The Key (2013)

Laura Dern: Amy Jellicoe

Quotes 

• Amy Jellicoe : What if this kingdom really is cursed? It is cursed. With a lunatic logic. A death drive. Its castle made of glass and concrete... and cancer. What if somehow you knew how to break the spell and only you could bring the light? What if somehow you had found the key that could unlock the chains? The magic key that could free us all. Would you use it? You have to use it.

• Tyler : So, you're sad now?

  Amy Jellicoe : I'm just tired of feeling small. You know, for two minutes there, I felt worth something. Like I was doing something, something real. And I was alive. That might sound pathetic but it felt good to be alive for once. And not just dead and plastic and numb. Oh, God, I really don't want to go back to being nothing. I mean, do you?

  Tyler : I don't know anything else.

  Amy Jellicoe : Tyler, come on. Let's be hopeful. You and me. We can try to do something. Not just be dying. I'm so sick of dying.

• Amy Jellicoe : People are living under the illusion that the American dream is working for them. And it's rigged by the guys at the tippy top.

  Tyler : Well, I, I may not be at the top, but I'm happy.

  Amy Jellicoe : No, you're not. You're miserable. You're a mole, you're paralysed.

• Amy Jellicoe : This kingdom, this amazing kingdom we have made. This monstrous kingdom. Its castles are magic. They are beautiful. They are built on dreams, and iron... and greed. They are inorganic and cannot sustain. No kingdom lasts forever. Even this will end. And life and earth will reign again.
