Before you have a kid, everyone tells you, "It's the best thing you'll ever do." And as soon as you get the baby back from the hospital, those same people are like, "Don't worry, it gets better."
Fletcher Dialogue
Josh: For the first time in my life I've stopped thinking of myself as a child imitating an adult. Cornelia: You feel that way too?
Dialogue
Josh: I like our life as it is. Cornelia: Yeah. I mean if we wanted to take off to Paris tomorrow we could. Josh: If we're gonna do it, we should plan it with at least a month in advance. Cornelia: A month is still in the realm of spontaneity.
Dialogue
Jamie: I really loved your film. That scene with the dogs around the garbage. How did you stage that? Josh: I said 'Hey, shoot those dogs'.
Dialogue
Cornelia: I wish you'd look at me the way you look at Jamie and Darby. When we first met, you wooed me with romantic e-mails. Josh: It wouldn't make sense for me to send you e-mails now that we're in the same room all the time.
Dialogue

Dialogue
Cornelia: We've got this Ayahuasca ceremony this weekend with Jamie and Darby. Marina: What's an Ayahuasca ceremony? Cornelia: You drink this sludgy liquid and you hallucinate and vomit up your demons. Marina: Okay. Well, we're just having a cookout and maybe playing charades.
Dialogue
Josh: Let's have kids. Cornelia: I don't want this to be 'Every time you take a hallucinogen you want to have a baby'. Josh: Not every time.
Dialogue
Tim: Why is it that when one person picks up their phone, everybody else has to? Cornelia: I just have a quick thing... Tim: Each of us is so certain that we've got the most important thing to do right now. Cornelia: [still using her phone] I know, it's so rude.
Dialogue
Josh: You know, fuck you. Cornelia: Fuck you. Don't talk to me like that. Josh: I'm saying "fuck you" the way Jamie and Darby say it, where it's not a real "fuck you," it's a semi-playful "fuck you." Cornelia: We're not Jamie and Darby. We don't talk to each other that way. If you say "fuck you" to me, it feels like a real "fuck you." Josh: It is real. Cornelia: Fuck you. And not semi-playfully either. Josh: Fuck you. Total, real, cutting-to-the-core, fuck you.
