  Eddie Murphy

• “Amelia: What are you smiling about? | Adam: I was thinking about this. <He reaches out and pats her tummy, still smiling> | Amelia: And what were you thinking about it? | Adam: I was just thinking how much I'd love to sit and rub it--away from all this. I was thinking how wonderful you'd probably be, completely sober, without all this insanity, by a fireplace, and how much I'd like to be there with you, rubbing your stomach. ♥ <slowly trailing his fingers over her tummy>”

• “Well, you know how crazy dreams are.”

  Amelia Stone

• “It occurs to me that eventually we all get old and die, and the sadness i feel over this thought seems wholly debilitating.”

  Amelia Stone

• “Sometimes I just become so overwhelmingly depressed by my thoughts.”

  Amelia Stone

• “Amelia: I'm mad at you, you know. | Adam: mad at me? Why? | Amelia: Why? Well, after telling me you wanted to take me away from our sordid Hollywood scene, you left me alone, without a pillow and blanket, by the fire, and then never even said goodbye to me when I left. | Adam: Oh, Amelia, Amelia, Amelia. I held you as you fell asleep but then you pulled away from me and onto the floor. I tried to tuck a pillow under your head and a blanket over you but you pushed them away. And then I watched you sleep, and thought about how it was one of the most beautiful sights I'd ever seen. ♥”

• “"You okay?" Why the hell do people ask that when the answer is so clearly no? </3”

  Amelia Stone

• “Spirituality doesn't always have to do with religion.”

  Tommy

• “Accepting that life is full of gray areas, of days and people that are just okay, is challenging because we can't get high off that, or create martyrlike drama around it.”

  Amelia Stone

• “Your mind is a dangerous place--don't go in there alone!”

  Justin

• “Seriously deranged!”

  Justin

• “High on life”

• “It was good to nail guys down to a time and place if you really liked them. Girls are allowed to be aggressive now. This isn't the fifties.”

• “If I could bottle your voice, pheromones, and words, I'd be a rich man. ♥”

  Adam

• “Amelia: Let me guess: just laughing out of the joy of this moment? | Adam: Sort of. That and the memory of you sleep-singing the last time you were in my car. | Amelia: Christ, why didn't you drive me to the nearest insane asylum? | Adam: Don't think I didn't want to. But then I knew I'd never have a chance with you. ♥”

• “Amelia: Adam! How are you? | Adam: Good. Just been in back-to-back interviews for the show. The only problem is that I'm completely distracted. | Amelia: Distracted? Why? | Adam: Honestly? Because I can't stop thinking about you. ♥”

• “Resenting someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

• “Expectations are resentments under construction.”
