Scene

Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: [pauses] Okay.



Mr. Fox: I don’t know, but I have a possible theory. I think I have this thing where I need everybody to think I’m the greatest -- the quote-unquote fantastic Mr. Fox --
and if they aren’t completely knocked out,dazzled, and kind of intimidated by me, then I don’t feel good about myself.

Foxes traditionally like to court danger,hunt prey, and outsmart predators -- and that’s what I’m actually good at! I think, at the end of the day, I’m just --

Mrs. Fox: (quietly) We’re wild animals.

Mr. Fox: I guess we always were. I promise you: if I had all this to do over again, I’d have never let you down. It was always more fun when we did it together, anyway.

I love you, Felicity.


Mrs. Fox: I love you, too, but I shouldn’t have married you.



"Some friends don't understand this. They don't understand how desperate I am to have someone say, I love you and I support you just the way you are because you're wonderful just the way you are. They don't understand that I can't remember anyone ever saying that to me. I am so demanding and difficult for my friends because I want to crumble and fall apart before them so that they will love me even though I am no fun, lying in bed, crying all the time, not moving. Depression is all about If you loved me you would."



"Why are you leaving me?
He wrote, I do not know how to live.
I do not know either but I am trying.
I do not know how to try.
There were some things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So i buried them and let them hurt me"
— Jonathan Safran Foer

You have it down right.

I could be Joel and you could be Clementine - and the other way around. We'd relive this tale a few more rounds before figuring out an outcome.

You win this round, but I'll be back for more.

Words borrowed:
I love you and I support you just the way you are because you're wonderful just the way you are
