• Michael : This could have been a lot different.

  Justine : Yes. But, Michael... what did you expect?

• Justine : The earth is evil. We don't need to grieve for it.

  Claire : What?

  Justine : Nobody will miss it.

  Claire : But where would Leo grow?

  Justine : All I know is, life on earth is evil.

  Claire : Then maybe life somewhere else.

  Justine : But there isn't.

  Claire : How do you know?

  Justine : Because I know things.

  Claire : Oh yes, you always imagined you did.

  Justine : I know we're alone.

  Claire : I don't think you know that at all.

  Justine : 678. The bean lottery. Nobody guessed the amount of beans in the bottle.

  Claire : No, that's right.

  Justine : But I know. 678.

  Claire : Well, perhaps. But what does that prove?

  Justine : That I know things. And when I say we're alone, we're alone. Life is only on earth, and not for long.

• Justine : I smile and smile and smile...

• John : You'd better be goddamn happy.

  Justine : Yes, I should be. I really should be.

  John : Do you have any idea how much this party cost me? A ballpark figure?

  Justine : No. I don't. Should I?

  John : Yes, I think you should. A great deal of money. A huge amount of money. In fact for most people, an arm and a leg.

  Justine : I hope you feel it's well spent.

  John : Well, that depends whether or not we have a deal.

  Justine : A deal?

  John : Yes, a deal. That you be happy.

  Justine : Yes, of course. Of course we have a deal.

• [crying into her meatloaf] 

  Justine : It tastes like ashes!

• Justine : But I tried, Claire.

  Claire : You did. I know you did.

• Leo : Dad says there's nothing to do then. Nowhere to hide.

  Justine : If your dad said that, then he's forgotten about something. He's forgotten about the magic cave.

• Justine : I was just thinking - what if instead we try and sell you to the public, Jack? Well then, surprisingly, I'd arrive right back where I started from - at nothing.

  Tim : "Nothing." It's not such a bad tagline, Jack.

  Jack : Would my newly pledged A.D. please expand a little on her thoughts of the tagline?

  Justine : Nothing is too much for you, Jack. I hate you and your firm so deeply I couldn't find the words to describe it. You are a despicable power-hungry little man, Jack.

  Jack : Is that a resignation? Because they aren't too many jobs out there, I tell you.

• Justine : I'm trudging through this grey wooly yawn. It's curling into my legs, it's really heavy to drag alone.

• Justine : You want us to gather on your terrace, to sing a song, have a glass of wine, the three of us?

  Claire : Yes. That would make me happy.

  Justine : Do you know what I think of your plan?

  Claire : No. I was hoping that you might like it.

  Justine : I think it's a piece of shit.

  Claire : Justine. please. I just want it to be nice.

  Justine : Nice? Why don't we meet on the fuckin' toilet?

  Claire : Then, let's not.

  Justine : You're damn right let's not!

  Claire : Sometimes I hate you so much, Justine.

• Justine : I'm frightened, Mom. I have trouble walking properly.

  Gaby : You can still wobble, I see. So just wobble the hell out of here. Stop dreaming, Justine.

  Justine : I'm scared.

  Gaby : We all are, sweetie. Just forget it. Get the hell out of here.

• Tim : The way I see it, you're now short of a boss and a husband, could I, in all humility, offer my services? You have the ideas. I have the head for business. We could be the perfect couple. We've had good sex.

  Justine : I don't think that's a very good idea.

  Tim : No. No.

• Jack : Too bad about Tim.

  Justine : What about Tim?

  Jack : That he got fired. he didn't last many hours in the business, but then again, it's a rather unpredictable one. You're a king one day and beggar the next.

  [to Tim] 

  Jack : So, you go right back to wherever you came from, right, buddy?

  Michael : Sir. Eh...

  [looking backward] 

  Michael : Yeah, you're good. You can back up a little more, if you want. I think you need the... I think you need that extra...

  Justine : [laughing]  I don't think he can hear you.

  Michael : Sir. Sir, can you hear me up there?

  [fiddling with controls] 

  Michael : Do you copy, sailor? He's in a different county, I think that's...

  Justine : [laughing] 

• Claire : Be happy, please. If I dare, you can do it.

  Justine : I'm happy you're happy.

• Michael : You're not even looking!

  Justine : I can see it's not lookin' good.

• Claire : Justine, come and have a bath.

  Justine : I've had a bath.

  Claire : Really?

  Justine : Yes. I'm very clean.
