  • Riggan : Listen to me. I'm trying to do something important.

    Sam : This is not important.

    Riggan : It's important to me! Alright? Maybe not to you, or your cynical friends whose only ambition is to go viral. But to me... To me... this is - God. This is my career, this is my chance to do some work that actually means something.

    Sam : Means something to who? You had a career before the third comic book movie, before people began to forget who was inside the bird costume. You're doing a play based on a book that was written 60 years ago, for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is gonna be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over. And let's face it, Dad, it's not for the sake of art. It's because you want to feel relevant again. Well, there's a whole world out there where people fight to be relevant every day. And you act like it doesn't even exist! Things are happening in a place that you willfully ignore, a place that has already forgotten you. I mean, who the fuck are you? You hate bloggers. You make fun of Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important. You're not important. Get used to it.

    Sam : Dad...

  • Mike Shiner : Does she speak?

    Sam : She does. Yeah, she can sit, stay, and roll over if you have any treats.

  • Voice from the street : [Sam is sitting on the parapet of the theatre roof. Someone shouts from below]  JUUUMP!

    Sam : EAT ME!

    Voice from the street : OKAY. JUMP ON MY FACE!

    Sam : I love this city.

  • Sam : Why do you act like a dick all the time? Do you just do it to antagonize people?

    Mike Shiner : Maybe.

    Sam : You really don't give a shit if people like you or not?

    Mike Shiner : Not really.

    Sam : That's cool.

    Mike Shiner : Is it? I don't know.

  • Sam : Truth or dare?

    Mike Shiner : Truth.

    Sam : That's boring.

    Mike Shiner : Truth is always more interesting.

  • Sam : I want to ask another question.

    Mike Shiner : You already did.

    Sam : One more.

    Mike Shiner : Go ahead.

    Sam : If you weren't afraid, what would you want to do to me?

    Mike Shiner : I'd pull your eyes out of your head...

    Sam : That's sweet.

    Mike Shiner : ...and put them in my own skull, and look around, so I could see the street the way I used to when I was your age.

  • Sam : Do you really think you'll be ready for opening tomorrow?

    Riggan : Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, previews were pretty much a train-wreck. We can't seem to get through without a raging fire or a raging hard-on. I'm broke. I'm not sleeping like, you know, at all. And um, this play is kinda starting to feel like a major deformed version of myself that just keeps following me around, hitting me in the balls with a tiny little hammer. I'm sorry, what was the question?

    Sam : Never mind.

  • Sam : [inspects Mike's black eye]  Who did that to you? Could have been anybody, I suppose.

  • Sam : What's so funny?

    Riggan : [Sam brought him some flowers]  I can't smell it.

  • Sam : What kind of flowers did you say you wanted?

    Riggan : Alchemillas, or something that smells nice.

  • [last lines] 

    Sam : Dad? Dad?

    [runs to window, looks out, looks down, looks up, laughs] 

  • Sam : It all smells like fucking kimchi!

  • Mike Shiner : [Mike takes off his shirt and hands it to Sam. She doesn't budge, and it hits the floor. He begins to unbutton his pants...]  You gonna stand there?

    Sam : [Glancing at her cell]  This is the theatre, honey. Don't be so self-conscious.

  • Sam : What's so funny?

    Riggan : I can't smell them.

  • Riggan : What is this?

    Sam : Oh yeah

    [pause] 

    Sam : thats pot.
