Quotes 

  • Ruby : Lizzie, I'm not crying because you're mean. I just can't imagine how incredibly painful it must be to be you.

  • [Ruby has found out that her boyfriend got a blowjob from Elizabeth] 

    Elizabeth : You don't understand. OK? You don't understand, it was an accident.

    Ruby : An accident? You call that a fucking accident?

    Elizabeth : It was... it was sort of, you know...

    Ruby : Come on, what?

    Elizabeth : An accidental blowjob?

  • Elizabeth : That article, it was just wish fulfilment. I was writing about how I wanted things to be. And the way people talked about it, the way you talked about it, it made it seem real.

    Ruby : Well, maybe it can be.

    Elizabeth : No. It was just a dream I held onto for way too long.

  • Ruby : People want to help. All right? I want to help you but I don't know what to do.

    Elizabeth : You know, I don't really need the company line right now, OK?

    Ruby : [sighs]  OK.

    Elizabeth : [narrating]  Jesus. Listen to me. All I see is the dark side of everything. Poor Ruby. I kill her joy. Look at her sad, discouraged face.

  • [Elizabeth has been awake for days, writing obsessively] 

    Noah : I don't know how to say this to you, all right? But you are starting to smell.

    Elizabeth : [scoffs]  This is important.

    Ruby : Lizzie, it's not as important as your health, all right? You gotta get some sleep.

    Elizabeth : [aggravated yell]  Will you just fuck off?

    [tearfully] 

    Elizabeth : I just have to finish this.

    Noah : I can get you some downers, okay?

  • Elizabeth : You know, I'm just really fucked up. I'm like a defective model. And you don't know that until you've been around me a while. You know some days I wake up and I feel so... flat-out just fucked, that I'll do anything to feel different.

    Ruby : Lizzie, when we're together you're fine. You're fun, you're...

    Elizabeth : Faking it.

    Ruby : Well, everybody does that.

    Elizabeth : Not like me.

  • Ruby : When we're together, you're fine. You're fun, you...

    Elizabeth : I'm faking it.

    Ruby : Well, everybody does that.

    Elizabeth : Not like me.

  • Ruby : Look, we all have bad days.

    Elizabeth : [narrating]  This is what people say in situations when they don't know what else to say. Fuck, I don't know what to suggest either.

    Ruby : I care about you, Lizzie.

    Elizabeth : [narrating]  What I want is for someone to understand. But they don't really. And that makes the platitudes harder to bear.

  • Elizabeth : [in cafeteria]  Ruby, this is crazy. We have to talk.

    Ruby : You know, I'd really rather not.

    Elizabeth : I'm sorry. You know that. And...

    [sighs] 

    Elizabeth : I have no excuse.

    Ruby : So then why? Why'd you do it?

    Elizabeth : You know, I'm just really fucked up.

    [chuckles] 

    Elizabeth : I'm like a defective model. And you don't know that until you've been around me a while.
