Proof (2005 film)

"I didnt show this to anyone. I wanted you to be the first to see it, I didnt know I wanted that until last night. I trusted you. Was I wrong?"

"[If Catherine had written the proof] It would be a real disaster for you, wouldnt it? You and the other geeks who barely finish their PhDs, who are marking time doing lame research, bragging about the conferences they go to, wow. Playing in an awful band, and whining that theyre intellectually past it at 26, because they ARE!"

"I really dont need this, Claire. Im fine, you know, Im totally fine, and then you show up here with these questions like "Are you ok?" with that soothing tone of voice and "Oh, the poor policemen", I mean, I think the policemen can handle themselves. And bagels and bananas and jojoba, and "Come to New York!" and vegetarian chili?! I mean, it really pisses me off, so just save it!"

"[voiceover] If I go back to the beginning, I could start it over again. I could go line by line, try and find a shorter way. I could try to make it... better."

"[voiceover] How many days have I lost? How can I get back to the place where I started? Im outside a house, trying to find my way in, but its locked and the blinds are down, and Ive lost the key, and I cant remember what the rooms look like or where I put anything. And if I dare go inside, I wonder, will I ever be able to find my way out?"

"[Referring to proof] It is forty pages long. I didnt memorize it. It is not a muffin recipe!"
