Look Closer

-"Never underestimate the power of denial."

-"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself."

-Brad: Man, you are one twisted fuck.
Lester: No. I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.

-"I'm not obsessing, I'm just curious."

-"It's okay- I wouldn't remember me either."



-"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

-Carolyn: Uh, whose car is that out front?
Lester: Mine. 1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it...I RULE!

-" 'Lost it'?! I didn't LOSE it! It's not like, 'Whoops! Where's my job go?' I QUIT!"

-"If people I don't even know look at me and want to fuck me it means I have an even better chance at being a model...which is GREAT!"



-Brad: (reading Lester's job description) "My job requires mostly masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell."

-"Your mother seems to prefer I go through life like a fucking prisoner while she keeps my dick in a mason jar under the sink!"


-Lester: So, what do you want?
Angela: I don't know...
Lester: You don't know?
Angela: Well, what do you want?
Lester: Are you kidding? I want YOU.

-"This isn't life. It's just STUFF. And it's become more important to you than living. Well, honey- that's just NUTS!"

-"There's nothing worse than being ordinary."

-Jane: Don't you feel naked?
Ricky: I AM naked.
