Mark quotes from The Conversation (1974)

Ann

I don't know what I'm gonna get him for Christmas yet. He's already got everything.

Mark

He doesn't need anything anymore.

Ann

Well, I haven't decided what I'm gonna get you yet.

Mark

Better start looking.

Ann

What about me?

Mark

You'll see.

Ann

A lot of fun you are. You're supposed to tease me, give me hints, make me guess, you know.

Mark

Does it bother you?

Ann

What?

Mark

Walking around in circles.

Ann

Oh look, that's terrible.

Mark

He's not hurting anyone.

Ann

Neither are we. Oh God. Every time I see one of those old guys, I-I always think the same thing.

Mark

What do you think?

Ann

I always think that he was once somebody's baby boy...and he had a mother and a father who loved him. And now, there he is, half-dead on a park bench and where is his mother or his father or his uncles now? Anyway, that's what I always think.

Mark

I always think of how when they had the newspaper strike in New York, more of those old guys died. Fifty of them frozen died in one night.

Ann

Just because there were no newspapers?

Mark

Really.

Ann

Do you think we can do this?

Mark

I'm tired of drinking anyhow...I'm tired of mostly everything.

Ann

Tired of me?

Mark

Tired of you, but not today.

Ann

I love you.

Mark

We're spending too much time together here.

Ann

No, let's stay just a little longer.

Mark

He'd kill us if he got the chance.
