Greatest quote ever..

That quote struck me, too. Lovely.

It was an okay movie, wouldn't go so far as to call it great. Some decent lines, but nothing that was really good enough for me to remember. The whole movie had just a little bit of an unfinished feel, like the producers, writers, and director did a good job setting it up but needed some real pros to step into their places to get it done and be more than just "okay". I gave it a 6.

This movie was written extremely well and had great dialogue, far better than most "blockbusters." But you're right, it's for intelligent people. People who don't need things to see things in 3D, have CGI action, and or watch grown men grabbing their stuff and/or getting drunk - oops, this movie did have that, LOL. I digress. I enjoyed it.

The writer/director of this autobiographical movie has a history of terrible addiction to gambling, and that "you lose that person" stuff is how he honestly thinks (and I appreciate honesty in art), but he's wrong: you don't have to have a substitute mother to take care of you the rest of your life, which in the director's case is his long-suffering wife and editor. Even if you have a painful history of addiction, you can learn to take care of yourself. If you choose to have enabler(s)/babysitter(s) and you get away with it, so be it, but you DON'T have to.

I liked these...

"Why don't you just cut my balls off?"
"Use this."

"I didn't even get to eat my chicken. You know what? F---in' keep your chicken. I'm done...."
"No no no no, baby, um, come back, please please, Greg! I'll get the chicken!"

"I'll give you five [thousand]."
"Five?"
"Best I can do."
"You're kidding. I can lose five walking from here to there."
"I have no doubt."

"What you write?"
"A T.V. show."
"Wait, hold hold hold hold. Which one?"
"I'd rather not say."

(on the presence of squirrels) "I don't know what it's like where you are, but around here it's a serious problem."

"You do remember I'm your uncle, right?"

(to drug dealer) "You have any pot?"
"Pot? Who the f--- smokes pot anymore? Pot? Hell, they ought to take pot, they ought to hang it on the
wall of a museum somewhere. That's how old pot is. Pot is old, motherf---er."
"So you don't have any."

(drunk, to worker with leaf blower) "Excuse me, could you get me another Jameson's on the rocks, please? You know, why don't you bring me two Jameson's, with water. That way I won't have to keep bugging you."

"We should have people over more often."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."

(written to be typically bad sitcom humor) "Our first kiss was in a dark alley behind a bad Mexican restaurant."
"... That would explain why I get so excited whenever we have chimichangas."

"Greg is going to school. Tell him."
"Refrigeration. Learn the heating and cooling business. My focus is more on cooling."
"So, a lot of money in that?"
"Coolness? Global warming. Ever hear of it? (under his breath) What an idiot..."

"Hey, how's it going, handsome?"
"Hey, I am handsome."

"You told her..."
"I didn't tell her anything.... I didn't...."
"What do you think he told me?"
"Nothing...."
"I had a rough day at school. All I want to do is eat my dinner without people jumping all over my a--."
"You're right. I'm sorry."
"Why are you such a nagging b-tch all the time?"
"He had a girl in the house...."

"I just would like to have a nice dinner."
"Let's just change the subject."
"Fine."
"She had her shoes on in the house."
"Greg, damn it!"

"It's in North Vegas on Viceroy, I think."
"Viceroy? Thank you. Take your shoes off."

"You do realize he's not at all perfect? When you change out that lamp, you might want to take him along."

"I'm taking a quick break from my recovery."
