Quotes 

• 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.

• John : Gaby, I'm sorry to disturb you, but we're ready to cut the cake.

  Gaby : [behind the bathroom door]  When Justine took her first crap on the potty, I wasn't there. When she had her first sexual intercourse, I wasn't there. So give me a break, please, with all your fucking rituals.

• John : Those bitches have locked themselves in their bedrooms and now they're taking a bath. Is everybody in your family stark raving mad?

• John : Melancholia is just gonna pass right in front of us. And it's gonna be the most beautiful sight ever.

• John : I would like to raise a toast. To life.

  Claire : To life? What do you mean, to life? You said it was going to be okay.

  John : Well, there was no sense in alarming everybody.

  Claire : So, you're saying that our lives were in danger?

  John : No, I was saying - No. I was saying that when dealing with science and calculations of this magnitude, you have to account for a margin of error. That's all - that's all I'm saying.

• John : Are you frightened?

  Claire : No. It looks - it looks friendly.

• John : Sweetheart, it's time to wake up.

• John : Tomorrow evening Melancholia will pass us by and you'll never have to see it again, okay?

  Claire : So it won't hit us?

  John : Not a chance.

  Claire : What if your scientists have miscalculated?
