Quotes 

• Susan Weber : Decisive, committed, admittedly obscure work, indifferent to main-stream approval and unafraid of confrontation with moral and aesthetic absolutes. This, more than you might imagine, is what keeps people from jumping out windows and under trains. Adding to mass-cultural self-congratulation is, of course, its own reward I suppose. Cheap, immediate and disposal as it is... Sorry.

  Simon Grim : So you think it's okay for me to be unpopular...

  Susan Weber : Oh, I think it's necessary.

  Simon Grim : You're an unusual person.

  Susan Weber : I have few friends.

• Susan Weber : Come on, get some sleep.

  [pats the bed] 

  Ned Rifle : No, I have to... I have to go...

  Susan Weber : You have to go pray?

  Ned Rifle : Yeah.

  Susan Weber : You have to tell me about that one day.

  Ned Rifle : What's to tell?

  Susan Weber : How it feels to have someone listening...

• Susan Weber : They thought I was crazy because I was in love with you.

  Henry Fool : Well, they were right, I was the janitor at your junior high school.

  Susan Weber : You turned me on to Lautréamont.

  Henry Fool : Did I?

  Susan Weber : And Verlaine, Rimbaud.

  Henry Fool : Really.

  Susan Weber : All the French symbolists. Of course I out-grew them, but they were formative.

  Henry Fool : Yeah, well, but still there are limits. I mean, there are laws even.
