Jake: It's a long story, something about the violation of expectations and a crushing loss of faith, and love, and life, and art. Bill: So it's a girl? Jake: Yes. Bill: I've had a little bit of girl trouble myself lately. But it is better to have loved and lost, am I right? Jake: She was a unique constellation of attributes; she was my Halley's comet. But the universe is designed to break your heart, right? Bill: A philosopher as well as an artist, yes, it is we who suffer most. Jake: Yes, with the possible exception of the victims of violent crime
Walter: Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it.
Joey: Look, I know you're hurtin' now, but in time you'll realize what you've achieved. Jimmy Rabbitte: I've achieved nothing! Joey: You're missin' the point. The success of the band was irrelevant - you raised their expectations of life, you lifted their horizons. Sure we could have been famous and made albums and stuff, but that would have been predictable. This way it's poetry.
President Andrew Shepherd: You're attracted to me, but the idea of physical intimacy is uncomfortable because you only know me as the President. But it's not always going to be that way, and the reason I know that is there was a moment last night when you were with ME, not the President. And I know what a big step that was for you. So, Sydney, I'm in no rush. Here's my plan. We're going to slow down, and when you're comfortable, that's when it's going to happen. [Sydney emerges from the bathroom wearing nothing but one of his shirts] President Andrew Shepherd: Perhaps I didn't properly explain the fundamentals of the slowdown plan. Sydney Ellen Wade: [feeling the bed] No, you explained it great. President Andrew Shepherd: Are you nervous? Sydney Ellen Wade: No. President Andrew Shepherd: Good. My nervousness exists on... several levels. Number one, and this is in no particular order, I haven't done this in a pretty long time. Number two, uh, any expectations that you might have, given the fact that I'm... you know... Sydney Ellen Wade: [approaching seductively] The most powerful man in the world? President Andrew Shepherd: Exactly, thank you. I think it's important you remember that's a political distinction that comes with the office. I mean, if, uh, Eisenhower were here instead of me, he'd be dead by now... and number three... Sydney Ellen Wade: Andy... [she kisses him]
Mary: I may have made a mistake but that is no reason to patronize me. It is dismaying that your expectations are based on the performance of a lesser primate, and also revelatory of a managerial style which is sadly lacking. Is it any wonder then that I've chosen not to learn the intricacies of an antiquated and idiotic system [grunt] Mary: i think not! Judy Lindendorf: Re-code it! Mary: Fuck you! Judy Lindendorf: Re-code it! Mary: If you had really loved my mother, you wouldn't treat me like this.
Kyle: Rich daddy equals expectations. Expectations are like a fungal rot on a marriage. Tom: Our marriage is not going to have a 'fungal rot'. Kyle: Unless she finds out you slaughtered her dog! [laughs, then stops, seeing Tom's expression] Kyle: Oh, don't worry, I'll take that to my grave.
