Quotes

Christian: Did you finally find an ounce of respect and come to tell me what an asshole I am?
Abby Mays: You and I are very similar, you know? I know you hate me. But I'm OK with it. Cos I hate me too.
Christian: You couldn't be more pathetic.
Abby Mays: Yeah, I know. You made that pretty clear. But, Christian, that's cool with me. I like that I don't have to worry if you'll ever love me. I don't have to try to please you. It would only waste my time. Don't you get it? Last night, those won't tears of humiliation you saw. They were tears of joy. I had the first orgasm of my life with you. I went online to try and get information about my feelings. According to the websites, I must be a masochist. And you... you're definitely a sadist. We're made for each other (takes a paper bag with her phone number on it out and puts it on the desk) Anytime you want me, just let me know. And I'll wear the bag again. I don't mind. (edit)
Kimber: (voice-over; her letter to Christian) Dear Christian, I've thought about you reading this letter ever since the day I left. For your sake, I hope you've moved on and barely remember my name. Please know that leaving you on your wedding day was the last thing I wanted to do. I tried to say this to you so many times before but couldn't do it, so I just left. But the words still need to be said. We were never meant to spend our lives together. There is one thing I thank you for: forcing me to choose between you and my career. You helped me realize that my career gives me everything I need. Individuality, empowerment, autonomy. While being your wife would only strip me of my dignity and sense of self. So I chose me over you. You probably hate me for it and, for that, I'm sorry. Don't try to find me. I never want to see you again. It would be too painful and nothing would be gained. Goodbye. Kimber. (edit)
Sean: We don't need you for this surgery, Quentin. Why don't you just go home?
Christian: Or why don't you head down to the docks? I hear there's a whole bunch of sailors just arrived with three-day passes. (edit)
Quentin: You're not a hero. To you, it's more respectable to kill a man than it is to be a homosexual.
Corporal Oliver Brandt: And you'd rather ruin everything I stand for than to fight your own battles. Isn't the doctor's creed to 'first do no harm'? (edit)
Julia: Why haven't you tried to have sex with me? We've been dating for almost a month.
Quentin: I do things differently. There's... an honor involved.
Julia: Well, if this is to continue, I could do with a little less honor and a little more heat.
(edit)
