A Life Less Ordinary Quotes

Naville:
You are going to go to work, my girl.
Celine:
What?
Naville:
You have spent the last quarter of a century watching the tide go in and out, but from tomorrow, you are going to work. Here, under my supervision. You're going to learn the essence of business. About money, and how it flows relentlessly back towards he who owns it. How to generate a profit from a loss, a loss from a profit, you are going to work. Now this may not strike you as very palatable. It may make you want to vomit. But you will, I assure you, get used to the taste. And pretty soon, you'll be spooning it down and asking for more like all the other kids.

Naville:
Celine, why don't you give me the gun?
Celine:
Because as he dreamt, I shall save his life with an arrow, an arrow of my love for him. [she shoots Robert in the heart]

Celine:
So you're telling me that successful relationships... are made in heaven? Notfounded on the daily practicality... of two people being prepared... to tolerate the imperfections of one another?
Robert:
It's not successful relationships, Celine. It's love. And it comes from a strange and wonderful place... that we don't know about.
Celine:
So you also reject the idea... that love is merely an emotional adaptation... to a physical necessity?
Robert:
Completely.
Celine:
Are you serious?
Robert:
Fate intervenes in people's lives. In ours, for instance. Fate brought us together. It kept us together. We were destined for one another.
Celine:
Fate had a pretty strange way of making its point.
Robert:
But that's part of the beauty of it. It's inexplicable, unpredictable... and absolutely beyond control or understanding.
Celine:
But you nearly got killed.
Robert:
But I didn't... and here we are.
Celine:
Do you have any substantial evidence to back all this?
Robert:
None at all.
Celine:
And you realize that it's absurd and irrational?
Robert:
I know that.
Celine:
Then why do you believe it?
Robert:
Because, Celine, I'm a dreamer.
Celine:
Well, I guess that makes two of us.
Robert:
Are you ready?
Celine:
As I'll ever be.
Robert:
Then let's go.

Celine:
Someone let me out of this trunk! Robert, he's going to kill you! He doesn't want the money, okay? He's going to kill you! Just run, Robert, run!

I remember the good old days. All you had to do was introduce a man and a woman, Nature did the rest. Doesn't work like that anymore. Men and women, it's all gone to shit.
O'Reilly:
Sure has.
