Max
Why isn't the issue here who I am?
Because, Maxwell, what you do defines who you are.
Max
No, Uncle Teddy, who you are defines what you do, right Jude?
Jude
Surely it's not what you do, but it's the...the way that you do it.
Jude
My god you... you have perfect teeth. No, no. You do -- they're perfect. You know, people in Liverpool only seldom do. They stick out in all different directions. It's horrible.
Lucy
Haven't you ever heard of braces?
Jude
Yes I have, thank you very much. We use them to keep our trousers up.
Jude
What are you going to do if you don't go back to college?
Max
What any irresponsible, unmotivated, drop-out would do. Go to New York, like tonight.
Sadie
Where'd she come from?
Jude
She came in through the bathroom window.
Lucy
I would gladly lay in front of a tank if it would bring back Max and end this war.
Jude
Yeah? well it wouldn't.
Lucy
We're in the middle of a revolution Jude. And what are you doing? Doodles and cartoons?
Jude
Well I'm sorry I'm not the man with the mega-phone, but this is what I do.
Max's Father: Goddammit, Max! Get serious, for once! What are you going to DO with your life?
Max
Why is it always what will I do? "What will he do", "What will he do," "Oh, my god what will he do", Do, do, do, do, do. Why isn't the issue here who I am?
Because, Maxwell, what you do defines who you are.
Max
No, Uncle Teddy, who you are defines what you do, right Jude?
Jude
Surely it's not what you do, but it's the...the way that you do it.
Max
So that's how it is?
Jude
Yeah. That's how it is.
Max
Well, speaking as a brother, I think she could do better.
Lucy
Max? Get out!
Max
Well I'm sorry, but, as blissful as you are in the throes of young love, I'm just letting you know I have a date with Uncle Sam.
Jude
Where are we going?
Lucy
Out of our minds!
Jude
Where are you taking me?
Lucy
Down the rabbit hole!
Jude
But I wanted to feed the cows!
