Uzi: What happened to your finger?
Ari: Shh!
Margot: It’s okay. I’ll tell you. I’m adopted. Did you know that? Well, I am. And I went to find my real family when I was fourteen. They live in Indiana.
Ari: Did you try to sew it back on?
Margot: Wasn’t worth it.

Royal: Let me get to the point here. The three of you and your mother are all I’ve got, and I love you more than anything.
Chas: (Laughs)
Royal: Let me finish. Now, I’ve got six weeks to set things right with you, and I aim to do it. Will you give me a chance?
Chas: No.
Royal: Do you speak for everyone?
Chas: I speak for myself.
Royal: Well, you’ve made your views known. So why don’t you let somebody else do some of the talking now?

These Days by Nico
I’ve been out walking
I don’t do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.
I’ve stopped my rambling,
I don’t do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I’ll see another highway.
I had a lover,
I don’t think I’ll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It’s just that I’ve been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.
I’ve stopped my dreaming,
I won’t do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don’t confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Etheline: Raleigh says you’ve been spending six hours a day locked in here watching television and soaking in the tub.
Margot: I doubt that.
Etheline: Well, I don’t think that’s very healthy, do you? Nor do I think it’s very intelligent to keep an electrical gadget on the edge of the bathtub.
Margot: I tied it to the radiator.
Etheline: Well, it can’t be very good for your eyes, anyway.
