"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

"Mom, do we always have to listen to this elevator music?" "No. No, we don't. As soon as you've prepared a nutritious yet savory meal that I'm about to eat, you can listen to whatever you like." "Will someone please pass the *beep* asparagus?" "Who are you looking for?" "My parents are coming tonight. They're trying to, you know, take an active interest in me." "Gross. I hate it when my mom does that." "Everything that's meant to happen does." "This isn't life! This is just stuff! And it's become more important to you than living!" "Oh Carolyn, when did you become so... joyless?" "Joyless? I'm not joyless. There happens to be a lot about me that you don't know, Mr. Smarty Man. There's plenty of joy in my life." "Well guess what, I've changed! And the new me whacks off when he feels horny, because you're obviously not gonna help me out in that department!" "It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about." "Good. I'm looking for the least possible amount of responsibility."

"Stupid is as stupid does." "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates." "Run Forrest! Run!"

"It's ok. It's me Telly."

"You like apples? Well I got her number. How ya like them apples?"

"I just want to make enough money to where i can get away from everyone." "Bastard in a basket!"

"I coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contender."

"Mathematicians won the war. Mathematicians broke the Japanese codes... and built the A-bomb. Mathematicians... like you. The stated goal of the Soviets is global Communism. In medicine or economics, in technology or space, battle lines are being drawn. To triumph, we need results. Publishable, applicable results. Now who among you will be the next Morse? The next Einstein? Who among you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom, and discovery? Today, we bequeath America's future into your able hands. Welcome to Princeton, gentlemen." "So what's your story? You the poor kid that never got to go to Exeter or Andover?" "Despite my privileged upbringing, I'm actually quite well-balanced. I have a chip on both shoulders." "There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is." "So how about it, Nash? You scared?" "Terrified... mortified... petrified... stupefied... by you." "Nothing's ever for sure, John. That's the only sure thing I do know." "Her husband was too drunk to know he was too drunk to drive." "I need to believe, that something extraordinary is possible." "You can't reason your way out of this!" "Why not? Why can't I?" "Because your mind is where the problem is in the first place!" "What truly is logic? Who decides reason? My quest has taken me to the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional, and back. I have made the most important discovery of my career - the most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found. I am only here tonight because of you." (looking at Alicia) "You are the only reason I am. You are all my reasons. Thank you." "Fortune favors the brave!" "Find a truly original idea. It is the only way I will ever distinguish myself. It is the only way I will ever matter." "Alicia, does our relationship warrant long-term commitment? I need some kind of proof, some kind of verifiable, empirical data." "I'm sorry, just give me a moment to redefine my girlish notions of romance." "I don't exactly know what I am required to say in order for you to have intercourse with me. But could we assume that I said all that. I mean essentially we are talking about fluid exchange right? So could we go just straight to the sex." "If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid." "You wanted to see if I was crazy and would screw everything up if I actually won." "They are my past. Everyone is haunted by their past." "God must be a painter. Why else would we have so many colors?" "I've gotten used to ignoring them and I think, as a result, they've kind of given up on me. I think that's what it's like with all our dreams and our nightmares, Martin, we've got to keep feeding them for them to stay alive." "I still see things that are not here. I just choose not to acknowledge them. Like a diet of the mind, I just choose not to indulge certain appetites; like my appetite for patterns; perhaps my appetite to imagine and to dream." "It's called "life," John. Activities available; just add meaning." "Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?" "Man is capable of as much atrocity as he has imagination." "I find you attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me... indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we continue with a number of platonic activities... before we have sex. I am proceeding with these activities, but in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible...Are you gonna slap me now?"

"Ass to Ass!"

"Ya know it's hard out there for a pimp."
