Quotes 

• Jane : Oh, you're so negative.

  Diana : I certainly am. If there's one thing I'm positive about it's being negative.

• Diana : Tom, should you be leaving like this?

  Tom : No.

  Diana : Well, maybe you shouldn't.

  Tom : Of course I shouldn't.

  Diana : Well then, why are you?

  Tom : Oh God, woman, don't you ever listen to your own lectures? To stay alive, one must be bloody-minded and contrary at all times!

  Diana : Well, maybe I was just theorising.

• Diana : Pain is experience, Tom!

  Tom : Experience for what?

  Diana : For its own sake. Now, if we were to shoot ourselves, there would be a moment when we would know what it felt like to be shot. We would be more complete human beings. Metaphysically, that is. Physically, of course, we'd be slightly less complete human beings.

  Jane : And what are we painting?
