Quotes 

• Dr. Sterling : Have you had any drugs in the last 24 hours?

  Elizabeth : No. Well, I guess I snorted some coke and smoked some pot but, uh, you know, that was just to make the ecstasy last longer.

  Dr. Sterling : You sure you're not forgetting anything?

  Elizabeth : Maybe a few beers?

  Dr. Sterling : Did you ever think you might have a substance abuse problem?

  Elizabeth : The only substance problem I have right now is that I need you to get me some tranq so I can come down off this fucking coke.

  Dr. Sterling : And then what happens?

• Elizabeth : I just keep thinking that, if I could just be normal, you know, if I could just get out of bed in the morning, everything would be OK.

  Dr. Sterling : OK, well, what do you think normal is?

  Elizabeth : Most people, you know, they cut themselves, they put a band aid on, they keep going.

  Dr. Sterling : And what do you do?

  Elizabeth : I just keep bleeding.

  Dr. Sterling : So you think that being normal is having a wound, putting a patch on it and then just go on with your life?

  Elizabeth : Isn't that what functioning is? Isn't that what living is? You know, you keep going no matter what happens to you.

  Dr. Sterling : Is that the way you want to live?

• Elizabeth : So, I guess this is the Freud part where I don't say anything and then you don't say anything... All of a sudden it's "Obviously you vish to sleep with your father".

  Dr. Sterling : So I'm to take it you don't wish to sleep with your father?

• Elizabeth : I feel so stupid sitting in therapy. A lot of people had much harder childhoods than mine.

  Dr. Sterling : We're not talking about other people. We're talking about you.

  Elizabeth : [narrating]  I'll give her that much, I'm the problem.
