Lindsey Quotes in Play Time (1995)

Geena: You know, the thing about writing, that people are always trying to give you advice and guidance is just sometimes you just need to go into your own room and just do it by your self.

Lindsey: Sounds like my sex life lately.

Lindsey: Everyone was struggling to get by now, except the people who made a deal with the devil. I mean, they were on his payroll!

Lindsey: He's the most evil person who has ever lived.

Mr. House: Well, then, the most evil person who has ever lived is paying the bills around here.

Lindsey: That was the worst day of my life, and that's saying something in the rapture.

Slevin: I have ataraxia.

Lindsey: Ataraxia?

Slevin: It's a condition characterized by freedom from worry or any other pre-occupation really.

Slevin: I'm gonna say the same thing any man with two penises says when his tailor asks him if he dresses to the right or left.

Lindsey: What's that?

[cuts to Boss's penthouse]

Slevin: Yes.

Slevin: This isn't the first time this has happened, you know.

Lindsey: You mean this isn't the first time a crime lord asked you to kill the gay son of a rival gangster to pay off a debt that belongs to a friend whose place you're staying in as a result of losing your job, your apartment, and finding your girlfriend in bed with another guy?

Slevin: No, this is the first time THAT happened, but Nick has been painting me into corners since we were kids.

Lindsey: What happened to your nose?

Slevin Kelevra: I was using it to break some guy's fist.

Lindsey: I'm short for my height.

Lindsey: Thanks for the sugar, sugar.

Lindsey: I was just thinking that if you're still alive when I get back from work tonight... maybe, I don't know, we could go out to dinner or something?

Lindsey: We are dealing with a bona fide case of mistaken identity here.

Slevin: Yeah.

Lindsey: Things like that aren't supposed to be real. It's like amnesia.

Lindsey: Not withstanding, here you are and Nick's nowhere to be found, so... I'd say you're fucked.

Slevin: Fucked.

Lindsey: Shouldn't you be a little more worried about all this?

Slevin: I have ataraxia.

Lindsey: Ataraxia?

Slevin: It's a condition characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation, really.

Slevin: You're not as tall as I thought you'd be.

Lindsey: Well, I'm short for my height.

Slevin: That makes sense because I can usually tell how tall someone is by their knock. You have a deceptively tall knock. Congratulations.

Lindsey: So it's a good thing?

Slevin: I open the door expecting you to be up here, you're down here. That combined with a low centre of gravity - forget about it.

Lindsey: Ironic.

Slevin Kelevra: I know, I don't even gamble.

Lindsey: No, I mean the mobster having a gay son. That's ironic.

Lindsey: Hurry back to me.

Lindsey: Your father. Your father hurt you a long time ago. You're so sad, he made you so sad. He thought you were ugly, and he kept saying that you weren't... I'm sorry.

Powder: Do you? Do you?

Lindsey: Do I what?

Powder: Do you think I'm ugly?

Lindsey: I don't know what I think when I look at you. But sometimes I think, I think you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Lindsey: It's hard to believe that, all of that.

Powder: It's because you have this spot that you can't see past. My grams and gramps had it, the spot where they were taught they were disconnected from everything.

Lindsey: So that's what they'd see if they could? That they're connected?

Powder: And how beautiful they really are. And that there's no need to hide, or lie. And that it's possible to talk to someone without any lies, with no sarcasms, no deceptions, no exaggerations or any of the things that people use to confuse the truth.

Lindsey: I don't know a single person who does that.

Lindsey: I'm scared!

Laurie: There's nothing to be scared of.

Tommy: Are you sure?

[Laurie nods]

Tommy: How?

Laurie: I killed him...

Tommy: But you can't kill the boogeyman!

Tommy: It's the boogeyman! The boogeyman's outside!

Laurie: Oh, Tommy, stop it! You're scaring Lindsey. There's nobody out there. Now, if you don't stop this I'm going to have to turn the TV off and send you to bed.

Tommy: Nobody believes me!

Lindsey: I believe you, Tommy.
