Pauline Laubie Quotes in Last Love (2013)

Pauline Laubie: Why did you stop loving life?

Matthew Morgan: Well, you don't love life itself. You love, uh, places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone... who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is gonna stop too. But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, you can miss a single being, even though you are surrounded by countless others. Those people are like... like extras. They cloud your vision, they're a meaningless crowd. They... They're an unwelcome distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude. But solitude only makes you wither.

Pauline Laubie: So I'm an unwelcome distraction. I'm a cloud?

Matthew Morgan: You are the only part of my life I haven't figured out yet.

Pauline Laubie: You shaved your beard.

Matthew Morgan: Yeah. Don't you like it?

Pauline Laubie: I do. But I liked your beard, it reminded me of my father.

Matthew Morgan: I hope you like your father.

Pauline Laubie: I did. He'd dead.

Matthew Morgan: Oh, I'm sorry.

Pauline Laubie: It was a long time ago.

Matthew Morgan: I didn't realize that.

Matthew Morgan: Your hair.

Pauline Laubie: What?

Matthew Morgan: It's so like my wife's hair.

Pauline Laubie: Well, I hope you like your wife.

Matthew Morgan: I did. She's dead.

Pauline Laubie: Matthew, that's not funny.

Matthew Morgan: I'm not kidding, she died, 3 years, 2 months, and 11 days ago.

Pauline Laubie: I still think you're wrong, Matthew. I don't think you have everything in your life figured out.

Matthew Morgan: Why would you think that, hmm? Tell me.

Pauline Laubie: I think the day we figure out everything about our lives, is the day we die.

Pauline Laubie: What happened, Matthew?

Matthew Morgan: I botched an attempted to self-medicate.

Pauline Laubie: What does that mean?

Matthew Morgan: It means I took too many sleeping pills. Or, too few. Depends on how you want to look at it.

Pauline Laubie: If I had a father like Matthew, I would be very happy.

Miles Morgan: Why, because he's such a shining example of fatherhood?

Pauline Laubie: That he's still alive.

Matthew Morgan: All I knew was, I didn't want to be like my father. And I ended up just like him.

Pauline Laubie: Your children and grandchildren don't want you to die, Matthew. And I don't want you to die. So you're out numbered. Have a rain check.

Matthew Morgan: "Take" a rain check.

Pauline Laubie: Would you maybe like me to walk you home? To give you a hand...

Matthew Morgan: Thank you, that's not really necessary.

Pauline Laubie: I really don't mind. I've got time.

Matthew Morgan: [muttering to himself] See now, I'm now officially girl scout material.

Pauline Laubie: Pardon?

Miles Morgan: You seem to know your way around here pretty well.

Pauline Laubie: It's not heart surgery.

Miles Morgan: Brain surgery.

[last lines]

Miles Morgan: He left you the summer home.

Pauline Laubie: I told him I didn't want it.

Miles Morgan: Well, he always had a better idea. Listen, I have to go see my son. But, uh, I'll be back.

Pauline Laubie: Okay.

Miles Morgan: I'll come back for you Paulina.

Pauline Laubie: Okay.

Miles Morgan: Okay. Ready?
