The monologue from the final part

The unknown. It's what supports the tension of a relationship and forces us to be the best version of ourselves.

The what-if factor. What if there's someone who loved him better? Who's smarter, nicer? Who woke him up everyday with breakfast and a blowjob. What if I'm not the best girlfriend he's ever had? What if he dreams someone else ? Better conversations, a girl with hips and an actual ass instead of this string bean body? So that every single day when i get up, and i talked to you, and i wear this fancy fucking dress, and i hold your hand. i 'm trying to be the best girlfriend you have ever had.

So when you tell me that who I'm against is Kiki from St. Louis, in a heart-shaped bathtub, it makes me give a lot less of a fuck.

The reason you don't get jealous is because you dont value that mystery, do you? It's inconceivable to you that there's anybody on this planet that is more interesting than you are. Your lack of curiosity is merely an extension of your narcissism, your megalomania, your egotistical view of the world. As a result of never doubting yourself, you never stopped to ask yourself, “how can i be a better partner?”

You are good. You are set. You yelling at me in a bathtub about how you're gonna snap me like a twig, is the best and the worst of who you will be in this relationship. And that's why you forgot to thank me in the speech.

Did you really understand all parts of me?

LOL

Malcolm & Marie quotes

  • [Marie walks into the room with a knife]

    Malcolm: Marie, what are you doing? Put the knife down, please. Marie?

    [she kneels down in front of him and plays with the knife]

    Marie: Do you remember those antidepressants I was on? I'm not on them anymore. I'm not doing well. I'm really, really not doing well. I've never been clean. And I don't plan on getting clean. I'm a piece of shit. I'm a liar. I cheated on you. I fucked your friends

    [she laughs]

    Marie: I fucked your friends. God, I feel like I'm crazy. I've stolen from your mother. And you know what the fucked up thing is? I don't even care. I don't mind. Because I deserve it. Tell me where the fucking pills are. Tell me where the pills are.

    [Malcolm struggles to answer, Marie puts the knife down and acts like herself again]

    Marie: And that, Malcolm, is what authenticity buys you.

    [she flips him off with both hands as she leaves the room]

    Malcolm: Well, damn! Why didn't you do that in the audition?

  • Marie: You know, life is gonna get easier, but it's also gonna get harder.

    Malcolm: What do you mean?

    Marie: Just don't believe the hype, Malcolm. And don't push away the people who ground you.
