emily.

Dylan: I mean, haven't you ever thought you might be worthwhile, or good enough, or whatever, just how you are- just being you?

Emily: Not even once.

Dylan: Me neither.

Emily: We're oil and water, Cochran.

Cochran: Not last night we weren't.

[running into each other at the train station]

Cochran: Why can't you stay in one place?

Emily: [gasping for breath] Why do you keep on scaring me?

Cochran: Everybody else does, why not me? Come on.

[last lines]

Cochran: Miss Crane? I'd still like to talk to you.

Emily: I have nothing to say.

[Cochran has taken a knee to the crotch during a fight]

Emily: Are you all right?

Cochran: [in pain] Yeah, I'm fine, I just like lying here.

Emily: Don't move!

Cochran: Right.

[Emily dashes into the bathroom to dampen a cloth; returning, she places it on his forehead]

Cochran: That's not where I need it.

Emily: You should be ashamed!

Emily: You will NEVER see the baby!

Emily: What is your current mood?"

Theo: Tired... and a little hung over.

Emily: Tired and hung over aren't moods, I need something like happy, sad, depressed... angry.

Theo: Depressed. Angry... and confused.
