Black Swan

Nina: I came to ask for the part. Thomas: The truth is when I look at you all I see is the white swan. Yes you're beautiful, fearful, and fragile. Ideal casting. But the black swan? It's a hard fucking job to dance both. Nina: I can dance the black swan, too. Thomas: Really? In 4 years every time you dance I see you obsessed getting each and every move perfectly right but I never see you lose yourself. Ever! All that discipline for what? Nina: [whispers] I just want to be perfect. Thomas: What? Nina: I want to be perfect. Thomas: [scoffs] Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence! Very few have it in them. Nina: I think I do have it in me.

Nina: Beth! I'm so sorry to hear you're leaving the company. Beth: What did you do to get this role? [about Thomas] He always said you were such a frigid little girl. What did you do to change his mind? Did you suck his cock? Nina: Not all of us have to. Beth: [chuckles] You fucking whore! You're a fucking little whore!

Erica: [about Thomas] Has he tried anything with you? He has a reputation. I have a right to be concerned, Nina. You've been staying late so many nights rehearsing. I hope he isn't taking advantage. Nina: He's not. Erica: Good. I just don't want you to make the same mistake I did. Nina: Thanks. Erica: Not like that. I just mean as far as my career was concerned. Nina: What career? Erica: The one I gave up to have you. Nina: You were 28 and only in... [stops herself] Erica: Only in what? Nina: Nothing. Erica: What? Nina: Nothing.

Thomas: You could be brilliant, but you're a coward. Nina: I'm sorry. Thomas: [yelling] Now stop saying that! That's exactly what I'm talking about. Stop being so fucking weak!

Lily: [about Beth] I can't believe he calls her that. It's so gross. Nina: I think it's sweet. Lily: Little princess? He probably calls every girl that. Nina: No way! That's just for Beth. Lily: I bet he'll be calling you little princess any day now. Nina: I don't know about that. Lily: Sure he will. You just got to let him lick your pussy.

Nina: You put something in my drink. Lily: Yeah. Nina: And then you just took off in the morning? Lily: In the morning? Nina: Yeah, you slept over. Lily: Um, no. Unless your name is Tom and you got a dick. Nina: But we. Lily: But we what, Nina? [pauses] Wait, did you have some sort of lezzy wet dream about me? Nina: [whispers] Stop it. Lily: Oh my God. Oh my God! You did! You fantasized about me! Nina: Shut up! Lily: [gasps] Was I good?
