After Alice (2000)

Polly Walker: Dr. Vera Swann

Quotes 

• Dr. Vera Swann : Why do you drink so much?

  Mickey : Why are you such a pain in the ass?

  Dr. Vera Swann : No, I really want to know.

  Mickey : So do I.

  Dr. Vera Swann : Well, the work I do... no-one takes seriously... it's my defence...

  Dr. Vera Swann : [seeing Mickey smirking]  and I refuse to be anaylised by a man who lives his life looking through the prism of melting ice cubes...

  Mickey : Fair enough but if you're expecting something tragic you're going to be disappointed... I like to drink... sometimes I like to get drunk... sometimes I like to pass out. I don't hurt anybody with it and I don't drink on the job, contrary to my lieutenant's beliefs. Iit hasn't killed me... at least not yet.
