Sam quotes from The Big Chill (1983)

Sam

So how's your life?

Karen

Oh, great. How's yours?

Sam

Not so great.

Karen

Ohhh, we're telling the truth.

Sam

Do you think we're all trying trying to avoid dealing with Alex? You know, every time it comes up somebody changes the subject.

Nick

Hey, it's a dead subject.

Michael

I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex.

Sam

Ah, come on. Nothing's more important than sex.

Michael

Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization?

Sam

Hey, Nick? You know, we go back a long way, and I'm not gonna piss that away 'cause you're higher than a kite.

Nick

Wrong, a long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time; you don't know anything about me. It was easy back then. No one had a cushier berth than we did. It's not surprising our friendship could survive that. It's only out there in the world that it gets tough.
