Wow! Such a great movie.
Fantastic script based on a novel. Intelligent, engaging, funny, witty, and melancholic.
A well written tale about the complexity of modern relationships where a maladjusted man, with a disposition for solitude, has to come to terms with his troubles on building meaningful relationships.
Mad bonus points for that classy nude scene with Vera Farmiga. Just wow! (but maybe a body double?)
Life is better with company.

[first lines, after being informed by Ryan that they've been let go]
Terminated Employee: This is what I get in return for 30 years of service for my company? And they send some yo-yo like you in here to try to tell me that I'm out of a job? They should be telling you *you're* out of a job.
Terminated Employee: You have a lot of gall coming in here and firing your number one producer. And then you're going to go home tomorrow and make more money than you've ever made in your life, and I'm going to go home without a pay check. Fuck you.
Terminated Employee: I just... I guess you leave me dumbfounded. I don't know where this is coming from. How am I supposed to go back as a man and explain this to my wife that I lost my job?
Terminated Employee: On a street level, I've heard that losing your job is like a death in the family. But personally, I feel more like the people I worked with were my family and *I* died.
Terminated Employee: I can't afford to be unemployed. I have a house payment. I have children.
Terminated Employee: I don't know how you can live with yourself, but I'm sure that you'll find a way while the rest of us are suffering.
Terminated Employee Steve: [on the verge of tears] Who the fuck are you, man?
Ryan Bingham: [narrating] Excellent question. Who the fuck am I? Poor Steve has worked here for seven years. He's never had a meeting with me before, or passed me in the hall, or told me a story in the break room. And that's because I don't work here. I work for another company that lends me out to pussies like Steve's boss, who don't have the balls to sack their own employees, and in some cases, for good reason. Because people do crazy shit when they get fired.
Steve: Did I do something wrong? Is there something I can do differently?
Ryan Bingham: This is not an assessment of your productivity. Try not to take this personally. I want you to review this packet. Take it seriously. I think you'll find a lot of good answers in here. This is not an assessment of your productivity
Steve: [sarcastically] I'm sure this will be very helpful, a packet thank you.
Ryan Bingham: I need your key card I want you to take the day get together your personal things then tomorrow get yourself some exercise go out for a jog give your some routines and pretty soon you'll find your legs.
Steve: How do I get in touch with you?
Ryan Bingham: Don't worry we'll be in touch with you soon, this is just the beginning.
Ryan Bingham: [Narrating] I'll never see Steve again.

Flight Attendant: Do you want the can sir?
Ryan Bingham: The what?
Flight Attendant: Do you want the can sir?
Flight Attendant: [misunderstanding her] The cancer?
Flight Attendant: [showing him the actual beverage can] The can, sir?

Alex Goran: [talking about flown miles] I put up pretty pedestrian numbers. 60 thousand a year, domestic.
Ryan Bingham: That's not bad.
Alex Goran: Don't patronize me. What's your total?
Ryan Bingham: It's a personal question.
Alex Goran: Please.
Ryan Bingham: And we hardly know each other.
Alex Goran: Come on, show some hubris. Come on, impress me. I bet it's huge.
Ryan Bingham: You have no idea.
Alex Goran: How big? What is it, this big? This big?
Ryan Bingham: I don't want to brag.
Alex Goran: Oh, come on! Come on.
Ryan Bingham: Let's just say I have a number in mind and I haven't hit it yet.
Alex Goran: This is pretty fucking sexy.
Ryan Bingham: Hope it doesn't cheapen our relationship.
Alex Goran: We're two people who get turned on by elite status. I think cheap is our starting point.
Ryan Bingham: There's nothing cheap about loyalty.

Ryan Bingham: [Narrating] Every Family has a person who keeps the genealogy in check that's my sister Kara: the glue.

Ryan Bingham: What we do is brutal and it does leave people devastated there's a dignity to the way I do it.
Craig Gregory: Like stabbing them in the chest instead of the back?

