Quotes

Dr. Sterling : Have you had any drugs in the last 24 hours?
Elizabeth : No. Well, I guess I snorted some coke and smoked some pot, but, uh, you know, that was just to make the ecstasy last longer.
Dr. Sterling : You sure you're not forgetting anything?
Elizabeth : Maybe a few beers?
Dr. Sterling : Did you ever think you might have a substance abuse problem?
Elizabeth : The only substance problem I have right now is that I need you to get me some tranq so I can come down off this fucking coke.
Dr. Sterling : And then what happens?

Elizabeth : I just keep thinking that, if I could just be normal, you know, if I could just get out of bed in the morning, everything would be OK.
Dr. Sterling : OK, well, what do you think normal is?
Elizabeth : Most people, you know, they cut themselves, they put a band aid on, they keep going.
Dr. Sterling : And what do you do?
Elizabeth : I just keep bleeding.
Dr. Sterling : So you think that being normal is having a wound, putting a patch on it and then just go on with your life?
Elizabeth : Isn't that what functioning is? Isn't that what living is? You know, you keep going no matter what happens to you.
Dr. Sterling : Is that the way you want to live?

Elizabeth : So, I guess this is the Freud part where I don't say anything and then you don't say anything... All of a sudden it's "Obviously you vish to sleep with your father".
Dr. Sterling : So I'm to take it you don't wish to sleep with your father?
-
Elizabeth : I feel so stupid sitting in therapy. A lot of people had much harder childhoods than mine.
Dr. Sterling : We're not talking about other people. We're talking about you.
Elizabeth : [narrating] I'll give her that much, I'm the problem.
