A scene from Donnie Darko 2001
Donnie

Ling Ling finds a wallet on the ground filled with money. She takes the wallet to the address on the driver's license but keeps the money inside the wallet. <Scoffs> I-'m sorry Mrs. Farmer. I don't get this.

Kitty Farmer

Just place an X on the Life Line in the appropriate place.

Donnie

No, I mean I know what to do, I just don't get this. You can't just lump things into two categories. Things aren't that simple.

Kitty

The Life Line is divided that way.

Donnie

Life isn't that simple. I mean who cares if Ling Ling returns the wallet and keeps the money? It has nothing to do with either fear or love.

Kitty

Fear and love are the deepest of human emotions.

Donnie

Okay. But you're not listening to me. There are other things that need to be taken into account. Like the whole spectrum of human emotion. You can't just lump everything into these two categories and then just deny everything else.

Kitty

If you don't complete the assignment you'll get a zero for the day.
