Mr. Morgan's Last Love

Pauline: "If I had a father like Matt, I would be very happy."
Miles: "Why, because he's such a shining example of fatherhood?"
Pauline: "That he's still alive."

Matthew: "All I ever wanted for you was to go out in the world and chase your dreams. Find adventure, fall in love, take risks. That's all I wanted for you."
Miles: "Why didn't you ever tell me that?"
Matthew: "Because I didn't think I had to."

Pauline: "What happened, Matthew?"
Matthew: "I botched an attempted to self-medicate."
Pauline: "What does that mean?"
Matthew: "It means I took too many sleeping pills. Or... too few. Depends on how you want to look at it."

Pauline: "I still think you're wrong, Matthew. I don't think you have everything in your life figured out."
Matthew: "Why would you think that? Tell me."
Pauline: "I think the day we figure out everything about our lives, is the day we die."

"You don't love life itself. You love, uhm, places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone, who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is gonna stop, too. But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, you can miss a single being, even though you are surrounded by countless others. Those people are like... like extras. They cloud your vision, they're a meaningless crowd. They're an unwelcome distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude. But solitude only makes you wither."

"You're beautiful. Obviously you're smart. And I can always tell when you're sad, because you hide behind your defiance when you are. When you're happy, all of you is happy. Even your hair. You don't have a mean bone in your body and I thought they didn't make them like that any more. You're funny. When you listen, you look interested. You're kind. And you wear your heart on your sleeve, which can be terribly intimidating. And you remind me of Joan."
