John Benjamin Hickey - Mark Boland — The Ice Storm

"[to Elena] The only big fight weve had in years is about whether to go back into couples therapy."

"[voiceover] To find yourself in the negative zone, as the Fantastic Four often do, means all every day assumptions are inverted. Even the invisible girl herself becomes visible and so she loses the last semblance of her power. It seems to me that everyone exists partially on a negative zone level, some people more than others. In your life, its kind of like you dip in and out of it, a place where things dont quite work out the way they should. But for some people, the negative zone tempts them. And they end up going in, going in all the way."

"Mikeys been out of it since the day he was born."

"Ill show you mine if you show me yours."

"[to Paul] On the self-abuse front - and this is important - I dont think its advisable to do it in the shower.

Anyway, if youre worried about anything at all, just feel free to ask and well look it up."
