Meet Cute (I) (2022)

Deborah S. Craig: June

Quotes 

• Gary : Love is real. This is not, it's very fake, it's orchestrated. It's inorganic.

  June : You ever had an organic banana? Tastes just like a regular banana.

• June : Sometimes people cut you, and they leave an imprint on you that's like a gash on your soul. You just live with it and you can't undo that. If you erase the pain, you erase the person.

• Gary : This? This is the source of all my problems?

  June : Yeah. But sounds like you had a pretty sweet night last night.

  Gary : Yeah, over and over and over again, like I'm in some sort of fucked-up permanent purgatory hell.

  June : So like love?

  Gary : No, not at all. She keeps making me do the same thing. And what's weird about it is, I like her.

  June : Oh, so like a relationship?

  Gary : No, not like a relationship at all. I get emotionally involved and then somehow get hurt, and I don't even know how many times she's done it.

  June : So like love?

  Gary : No, 'cause love is-- love is real. This is not. This is very fake. This is orchestrated. This is inorganic.

• Sheila : But hello, spoiler alert. I have a time machine. I could go back, talk to your parents, remind them what a treasure you are. They'll love you from the start. And bam, trauma eliminated.

  June : Don't fuck with my trauma, Sheila. If I didn't have these occasional moments of complete and total worthlessness, I wouldn't have this sparkling sense of humor.

• June : ...It's a time machine... . The owner bought it, but he doesn't like it. It only goes back 24 hours.

  Sheila : Damn, false advertising. Such a problem these days, June. Tell me about it.

  June : The owner went back 24 hours before he bought the time machine to not buy the time machine.

• Sheila : I'm just such a fucking loser. I'm such a fucking sad sack.

  [crying] 

  Sheila : Why are you so nice to me?

  June : You tip decent.

• Sheila : Time travel. Tomorrow, yesterday, it doesn't matter. That's the problem. That is the problem. No matter what, my life is shit, okay?

  June : This is a second chance, and those are rare. So maybe you should take it. You might see things differently on the other side. And if you don't, you can always kill yourself later.

  Sheila : Yeah, I'll do it. Fuck it. Maybe I'll get shit out on the other side of the rainbow.

  June : That's the spirit.
