[first lines]

Rachel Biegler: Remember what Marty said?

Richard Grimes: Ugh.

Rachel Biegler: "Having a baby is an immoral act."

Richard Grimes: Marty's an idiot.
Dr. Dordick: [comparing semen to soda] So, the seltzer comes from one place, the syrup comes from someplace else, and, together they make Mountain Dew, or Diet Coke, or what have you. But, if the pipe gets clogged, you don't get Mountain Dew. You just get seltzer.
Sadie: Oh, my God, look at us. We're like an ad for assholes.

Rachel Biegler: You mean we're assholes, or we're part of an ad that's targeted to assholes?

Sadie: No, it's just that whole... people with cappuccinos in their lofts, with their laptops, dogs, with messy hair. You know, that whole fantasy. It's not your fault. You guys are authentic and real, you've just been co-opted by cultural mechanisms that create desirability. I took a media and consumer society course. It was pretty life-altering.
Sadie: God, my mom went on this jag where she got rid of, like, everything in her closet that was even remotely form-fitting, and now it's just like cowl necks, and tunics, and draw strings, and shawls, that whole Eileen Fisher thing. It's like she doesn't even have a body anymore, she's just drowning inside all this fabric and erased all sexuality from her being. It's like she's been spayed.
Richard Grimes: [to young trick-or-treaters] Sorry about the environment!
Dr. Dordick: Alright, let's get pregnant, shall we?
Richard Grimes: Actually, we wanted to ask you about your eggs.

Sadie: Scrambled is good, but however you guys do them is fine with me.
Sadie: Look, I get my period every month and I flush an egg down the toilet. Why not give some to Richard and Rachel? What could be more meaningful than *me* giving two people that I love who are desperate to start a family the gift of life?
Sadie: You don't have to look at that tonight.

Richard Grimes: No... hey! It's our anniversary. At least I can read about fellatio.

What a great movie viewing experience, this kind of New York comedy, I really can't get tired of watching many movies. The couple, who are engaged in literary and artistic careers, do have some reflections on the director's own life, and the title of the film's private life can also be understood as the director's personal story mixed with it. Many of the empty shots and transition shots are used very well. While being funny and humorous, it also reminds the audience that the essence of life is still full of failures and frustrations, but there is always a little sweetness that keeps us going. ((((No matter what lies ahead and the future, I choose to sit on your side

The most private is magnified into the daily life of public scorn. It is obviously destroyed, but it is disguised as a light-hearted sketch that everyone can participate in. This kind of retrospect of life is very advanced. The musical performance of the surgery was extremely ironic.
