Petal Bear: It's 8:05. I think I'm gonna fuck you by 10:00.
Quoyle: What are we doing here?
Agnis: Makin' a future.

Directed by: Lasse Hallström
Starring: Julianne Moore, Kevin Spacey, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench
Continuity mistake: When Quoyle and Bunny sit at the table in their yard talking about life and death, there is no space between their bodies. In one shot one can see their backs as a reflection in the window, with a gap of about 10 inches between them. (00:16:00)
Trivia: When Quoyle shows his aunt and her assistant the front page of the paper he has just started to work for, his aunt says, when she sees the picture of a large yacht with all the sails up, "They took off without paying us for all the work we did." The assistant says, "When you find them and write about it, you can get the Pulitzer." The author of the book, E. Annie Proulx, actually got a Pulitzer for the book, "The Shipping News."
