Through Her Looking Glass

Gay Lynn: ...But then I felt something. A special kind of feeling that leads you to a specific direction, and then I found it.

Frances: It’s that thing when you’re with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it… but it’s a party… and you’re both talking to other people, and you’re laughing and shining… and you look across the room and catch each other’s eyes… but - but not because you’re possessive, or it’s precisely sexual… but because… that is your person in this life. And it’s funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it’s this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It’s sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don’t have the ability to perceive them. That’s - That’s what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.

Jayden: Please don't be offended if I'm not very friendly, but I'm going to be living with my dad soon, and I don't really like wasting time on short-term relationships. So, you know, it's nothing personal. Luis: Wow. She seems like a really nice girl.

James: I'm not really sure. You know, the best thing about playing...You know when you have a feeling and you don't want it to fade away, but you don't really know how to keep it? Well, that feeling comes back when I play, like I can keep it. No talking, no disappointing anyone for three to five whole minutes.  Franny: You should write longer songs.

Movie - Comet (2014) Set in a parallel universe, Comet bounces back and forth over the course of an unlikely but perfectly paired couple's six-year relationship. Dell: I`m probably gonna fall in love with you.

Movie - Whiplash (2014) A promising young drummer enrolls at a cut-throat music conservatory where his dreams of greatness are mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential. Fletcher: The truth is I don’t think people understand what it is I did at Shaffer. I wasn’t there to conduct. Any idiot can move his hands and keep people in tempo. No, it’s about pushing people beyond what’s expected of them. And I believe that is a necessity. Because without it you’re depriving the world of its next Armstrong. Its next Parker. [....] Andrew: But do you think there’s a line? You know, where you discourage the next Charlie Parker from becoming Charlie Parker? Fletcher: No. Because the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.

Wanda: What sort of sacrifice are these vows of yours?

Because we never changed the locks my dear  In too much space we hide  In both ways I apologise

Abel: I love music. I just wish I didn't need it to pay the bills. Evan: Yeah, but if you didn't write music what would you do? Right? Abel: I would buy a cliff. Evan: Huh? Abel: I would buy a cliff where people could come and throw shit off. You know, like fax machines and computers or whatever. Things that piss them off cause they didn't work right. Like an outlet for machine rage. And the whole thing would be video taped in slow-motion so they could watch their heap of shit break into a million pieces back at home. Plus, for an extra couple bucks I would attach an explosive so it would blow up on impact. Just like they do in the movies. A big fire ball. That would be cool.

Tony: I say this world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in, and I wanna see that world.

Enid: You know what my number one fantasy used to be? Seymour: What? Enid: I used to think about one day, just not telling anyone, and going off to some random place. And I'd just... disappear. And they'd never see me again. Did you ever think about stuff like that? Seymour: I guess I probably did when I was your age. Enid: You know what we should do? We should just get in your car right now, and just drive off. Just find some totally new place and start a whole new life. Fuck everybody.

Andrew Largeman: You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for one reason or another. And she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls rolling around. And there was like snot running down my nose. And she offered me her sleeve and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself, this is love... this is love.

Karen: When the other rabbits hear of Fiver's vision, do they believe him? Donnie: Why should we care? Karen: Because the rabbits are us, Donnie. Donnie: Why should I mourn for a rabbit like it was human? Karen: Are you saying that the death of one species is less tragic than another? Donnie: Of course. The rabbit's not like us. It has no history books, no photographs, no knowledge of sorrow or regret. I mean, I'm sorry, Miss Pommeroy. Don't get me wrong. You know, I like rabbits and all. They're cute and they're horny. And if you're cute and you're horny, then you're probably happy that you don't know who you are or why you're even alive. You just wanna have sex as many times as possible before you die. I just don't see the point in crying over a dead rabbit, you know, who never even feared death to begin with.

Scott Pilgrim: I know you play mysterious and aloof just to avoid getting hurt. And I know you have reasons for not wanting talk about your past. I want you to know that I don't care about any of that stuff. Because I'm in lesbians with you.

Donna: He’s like, so christian, it’s like a Christmas tree. Joey: So be the Angel on top. Donna: I’m not the Angel on top, I’m the menorah on top of the tree that burns it down.

Penny: "I wish I'd met you a long time ago. When we were kids."
