“Oh right, right, right. I’m supposed to act like I don’t know if it’s right. So then you tell me that there is no right or wrong. It’s just the moment. And then I tell you that I can’t while actually signalling to you that I can, which you don’t need because you’re not really listening. Because this isn’t about connection for you. This isn’t even about sex for you. This is about finding an hour or two of relief from the pain of being you. And that’s fine with me, see, because all I want is the exact same thing.”

I just saw Love and Other Drugs yesterday and I liked it A LOT—though I think I generally have this tendency to fall in love with the entire movie even for just 1 or 2 scenes that stir something deep inside of me. Love and Other Drugs had those 1 or 2 scenes, the above being one of them. The movie already owned me with this scene.

But as a whole I think it was pretty good—effective screenplay, brilliant actors— and would definitely watch it again.
