Melinda and Melinda

Melinda and Melinda is a 2004 comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen.

• Life has a malicious way of dealing with great potential.

• You know, life is manageable enough if you keep your hopes modest. The minute you allow yourself sweet dreams you run the risk of them crashing down.

• They still talk about my portrayal of King Lear. I played it with a limp.
• Did I tell you I played Uncle Vanya once? With a limp. It was interesting.
• Excuse the mess. My cleaning woman just won $60 million, so I gave her the night off.

Melinda: Uh I've been having a bad time so I just took some sleeping pills.

Hobie: Sleeping pills? How many?

Melinda: Uh... 28.

Susan: Oh my God! Hobie, make some black coffee.

Melinda: No, I'm allergic to coffee, but do you have any vodka?

Susan: You look a little carsick.

Hobie: Why, 'cause I'm the color of guacamole?

Susan: I wish we could afford a place in the Hamptons. Everybody who's anybody has one.

Hobie: Yeah, but if you're somebody who's nobody, it's no fun to be around anybody who's everybody.

Hobie: We used to make love all the time and now, there's always an excuse.

Susan: I told you, I'm going through an emotionally difficult time creatively.

Hobie: You feel like we don't communicate anymore?

Susan: Of course we communicate. Now can we not talk about it anymore?

Walt: Maybe you should go back to your shrink. Discuss it.

Hobie: He just recommended Prozac. I think he has stock in the company, honestly.

Melinda: You're the piano player.

Ellis: Not anymore. I'm on a break. A mysterious stranger has, uh, temporarily taken over, and I must say she plays beautifully. Hey, are your eyes misting over?

Melinda: The song... it's meaningful to me. It was playing the night I met someone.

Ellis: So, are they tears of sorrow or tears of joy?

Melinda: Well, aren't they the same tears?

Ellis: Yeah.

Hobie: I think it'd be only fair to tell you. I'm a Liberal.

Stacey: Oh. Are you talking politically, or in the bedroom?

Hobie: I was talking politically. In the bedroom I'm a left-wing Liberal.

Hobie: It's funny, a grown woman outside a door listening in.

Melinda: Oh, by the way, I found a scrap of your pajamas in my door.

Hobie: [sheepishly] Oh...really? You found that. I'll have to tell my laundress.

Melinda: You don't have a laundress.

Hobie: Well, marry me, and we'll get a laundress.
