Unconditional Acceptance


"Money: it don't care whether I'm good or not. It don't care whether I snore or not. It don't care which God I pray to. There are only three things in this world with that kind of unconditional acceptance: dogs, doughnuts, and money. Only money is better. You know why? Because it don't make you fat and it don't poop all over the living room floor."
Lawrence Garfield (Danny DeVito), Other People's Money

The Price of an Affair


"I decided that we shouldn't see each other any more. I wasn't even going to come here, but I thought at least I owed you an explanation, so I came. But when you walked through the door, I knew that I couldn't go through with it. That no matter what the price, I was willing to pay it."
Doris (Ellen Burstyn), Same Time, Next Year
