精彩对白：

Tulsi: It is most commendable that you ended your marriage. You seem like such a happy, free person now.

Liz: I think my ex-husband would describe me as selfish.

Tulsi: You mustn't be angry with yourself or disappointed. You don't have to make children or be married to have a family.

Richard: Oh, man. They got mosquitoes here big enough...to stand flat-footed and screw a chicken. I love you.

Tulsi: Liz, have you met...Richard from Texas?

Liz: Hello, Richard from Texas.

Richard: Nice to meet you, Groceries.

Liz: Groceries?

Richard: Yeah. Yeah, I heard you eating before I saw you. I never seen anybody eat so much at one time. You sure do enjoy your groceries.

Liz: You know, it's been a rough day, and if no one takes it personally...I'm going to take my large meal someplace else to eat it in silence.

Tulsi: Oh, no, stay. I'm done.

Richard: Looked like you were working through some...pretty rough stuff this morning. Stuff with your ex-husband? I got an ex-wife. She thinks l changed my name to "Motherfucker."

Liz: I-- I just spent some time in Rome and I came here feeling so great. And now here l am, at the source...and l feel more disconnected than ever.

Richard: Why'd you come here?

Liz: I just want some peace.

Richard: Peace? You wanna get to the castle, Groceries...you got to swim the moat. Here, you can finish that. I know you can.

Liz: Okay. Simply empty your mind. Breathe. What am I going to do when this year is over? Where am I going to live? Well, maybe Chicago. Oh, my God. I could build a meditation room-- No. Stop thinking. Why is this so hard? Screw you, Corella. How the hell does she do this? She looks like frigging Mother Teresa. Oh, my God, kill me.

Richard: Who's in the moat today?

Liz: Shut up.

Richard: Sounds like you wrestled some big-ass crocs.

Liz: You know what? lf you're so goddamn smart, what are you doing here?

Richard: If you're here, it makes you smart already. Do you wanna talk about what--?

Liz: No, not to you. Thank you.

Richard: I'm the only one here. You're gonna talk about it sooner or later.

Liz: I cannot focus in there. All I think about is my meditation room and how to decorate.

Richard: Are you shitting me?

Liz: Are you kidding me?

Richard: The meditation room is within, Groceries. Decorate that.

Liz: Do you always talk in bumper sticker?

Richard: I do, and here's another one. You have to learn to select your thoughts the way you select...your clothes every day. That's a power you can cultivate. You wanna come here and control your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should control. If you can't master your thoughts, you're in trouble.

Liz: I am trying.

Richard: Yeah, hello, that's the damn problem. Stop trying. Surrender. Go out into the garden and just sit there and still your mind...and you watch what happens. Why don't you just let it be? 

Liz: Has anyone ever told you you look like James Taylor?

Richard: Every day.

Liz: God, he really does.
