"It restates the negativeness of the universe, the hideous lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness, the predicament of man forced to live in a barren godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror and degradation forming a useless bleak straightjacket in a black absurd cosmos." "What are you doing Saturday night?" "Committing suicide." "What about Friday?"
^^I actually stood behind a couple people in line at a coffee shop the other day who were quoting this. It made me so happy!
"I wonder if she actually had an orgasm in the two years we were married, or did she fake it that night?"
"I'm so excited, I think I'll brush all my teeth today!"
My favorite line is the aforementioned art museum exchange between Woody and the depressed, goth-looking chick, but I also love:
Linda: 'Alan, is that you? How'd it go tonight?' Alan: 'I got in a fight with some bikers.' Linda: 'A fight!? Oh Alan, are you alright?' Alan: 'Oh sure. I brought my chin down on one guy's knee, and smashed another guy on the fist with my nose.'
She ran off with the leader, they're heading for Mexico now. It never would have worked between Julie and me cause she's protestant and I'm catholic and it would have been a great religious abyss between us..
The whole fantasy in Allan's head where he and Dick are speaking proper refined highbrow English about Allan and Linda running off together and Dick saying that it's okay because he (Dick) only has two months to live.
Mere words do not do this scene much justice though, so go watch it. Now.
