Catherine Stewart quotes from Chloe (2010)

Catherine Stewart

My husband's cheating on me. At least I think he is. I wanna find out. See what he does if you present yourself to him.

Catherine Stewart

I'm supposed to be happy you had your little midlife crisis fling?

Eliza

I’ve never had an orgasm.

Catherine Stewart

From intercourse?

Eliza

I’ve never had sex. [pause] I tried once. And then again. It hurt....I don’t think I’m normal. [pause] I just don’t like the whole...process.

Catherine Stewart

An orgasm is simply a series of muscle contractions. That’s it. It comes from manipulating the clitoris. Nothing mysterious, nothing magic about it. I’ll get you some literature to take home with you. You can get dressed.

Catherine Stewart

Did you find that waitress sexy?

Which one?

Catherine Stewart

The one you were flirting with.

Oh come on, I was being friendly.

Catherine Stewart

How do you do this?

Chloe

I try to find something to love in everybody. Even if it's a small thing. Something about the way someone smiles. There's always something, there has to be. I try to make myself generous. I do things I don't want to do. I... I think about what not to criticize. And the strangest things come back to me.

Catherine Stewart

Like?

Chloe

You.

Catherine Stewart

Me?

Chloe

Yeah. Yeah people like you walk into my life.

Catherine Stewart

You and I used to make love three times a day. Then every day. Then once a week. And then we had a child. We had life and work, we were best friends, and then I didn’t know how to go from your best friend to your lover.

You stopped touching me.

Catherine Stewart

I couldn't look at myself. I didn’t know who I was. I think I’m nineteen, and then I look in the mirror, and I’m this person who doesn't know how to seduce you.

Chloe

Hello Catherine.

Catherine Stewart

Where are you?

Chloe

I'm in your waiting room. Didn't you see me when you came in? [camera pans to Chloe, standing in the doorway]

Catherine Stewart

What do you want?!

Chloe

You thought you could buy me and I’d go away. Just hand me money and I’d run away and take care of myself.

Catherine Stewart

Please, get out of here.

What’s going on...?

Catherine Stewart

I don’t want you near my son. Do you understand?

Chloe

He’s not yours. None of us are. Your husband isn't yours. And I’m not yours either.

Catherine Stewart

Please leave me alone. I’m sorry I hurt you. You’re beautiful. You’re amazing. You really are...

Chloe

Then kiss me.
