A, My Name Is Alex (1987)

Justine Bateman: Mallory Keaton

Quotes 

• Alex P. Keaton : I was supposed to be in that car with him, Mal.

  Mallory Keaton : Yeah, but you weren't.

  Alex P. Keaton : No, I wasn't - I wasn't, and you know why? Because I was lazy, and because I was small; because I couldn't be bothered. My life was saved out of smallness, out of lack of generosity to a friend. I just don't get it, Mal - why am I still alive?

  Mallory Keaton : Because you still love to envy me?

  Alex P. Keaton : No, that's no answer.

  Mallory Keaton : I'm just joking, Alex.

  Alex P. Keaton : No! I should be with Greg! I should've been sitting right next to him, and I want answers because I can't keep going on like this.

  Alex P. Keaton : [breaks down]  Why am I alive? Why am I alive? Why am I alive?
