The Sessions quotes

  • Mark O'Brien: What happens when...?

    Cheryl: What happens when what?

    Mark O'Brien: When people become attached to each other.

    Cheryl: What people?

    Mark O'Brien: Just people.

    Mark O'Brien: What's the chemistry in it all? When people are attracted to each other.

    Cheryl: Are you attracted to me?

    Mark O'Brien: God, no.

    Cheryl: Ha-ha-ha.

    Mark O'Brien: I'm just talking hypothetically.

    Cheryl: Hypothetically... they write poems. They have sex.

    Mark O'Brien: And what happens next?

    Cheryl: After poetry and sex? Nothing or everything. The rest is by negotiation, as it were.

    Mark O'Brien: What do you mean?

    Cheryl: I mean, you can leave it at love and attraction... or you can make things complicated, like most people do.

    Mark O'Brien: Have you?

    Cheryl: Yes.

  • Cheryl: Hi Mark O'Brien!

    Mark O'Brien: Your money is on the desk over there.

    Cheryl: Yes it is! Thank you!

    Mark O'Brien: I didn't know whether to pay you now or after.

    Cheryl: I'm not a prostitute, so you don't have to pay me up front.

    Mark O'Brien: That was the wrong way to start off.

    Cheryl: It really was! Shall we start again?
