Quotes
-
Ellen : People say they love you. But what they mean is they love how loving you makes them feel about themselves.
-
Ellen : I just don't see the point.
Dr. William Beckham : In what?
[Ellen shrugs]
Dr. William Beckham : There is no point. Or, at least, big picture, we don't get to know what it is. Why we live... , why Megan lost the baby... , why that girl killed herself...
Ellen : You're not reassuring me doctor.
Dr. William Beckham : I can't reassure you. This idea you have, that there's a way to be safe, it's childish and cowardly. It stops you from experiencing anything, including anything good.
Ellen : You don't think I feel bad enough already? I know I'm messed up, but you're supposed to teach me how not to be.
Dr. William Beckham : You know how. Stop waiting for life to be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you. You don't need another person lying to you. Things don't all add up, but you are resilient. Face some hard facts and you could have an incredible life.
Ellen : That's your pearl of wisdom? Grow a pair?
Dr. William Beckham : That's a more concise way of putting it. Yeah.
Ellen : Unbelievable. Fuck you!
-
Ellen : Bet you didn't expect this much gynery today.
Dr. William Beckham : I do think this is a record number of mothers for one patient.
-
Dr. William Beckham : Your stepmom always talk that much?
Ellen : You know how sharks have to keep swimming or they'll die? She's kinda like that but with talking.
