Requiem for a Dream

"Join us in creating excellence!"

"Harold, Im gonna be on television."

"[on her pills] Purple in the morning, blue in the afternoon, orange in the evening. [to her refrigerator] Theres my three meals, Mr. Smartypants. And green at night. Just like that, one, two, three, four."

"And you should see my Harry on television. Were giving the prizes away. I just wanted to be on the show!"

"[to Marion] You are beautiful. Youre the most beautiful girl in the world. Youre my dream."

"I love you, Harry. You make me feel like a person."

"Somebody like you can really make things all right for me."

"Im somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and theyll all like me. Ill tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? Its a reason to get up in the morning. Its a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. Its a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? Im alone. Your fathers gone, youre gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? Im lonely. Im old. Now when I get the sun, I smile."

"[in a what-if sequence, where she stabs her therapist with a fork, yelling at the top of her lungs] You smug fuck!"

"[Chanting] Be excited, be, be excited."

"You promised me that everything was going to be okay, remember? I fucked that sleaze-bag for you, then I put myself through fucking hell for you?"

"[Rule] number three. Whoa, number three! This... drives... most... people... crazy."
