Quotes From Whatever Works?:
Boris Yellnikoff: That's why I can't say enough
times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever
happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary
measure of grace, whatever works.
Marietta: How'd he get that limp?
Melodie St. Ann Celestine: He jumped out the window
and his suicide didn't work.
Marietta: You can't win 'em all.
Boris Yellnikoff: I happen to hate New Year's celebrations.
Everybody desperate to have fun. Trying to celebrate
in some pathetic little way. Celebrate what? A step
closer to the grave? That's why I can't say enough
times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever
happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary
measure of grace, whatever works. And don't kid yourself.
Because its by no means up to your own human ingenuity.
A bigger part of your existence is luck, than you'd
like to admit. Christ, you know the odds of your fathers
one sperm from the billions, finding the single egg
that made you. Don't think about it, you'll have a
panic attack.
Melodie St. Ann Celestine: Boris, what are you doing?
Who're you talking to?
Boris Yellnikoff: What? There's people out there watching
us!
Helena: What?
Marietta: Out there?
Boris Yellnikoff: Yeah, they're watching... well,
there was when we started. I don't know how many are
left.
Melodie St. Ann Celestine: Does anybody see anybody
out there?
Marietta: Out there? No!
Melodie St. Ann Celestine: Oh Boris...
Boris Yellnikoff: See? I'm the only one that sees
the whole picture. That's what they mean by genius.
