Metropolitan (1990 film)

"But, unlike you, Ive always assumed Id be a failure anyway. Thats why I plan to marry an extremely rich woman."

"Rick Von Slonecker is tall, rich, good-looking, stupid, dishonest, conceited, a bully, liar, drunk and thief, an egomaniac, and probably psychotic. In short, highly attractive to women."

"Its a tiny bit arrogant of people to go around worrying about those less fortunate."

"The most important thing to realize about parents is that there is absolutely nothing you can do about them."

"Playing strip poker with an exhibitionist somehow takes the challenge away."

"[to Serena Slocum] I havent been giving you the silent treatment. I just havent been talking to you."

"Man at Bar: You go to a party, you meet a group of people, you like them and you think "These people are going to be my friends for the rest of my life". Then you never see them again. I wonder where they go. We simply fail without being doomed. Im not destitute. Ive got a good job that pays decently. Its just that its all so mediocre, so unimpressive. The acid test is whether you take any pleasure in responding to the question "What do you do?". I cant bear it. You start out expecting something much more, and some of your contemporaries achieve it. You start reading about them in the papers or seeing them on TV. Thats the danger of midtown Manhattan - running across far more successful contemporaries. I try to avoid them whenever I can. But when I cant, theyre always friendly. But inevitably they ask what am I doing - or think it."
