Behind the Red Door (2003)

Kyra Sedgwick: Natalie

Quotes 

• Natalie : You're being silly, Roy.

  Roy : I'm being Roy, silly.

• Natalie : It just seems so unfair, you know? I mean, if I have to do this family thing, shouldn't I get to experience some of the good stuff too?

  Julia : Well, who says the family thing has any rules? Wasn't it you who said, "Happy families are always happy in the same way", and...

  Natalie : ..."every unhappy family sucks in a different way"? No, that was Tolstoy.

  Julia : Oh. Gotta love those Russians.

• Roy : If you could, would you want to know when you were going to die?

  Natalie : No. Yeah. I-I don't know, maybe.

  Roy : Hmm... Not knowing is a luxury.

  [Roy coughs] 

  Roy : I used to think I was going to live long enough that I would hate getting old.

  [sarcastically] 

  Roy : Oh, fuck. I blew that one.

• Roy : Have you ever seen it snow on the ocean?

  Natalie : I don't think so.

  Roy : It's the sound of the snow, really. It's as if each individual flake has its own... voice. A hiss as it hits the water, and then this whisper as it tames the ocean's roar... peacefully. It's my favorite Christmas thing.

• Roy : Is that my sweater you have on?

  Natalie : No, Roy, it's my sweater.

  Roy : I think I'd know my own sweater, Natalie.

  Natalie : It's polyester, Roy.

  Roy : Definitely not my sweater.

• Roy : What's your problem now, besides the fact that you can't cook rice? And don't give me one of your looks.

  Natalie : I'm not.

  Roy : DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE NOT! Who the hell do you think you are? I AM STILL MR. ROY HADDAD, REMEMBER? Can you remember that? Can you remember fucking ANYTHING? You think you know everything, Natalie, but let me tell you I am here to tell you different, and DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

• Natalie : You know, it's funny. You're the only one in the entire family that ever had a real, loving relationship.

  Roy : From your mouth to God's ears. What about you?

  Natalie : Nothing like with you and Alan.

  Roy : Why not?

  Natalie : I don't know. Prefer to be alone, I guess.

  Roy : Sometimes I think you're the only woman waiting to come out as a heterosexual.

  [Roy leans forward and strokes Natalie's hair] 

  Roy : No one prefers to be alone, Natalie. No one. The first step is... scary. But it's worth it.

• Natalie : Are you...

  Roy : Done? Oh God, I hope so.

• Natalie : [voice over]  And if I ever became Miss America, he said, I shouldn't wish for world peace; just peace in our family.
