Frances Halladay quotes from Frances Ha (2013)

Frances Halladay

It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. That's - That's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.

Are you still undateable?

Frances

Oh yes, very undateable.

So what do you do?

Frances

Eh... It's kinda hard to explain.

Because what you do is complicated?

Frances

Eh... Because I don't really do it.

I'm poor.

Benji

That's offensive to actual poor people.

Frances

Do I look old to you?

Benji

No. Yes. How old?

Frances

Older than I am. Older than 27?

Benji

No. 27 is old, though.

Frances

I love you Sophie, even if you love your phone that has e-mail more than you love me.

Sophie

My phone that has e-mail doesn't leave a casserole dish in the sink for three days.

Just because you bought dinner doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep with you.

Frances

I'm not trying to sleep with you.

No, I was pretending to be a liberated woman.
