Alice Green: Never better.
Michael Green: What happened, something at A.A.?
Alice Green: Uh... I'll be okay. It's just a really bad day.
Michael Green: You wanna tell me what's wrong? Something I can do?
Alice Green: Thank you, but...
Michael Green: Can't fix it, unless we know it's broke.
Alice Green: How was your meeting?
Michael Green: First time, I'll get used to it. There was a lot of people there feeling sorry for themselves. It's like an alcoholic has ruined their lives and they'd rather be a victim than try and fix it.
Alice Green: Fix it, huh?

I´ve seen When A Man Loves A Women many many times and still can´t get enough of it. I just love the movie. I think that Ryan and Garcia should have been nominated for Academy Awards, because their acting was superb. For two hours I actuaaly thought that Rayan and Garcia really ARE who they portrayed. They made the story so believable and heart-touching, it seemed so realistic - I just cried and cried and cried and prayed that they would end up together (and the fact that in the end love conquered all made me extremely happy)
