Lauren King: So what does your father do?
Daniel Michon: He drives.
Lauren King: A truck?
Daniel Michon: No... a taxi.
Lauren King: You shouldn't be embarrassed, it's honest work.
Daniel Michon: Not the way he does it.
Kay King: She spent the whole time reading a book. Well, don't you think a child her age would be more interested in watching a movie being made?
Richard King: It depends on the book.
Lauren King: That's why I wanted to go to Venice. Not just to run away. But so we could kiss under the Bridge of Sighs - at sunset - when the bells tolled. The way the Brownings did. And then we could love each other for ever.
Londet: Great boobs.
Daniel Michon: All this... and you look at that?
Londet: You look at what you like. I'll look at what I like.
Natalie Woodstein, Lauren's dorky friend: Are you in love?
Lauren King: You don't fall in love with a boy you just met.
Natalie Woodstein, Lauren's dorky friend: Are you?
Lauren King: Yeah.
Daniel Michon: ...that legend is just another one of your damn lies.
Julius: You could make it true. What are legends anyway but stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things? Of course, it takes courage and imagination... not everybody has that. I may be an old fraud Daniel, but I do know this: something that two people who are in love create together against impossible odds, can hold them together... forever.
Julius: There was no Emilia. She was a fantasy.
Daniel Michon: She was a lie.
Julius: She was an attempt to bring - a little romance - into my life.
Daniel Michon: That's pretty sad.
Julius: Any sadder than sitting in a darkened theater, pretending you are Robert Redford, performing heroic deeds?
Natalie Woodstein, Lauren's dorky friend: You don't know what love is like until you've fallen for your cousin.
Julius: The legend is true.
Lauren King: Heidegger isn't all that hard. I mean, his stuff is mostly etymological. You know, like, why is there something rather than nothing at all.
Julius: If I could pick horses, I wouldn't have to pick pockets.
Kay King: What is going on! Jesus Christ, Richard, get in here! They've been having an orgy.
Richard King: Don't be ridiculous! What were you doing?
Lauren King: We had some champagne and I opened my gifts. That's all.
