I wonder about you, and about how you felt. The thought keeps me up at night." Iris (Naomi Watts), thinking about her best friend and mentor, Walter (Bill Murray), The Friend.

Laura (Imogen Poots), to best-friend Simon (Brett Goldstein), All of You (2025):
"I also found this box of letters, and they were between him (her father) and this woman who he must have been with before I was born. There's hundreds of them, and they're all her telling him about her day and how much she misses him...and not a day goes by in her life where she doesn't...he wasn't seeing her, he was just writing to her, and he kept them; every single one.
And, there's so much love in those letters. I never saw that with him and my mum. Really broke my heart. Why didn't he just go to her?
Simon, to Laura: Because he was with your mum? Because he had you. Because he was a decent man? Because that's how life is, isn't it?"
Later, Laura, to Simon: "We hurt people, and they don't even know we're doing it to them."
Simon, to Laura: "I'll miss you. Every single day."

"Édouard Manet. 1875. He used to sit in cafes and try to paint people, but never finished anything because they would get up. And then one day, he saw a reflection of himself, and he painted it. He says that in that moment he realized that he could be an artist, because he couldn't recognize himself; the painting showed him who he truly was." -Steve (Taylor Gray) to Sara (Alexandra Templer), Any Day Now, 2025.

But after my discharge, I didn't know where I fit, or what to do, or how to give my kids the things that other kids had. So, I made some bad choices." -Jeffrey (Channing Tatum), Roofman, 2025.
