“Those of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now.”

Uma Thurman - The Bride

“- Claudia: Do you ever think what our lives would be like if we had the baby?
- Charlie: Yeah, we'd be miserable.
- Claudia: 'Cause we're just so happy now, huh?
- Charlie: I'm happy. I'm real happy.”
Lauren Holly - Claudia

“If we had kids, we'd be spending every day working hard to feed them, clothe them, put them through school; only for them to tell us to go fuck ourselves when they turn sixteen, you know? No thanks.”

Edward Burns - Charlie

“The most terrifying day of your life is the day the first one is born. Your life, as you know it is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life.”

Bill Murray - Bob Harris

“Who had mama been? What had she wanted to be or do before I was born? Once I was born her hopes turned, and I climbed up her life like a flower reaching for the sun. Her life had folded into mine. Who would I be when I was 15, 20, 30? Would I be as strong as she had been? As hungry for love? As desperate, determined and ashamed?”
Laura Dern - Narrator
