On things too mesmerizing not to be shared

"Do you have a lot of friends?"
"Not really..."
"Do you ever wish you did?"
"Yeah"
"When?"
"Well... like... now, for instance."
"Why?"
"Well... I just met you. And I feel like telling somebody about it."

(Christina and Eric, Exotica, Atom Egoyan, 1994)

On communication

"When I say something which deserves consideration and you respond without thinking, how does that make you feel?"
"I feel fine."
"I thought you might feel stupid."

The Adjuster (Atom Egoyan, 1991)
