PAT: (yelling) I just can”t believe Nikki”s teaching that book to the kids. I mean the whole time – let me just break it down for you – the whole time you”re rooting for this Hemingway guy to survive the war and to be with the woman that he loves, Catherine Barkley… and he does. He does. He survives the war, after getting blown up he survives it, and he escapes to Switzerland with Catherine. But now Catherine”s pregnant. Isn”t that wonderful? She”s pregnant. And they escape up into the mountains and they”re gonna be happy, and they”re gonna be drinking wine and they dance – they both like to dance with each other, there”s scenes of them dancing, which was boring, but I liked it, because they were happy. You think he ends it there? No! He writes another ending. She dies, Dad! I mean, the world”s hard enough as it is, guys. It”s f – hard enough as it is. Can”t somebody say, “Hey, let”s be positive? Let”s have a good ending to the story?” I”m not gonna apologize for this. You know what I will do?

Yeah, we wanna change each other, but that”s normal, couples wanna do that, I want her to stop dressing like she dresses, I want her to stop acting so superior to me, okay? And she wanted me to lose weight and stop my mood swings, both of which I”ve done. I mean, people fight. Couples fight. We would fight, we wouldn”t talk for a couple weeks. That”s normal.

TIFFANY: Yes. Do you feel that? That”s emotion. Has anybody ever told you how Tommy died? We were married for three years and five days, and I loved him. But for the last couple months, I just wasn”t into sex at all. It just felt like we were so different and I was depressed. Some of that is just me, some of it was he wanted me to have kids and I have a hard enough time taking care of myself. I don”t think that makes me a criminal. Anyway one night after dinner, he drove to Victoria”s Secret at King of Prussia Mall and got some lingerie to get something going. And on the way back, he stopped on 76 to help a guy with a flat tire and he got hit by a car and killed. And the Victoria”s Secret box was still in the front seat. (pause) That”s a feeling.More Monologues from “Silver Linings Playbook”RelatedShareTweetPin
