Isn’t the ending a tragedy?

To quote the wife of the Parkinson's patient:

"I suggest you go upstairs to clean up,
and then write a note
to find a healthy woman.
I love my wife,
but if I can do it again, I won't do it.
No one will tell you.
This disease will steal everything that you love her,
her body, smile and memory,
sooner or later she will lose all mobility, and
finally she can’t even dress herself
and then becomes more interesting.
Clear her excrement.
Cold face, dementia. The disease
is not a disease, it is just a Soviet novel. "

The ending is like a fairy tale, and it cannot conceal the paleness of reality...

    The structure is very loose, and the front and back are written like two screenwriters. The old actor George Siegel has a minute and a half of the scene in four or five minutes.

Love & Other Drugs quotes

  • Jamie Randall: Hey, Lisa.

    Bruce Winston: Her name's not Lisa.

    Jamie Randall: I know. I know. But, if everytime I say "Hey, Lisa", then eventually she'll come up to me and she'll be like, you know, "My name's not Lisa it's... Jennifer"... whatever, and I'll do a big apology and I'll say, "I thought you were the Lisa who was mad at me for not calling". And, from then on Jennifer, or whatever her name is, will think that I dated a girl who looked just like her... who I rejected. She'll develop this unconscious need to win my approval and from then on, it's cake.

    Bruce Winston: Damn!

  • Josh Randall: What do you say we blow this joint and then each other?
