Tyler: Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it. Because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says you're nowhere near ready, but the other half says: make her yours forever.
Tyler: Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says: "You're nowhere near ready". And the other half says: "Make her yours forever". Michael, Caroline asked me what would I say if I knew you could hear me. I said: "I do know. I love you.
God, I miss you, and I forgive you.
Ally Craig: I have my dessert first.
Tyler: Is that a political statement? A medical condition, perhaps?
Ally Craig: I just don't see the point in waiting. I mean, what if I die while eating my entree?
Tyler: Is that probable?
Ally Craig: It's possible. What if I choke? What if an
asteroid come hurling down onto the restaurant?... I'll tell you what, if you swear on your eternal soul that I'll make it through my entree, then I'll wait. But before you answer, consider that if something does happen, you'll have to live the rest of your life knowing that not only did you lie to me, but you denied of my one last indulgence. Are you prepared to shoulder that kind of
responsibility?
Tyler: [tries to kiss her, but is denied]
Ally Craig: Not tonight. Not never, but just not tonight.
Tyler: So, dessert first in case of asteroids, yes. But kissing a guy you seem at least somewhat attracted to before riding off into the unknown New York night alongside a panda you've only just met, no?
Ally
Craig: [kisses him] You're weird.
Tyler: I know.
Tyler: You know what day I'm staring at, Michael. By 22, Ghandi had 3 kids; Motzart, 37 symphonies; and Buddy Holly was dead.
Tyler: [barges into his father's meeting after he doesn't show up to Caroline's art show]
[holds up Caroline's picture]
Tyler: She drew you a picture! She drew you a picture, and you didn't come.
Charles: Put it on the table.
Tyler: You have a daughter who sincerely believes that you don't like her. I
mean, she's trying to communicate. She's speaking. But why aren't you listening? I mean, why aren't you
[raises his tone]
Tyler: riveted! Why isn't this the most important thing? Just one night!
Man in Charles' Meeting: We can come back...
[starts rising out of the seat, along with the other people in the meeting]
Charles: No,
sit down.
[they sit back down]
Charles: [turns to Tyler] Who is this display for?
Tyler: It's for you.
Charles: She knows I'll take care of her.
Tyler: [stifles a laugh] And?
Man in Charles' Meeting: We... really can come back...
[rises again]
Charles: Sit
the fuck down!
[they sit back down]
Charles: [turns to Tyler again] I love her.
[Tyler rolls his eyes]
Charles: Good God, you toss that word around but you have no idea what it means.
Tyler: Maybe I don't. Maybe Caroline doesn't either...
Charles: I provided her world, and yours.
Tyler: That doesn't mean you can't just shatter it! How do you feel, when you have something better to do?
Charles: Who the hell do you think you're talking to? You pedaled down here on your bike, for Christ's sake! You're gonna take care of nothing! You're responsible for no one! You're a kid! You think you're the first one to lose anything? You think,
that whatever you feel in your heart, I don't also feel it in mine?
Tyler: [referring to Michael] You didn't find him. Okay? I found him. And you're just so... tragically blind that you think the rest of your children are just gonna hang themselves...
Charles: [charges toward Tyler] You little piece of...
Tyler: [People in the
meeting separate them] What!
Caroline Hawkins: There's like a thing.
Tyler: A thing?
Caroline Hawkins: A show. Where you show what you've done and stuff. Will you come?
Tyler: Ummm
[reaches into his bag]
Tyler: I'll have to check my book. Uh... Abso-freakin-lutely! Are you insane? I'm going to be there the
day before. I'm going to camp out.