Ryan Bingham: [to Natalie during a mock firing with Craig watching] Personally? This the most personal situation you'll going to enter, so before you try to "revolutionize" my business, I'd like to know you actually know my business.

Natalie: That's racist!
Ryan: I'm like my mother. I stereotype. It's faster.

Ryan Bingham: [sitting across the aisle from each other on a plane] Natalie, what is it you think we do here?
Natalie Keener: We prepare the newly unemployed for the emotional and physical hurdles of job hunting, while minimizing legal blow-back.
Ryan Bingham: That's what we're selling. It's not what we're doing.
Natalie Keener: Okay, what are we doing?
Ryan Bingham: We are here to make limbo tolerable, to ferry wounded souls across the river of dread until the point were hope is dimly visible. And then stop the boat, shove them in the water and make them swim.
Natalie Keener: [sarcastically] That's really impressive. Are you going to put that in your book?

Alex Goran: [over the phone] You never called.
Ryan Bingham: Well, I wasn't sure what was appropriate.
Alex Goran: Appropriate? Ryan, I'm not some waitress you banged in a snowstorm. That word has no place in our vocabulary. I am the woman that you don't have to worry about.
Ryan Bingham: Sounds like a trap.
Alex Goran: Listen, the next time that you're worried about manners, don't. If you want to call, call. Just think of me as yourself, only with a vagina.
Ryan Bingham: [with a changed mood and eagerly] When am I going to see you?

Terminated Employee: [after having been told by Ryan he has been laid off as Natalie listens] How do you sleep at night? How's your family? They sleeping well at night? Electricity still on? Heat still on? Refrigerator still full of food? Gas tank full of gas? Going to Chucky Cheese this weekend or something? Not me, me and my kids are not going to do anything.

Ryan Bingham: You know why kids love athletes?
Bob: Because they screw lingerie models.
Ryan Bingham: No, that's why we love athletes. Kids love athletes because they follow their dreams.

Natalie Keener: Is it a secret target?
Ryan Bingham: It's ten million miles.
Natalie Keener: Okay. Isn't ten million just a number?
Ryan Bingham: Pi's just a number.
Natalie Keener: Well, we all need a hobby. No, I- I- I don't mean to belittle your collection. I get it. It sounds cool.
Ryan Bingham: I'd be the seventh person to do it. More people have walked on the moon.
Natalie Keener: Do they throw you a parade?
Ryan Bingham: You get lifetime executive status. You get to meet the chief pilot, Maynard Finch.
Natalie Keener: Wow.
Ryan Bingham: And they put your name on the side of a plane.
Natalie Keener: Men get such hardons from putting their names on things. You guys don't grow up. It's like you need to pee on everything.
Ryan Bingham: Oh now, who's stereotyping?
Natalie Keener: Fear of mortality. It's like: yeah you're going to die one day.
Ryan Bingham: And why do you suppose that's singular to men?
Natalie Keener: Probably because you can't have babies
Ryan Bingham: The "baby argument"?

Natalie Keener: Commonly it takes one month of searching for every ten thousand dollars you earn in salary
Karen Barnes: So I could be looking for a while
Natalie Keener: Not necessarily
Karen Barnes: Don't even sweat it I'm pretty confident in my plans
Natalie Keener: Really?
Karen Barnes: Yeah there's this beautiful bridge by my house I'm going to jump off it

Alex Goran: [referring to Natalie's boyfriend] He broke up with you over text message?
Ryan Bingham: That's kind of like firing someone over the Internet.

Alex Goran: [talking to Natalie with sitting next to Ryan] We all fall for the pricks. Pricks are spontaneous, they're unpredictable and they're fun. And then we're surprised when they turn out to be pricks.

Alex Goran: You know, honestly by the time you're 34, all the physical requirements just go out the window. You secretly pray that he'll be taller than you, not an asshole would be nice just someone who enjoys my company, comes from a good family. You don't think about that when you're younger. Someone who wants kids, likes kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids. Please let him earn more money than I do, you might not understand that now but believe me, you will one day otherwise that's a recipe for disaster. And hopefully, some hair on his head. I mean, that's not even a deal breaker these days. A nice smile. Yea, a nice smile just might do it.
Natalie Keener: Wow. That was depressing.

