Some of us have
great stories... pretty stories
that take place at lakes with
boats and friends and noodle
salad. Just not anybody in this
car. But lots of people -- that's
their story -- good times and
noodle salad... and that's what
makes it hard. Not that you had
it bad but being that pissed that
so many had it good.
- Melvin Udall (As Good As It Gets)
In an extremely well written and beautiful movie, that is the line that reaches me the most. Happy people with happy stories and the jealous onlookers.
"As good at it gets" is on HBO. Again. Probably for the 400th time. But I will watch it everytime I can, because it tells the truth about love. Love is hard. And you don't have to be obsessive compulsive, a broke waitress or a gay artist to know that.
If you are script obsessed as I am, you can read the full script to this wonderful film here.
