Quotes

add »
(Monica goes to see Sean about an infected nipple; she is lying on the table when Escobar appears to Sean again)
Escobar: (handing Sean a scalpel) Do it. Slit her throat.
Sean: No.
Escobar: OK. Uh… cut her wrist then. Let her bleed out. It’ll look like a suicide.
Monica Wilder: What do you need a scalpel for?
(Sean puts the scalpel down)
Escobar: Sean! This is better. (holding the gas mask and a hypo) Put her under. Pump her full of tranquillisers, then dump the body in the Everglades. You’ve done it before.
Monica Wilder: I don’t need surgery, do I, Sean?
Sean: (taking the gas mask from Escobar) Just try to relax. Haven’t you learned you can trust me yet?
(Sean goes to put the mask over Monica’s nose and mouth)
Escobar: Sean, do it. Do it and get your marriage back. Your family.
Sean: (taking the mask away from Monica’s face) You don’t need surgery, Monica. You need psychiatric help. Get up. Get dressed, go on.
Monica Wilder: (getting up from table) What are you talking about?
Sean: We’ll call a psychiatrist and we are going to get you some real help. You’re delusional and I’m worried you’re endangering my family.
Monica Wilder: Delusional? I’ve been doing my job! No, you’re the one who needs help, Sean. You… you took advantage of me. You tried to take away my job and now you’re kicking me out of your office when I’m clearly in pain. Maybe you’ll learn your lesson after I go to the police and tell them you raped me. If you didn’t want to take care of your son, you shouldn’t have screwed me like your wife!
(Monica heads out of the office)
Escobar: You’d better go after her, Sean. Quickly.
(Sean follows her out. Cut to outside the office; Monica is heading across the street when Sean comes out of the office)
Sean: Monica, wait! You’re being irrational! Let’s talk about this.
Monica Wilder: (stops in the middle of the road) You should worry more about what Julia’s going to say when I go to the police and tell them what you did!
(A bus comes out of nowhere and flattens her) (edit)
Burt: I took your advice. I confronted them. And I made the offer.
Dr. Faith Wolper: And?
Burt: And I feel like shit. (pause) Did I really do the right thing?
Dr. Faith Wolper: You don’t know if they’re going to follow through with it yet.
Burt: But even making the offer, it almost killed me.
Dr. Faith Wolper: Burt, you’ve been through a lot this year. Cancer. Losing your ability to function as a sexual person. Discovering the affair. Getting your power back is what these intensive sessions over the past couple of days have been about. I hope you’re not losing faith.
Burt: I just don’t want to lose Michelle.
Dr. Faith Wolper: Then trust me. (edit)
Christian: Michelle has suffered enough. There’s no need to be so cruel.
Burt: Cruel? You want cruel? Alright, first I sell the business. Then after I’ve sued you for negligence, you’d be lucky to find a job as a veterinarian in some shithole South American village. (to Michelle) And when I’m done dragging you over the coals in a divorce court, you’ll go back to your gutter where I found you.
Michelle: Go ahead. I’m not going to be your whore.
Burt: I swear on these fake balls of mine that I will ruin you both before I give my blessing so you can run away and play happily ever after. (edit)
(Burt confronts Christian and Michelle about their affair)
Christian: You should know it’s over between us.
Burt: Oh? Well, what if I don’t want it to be? (to Michelle) I wish I could be the lover I was thirty years ago with you, Michelle. But I can’t. You know the most beautiful thing in the world I’ve ever seen is that glow you get after you’ve had an orgasm. And I want to see that again. (to Christian) And you’re the one who can give it to you now. (edit)
(Sean imagines Escobar is talking to him about Monica)
Escobar: You’re never going to have any peace as long as this bitch in the picture.
Sean: What am I supposed to do?
Escobar: Kill her. (edit)