Natalie Keener: Thinking of going to see her?
Ryan Bingham: We don't really have that kind of relationship [...]
Natalie Keener: What kind of relationship do you have?
Ryan Bingham: Well, you know, casual.
Natalie Keener: Sounds pretty special.
Ryan Bingham: It works for us.
Natalie Keener: Do you think there's a future there?
Ryan Bingham: I never really thought about it. What's going on here?
Natalie Keener: Really never thought about it?
Ryan Bingham: No
Natalie Keener: How can you not think about that? How does it even not cross your mind that you might want a future with someone?
Ryan Bingham: It's simple. You know that moment when you look into somebody's eyes and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world goes quiet just for a second?
Natalie Keener: Yes.
Ryan Bingham: [shrugs] Right. Well, I don't.
Natalie Keener: You're an asshole.
...
Natalie Keener: Don't you think it's worth giving her a chance?
Ryan Bingham: A chance at what?
Natalie Keener: A chance at something real
Ryan Bingham: Well, your definition of "real" is going to evolve as you get older.
Natalie Keener: Can you stop condescending for one second or is that one of the principles of your bullshit philosophy?
Ryan Bingham: Bullshit philosophy?
Natalie Keener: The isolation, the traveling, is that supposed to be charming?
Ryan Bingham: No, it's simply a life choice
Natalie Keener: It's a cocoon of self-banishment
Ryan Bingham: Wow big words
...
Natalie Keener: You have a set a way of life that basically makes it impossible for you to have any kind of human connection. And now this woman comes along and somehow runs the gauntlet of your ridiculous life choice and comes out on the other end smiling, just so you can call her "casual"? I need to grow up? You're a twelve year old.

Alex Goran: You want me to be your date?!
Ryan Bingham: Yeah
Alex Goran: At your sister's wedding?
Ryan Bingham: It's not like I know her that well. Look, I'm not the wedding type, right? But for the first time in my life I don't want to be the guy alone at the bar. I want a dance partner. I want a plus one. So if you can "stomach" it I'd like it to be you.

Ryan Bingham: What happened?
Kara Bingham: Jim's got cold feet.
Kara Bingham: Today?
Kara Bingham: Yeah that's how cold feet work.
Ryan Bingham: What do you want me to do?
Kara Bingham: Talk to him.
Ryan Bingham: You want me to talk to him?
Kara Bingham: It's either you or me and you know my track record I've already struck out once.
Ryan Bingham: I've never been up to bat, I haven't even been in the dug out.
Kara Bingham: Don't you talk for a living? Motivational king of stuff?
Ryan Bingham: I tell people how to avoid commitment.
Kara Bingham: What kind of fucked up message is that?
Ryan Bingham: It's a philosophy.
Kara Bingham: It's stupid.
Ryan Bingham: It could've helped you.
Kara Bingham: Ryan... You haven't been around much. Fuck, you basically don't exist to us. I know you want to be there for her. Well, here it is: this is your chance.

Ryan Bingham: [trying to convince Jim to marry Julie after he got cold feet as Kara watches through the window of the closed door] If you think about it, your favorite memories, the most important moments in your life... were you alone?
Jim Miller: No, I guess not.
Ryan Bingham: Hey, come to think of it, last night, the night before your wedding, when all this shit is swirling around in your head, weren't you guys sleeping in separate bedrooms?
Jim Miller: Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment, and I was just by myself in the honeymoon suite.
Ryan Bingham: Kind of lonely, huh?
Jim Miller: Yes, it was pretty lonely.
Ryan Bingham: Life's better with company.
Jim Miller: Yeah.
Ryan Bingham: Everybody needs a Co-Pilot.
Jim Miller: That was a nice touch.

Craig Gregory: Natalie quit
Ryan Bingham: She quit?
Craig Gregory: By text message. Fucking nice right? Nobody's got any manners anymore.
