. Have you been dreaming about me?

Is that supposed to be me? It's... grotesque.

- You lost your mind? - According to my last psych evaluation, yes.

- I don't know what I hate wearing worse: your face or your body. I mean I enjoy boning your wife, but let's face it, we both like it better the other way, yes? So why don't we trade back. - You can't give back what you've taken from me. - OK, then... plan B, why don't we just kill each other?

- What kind of name is Ed for a pretty thing like you? - Short for Edwina. Turn to the right. - You're a flower, you are. Just a little desert flower.

- Why do you look like Peter Parker? - Because I am Peter Parker. - Then why aren't you dead? Why is your hair different? Why are you older? Why is your body... a different shape? - Pretty sure you just called me fat. - No, no, you just... - Hey, listen, you don't look so hot either, kid. Most superheroes don't wear their own merch.

You're just meat. Without a soul, without a brain, without anything. Animal. You, you have no spirit- everlasting. No, no radiant light. I possess elucidations you will never know.

Mandy, Panos Cosmatos (2018)

- I would be very careful about this if I were you. What if you fall into the hands of some madman with plans to manipulate your brain? - Well, that's why I was getting a divorce!

Terrorism is just an excuse.

- I keep thinking about how tough my father was. Now I know he had to be like that to make us tough. ‘Cause this city, it’ll kill you if you aren’t strong enough.  - No, the city doesn’t discriminate. It gets everybody. I gotta go. Another call. We’re all dying Mary Burke. 

We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people. And die! I mean that storybooks are bullshit! Now I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed!

I don't know who I am, but I know what keeps me alive is restraint. Keeps me out of jail. Keeps me from hurting people. A mark of some fucked-up faith that there's a reason. A reason for all of this. A reason in most moments I shouldn't do what I wanna do. I do as I'm told.

- Too bad he couldn't visit that old Wizard of Oz, and get some good advice. - Too bad we all can't baby.

- Linda, I finally figured out. I don't want sex. Anyone can have sex. - Yeah, Stacy? What do you want? - I want a relationship. I want romance. - You want romance? In Ridgemont? We can't even get cable TV here, Stacy, and you want romance!

- What's a pet? - It's an animal you don't eat. - We call those children.

- What are you mad at me for?  - Because I didn't have to know! You decided to have this problem, not me! My world would've gone on turning just fine, but now, either way I look, I have to do something that I don't wanna do. Do you I understand, I do not wanna do this!
