1. This is why marriage is dumb, okay? It&aposs dumb. You have a job here, and she&aposs got a job there. You guys can&apost do anything because you&aposre so connected, so then one of you has to get the shaft.
2. --Why haven&apost we once talked about the fact that you are upset that you&aposre not running Clam Bar? You never talk about it.

3. And would you like to know why? Because these imaginary new donuts that you offer people, they may never arrive. Okay, they&aposre not real. And me, personally, I am not the type of person who wants to sit around and wait for something that might never arrive when they know that the thing they have in front of them is...It&aposs tasty! It&aposs good, okay? And you know what? It&aposs not about the age of the donut, it&aposs about the flavor. Boom. And you know the other thing? The new donuts, they&aposre going to get stale someday, too.
4. I got news for you, moron, your father and I, we&aposre not even 90% right for each other. Not even 60, okay? But he&aposs the love of my life.

精彩对白片段:
Tom: Hey! Hey! Can I show you three options for our invitation card stock?
Violet: You sure can.
Tom: I&aposm super excited. Okay, we have got the...
Violet: I love you.
Tom: Aw! I love you, too.
Violet: I do. Something crazy happened today. Winton called me into the office and hinted that they might be extending my postdoc.
Tom: So, what does that mean for us, exactly? Um...
Violet: I think what it probably means is that we would stay here just for a little bit and then... Would you like some of this wine?
Tom: Nope.
Violet: No? Okay. Um, I think the first phase would be a few years, and then, potentially, if that went well, for longer.
Tom: It sounds like we&aposre staying.
Violet: Look, I know our plans changed, but they changed because I did well, and I know it doesn&apost feel like that to you, but maybe it&aposs a good thing that they changed.
Tom: For you.
Violet: Yes, for me, but... I&aposve just worked so hard for my whole life for this. I feel like I&aposm on the verge, babe. And maybe it&aposs okay for me to be selfish.
Tom: Well, if it&aposs okay for you to be selfish, I guess everyone else can just figure it out on their own.
Violet: Okay, that came out wrong. That came out wrong.
Tom: No, I think you said exactly what you meant.
Violet: Academia&aposs my life, Tom. I guess you just don&apost understand.
Tom: (SIGHING) Can I tell you something? It makes me feel like shit when you tell me I don&apost understand things. Okay. No, listen, I have news for you. I do understand. I understand everything, I just don&apost like it.
Violet: Well, I&aposm sorry. You&aposre right.
Tom: It&aposs just not nice.
Violet: Okay, look. I&aposm very excited about what happened today. Do you want to know something? As soon as I heard the news, I felt instantly terrified to tell you. Now, there&aposs something wrong with that, that I feel like you can&apost share in this with me. Even a little.
Tom: I&aposm happy for you. (UNENTHUSIASTICALLY) Yay! We get to stay here!
Violet: You&aposre being a prick.
Tom: Then I&aposll just try to be happy, too.
Violet: That&aposs not being happy for me.
Tom: I want you to be happy.
Violet: That&aposs not being happy for me. That is martyring yourself and then blaming me for your perceived lack of success.
Tom: Now... Now I have a lack of success?
Violet: Well, I don&apost think you do.
Tom: I have a lack of success now?
Violet: But you clearly think you do and that&aposs the problem. The fact remains, Tom, that you work at a cool place, but you ruse to see it as that.
Tom: I ran a kitchen in San Francisco, okay?
Violet: Okay.
Tom: And you have no idea how it feels to be the guy in a relationship and not have a job that you&aposre proud of. It&aposs embarrassing.
Violet: Why haven&apost we once talked about the fact that you are upset that you&aposre not running Clam Bar? You never talk about it.
Tom: Because I&aposm a man, and men and women are different. (MOCKINGLY) We don&apost have to sit around and talk about our feelings. What? There&aposs nothing to say!
Violet: You say, "I&aposm upset," Tom! You say it!
Tom: Fine! You want to talk about it? Yes! I hate it here!
Violet: Thank you!
Tom: I hate it here!
Violet: Thank you for...
Tom: I think it sucks here! I think it sucks my fucking dick!
Violet: Great. Good for you.
Tom: I hate it! I hate it here!
Violet: Okay, okay, okay, but now we move forward. Now what should we do? Would you like to open up a Clam Bar here?
Tom: You can&apost get fresh clams here.
Violet: (EXHALING DEEPLY) I meant it as a metaphor.
(MIMICKING VIOLET EXHALING)
Tom: You know what? This is all very confusing. And I&aposm clearly overwhelmed. And I&aposve gotta be honest, I think the best thing would be for me to just be alone right now, so that I can think.
Violet: Okay. I&aposll just give you some time then, shall I?
Tom: Well, don&apost go. I mean... I need you here.
Violet: What do you mean? You just told me you needed time alone. What do you want? I don&apost know what you want.
Tom: I don&apost want you to go.
Violet: Okay.
Tom: I just want to be alone with you here. Can you at least lay down?
Violet: Okay.
Tom: Like a normal human being?
Violet: Do you want me just to be...
Tom: I want...
Violet: Okay.
Tom: I&aposm trying to be alone.
Violet: Yeah.
Tom: (SIGHS)
