Nemo Nobody quotes from Mr. Nobody (2009)

Nemo Nobody

Why am I me and not somebody else?

Nemo Nobody

You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible.

Nemo Nobody

Sometimes people call me Mr. Craft. C-R-A-F-T. Can't Remember A **** Thing.

Nemo Nobody

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid I haven't been alive enough. It should be written on every school room blackboard; 'life is a playground or nothing.'

Nemo Nobody

I always liked fish. I never thought that one day they would like me too. [narrating while in his car underwater]

Nemo Nobody

Urgh, you're still here? Did I fall asleep? Sometimes I don't sleep so I think... I think about how it was... and all I have left. What do you see when you look at me? A grumpy old man who never answers questions? Who mixes everything up? Who's kept busy by getting his meals? That's not me. Me... I wear shorts. I'm nine years old. I can run faster than the train. I can't feel my aching back anymore. I'm fifteen. I'm fifteen and I'm in love.

Nemo Nobody

If you mix the mashed potatoes and sauce, you can't separate them later. It's forever. The smoke comes out of Daddy's cigarette, but it never goes back in. We cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible.

Nemo Nobody

Before, he was unable to make a choice because he didn't know what would happen. Now that he knows what will happen, he is unable to make a choice.

Nemo, do I matter to you? I'd just like to ask you one question. Did you do it on purpose? I found this on the bedside table. [reads note] There comes a time in life where everything seems narrow. Choices have been made. I can only continue on. I know myself like the back of my hand. I can predict my every reaction. My life has been cast in cement with airbags and seatbelts. I've done everything to reach this point and now that I'm here, I'm **** bored. The hardest thing is knowing whether I'm still alive.

It is my handwriting. I don't remember.

Anna!

Nemo... how have you been?

I'm fine, how are you?

Yeah, good.

Are they your kids?

Yeah... [awkward silence] Well, see you around.

Yeah, uh... See you around.

What on earth made me say I don't go swimming with idiots?

I'm gonna be a little late.

It's okay, don't worry.

I love you.

I love you more.

Me more.

Me more.

Okay.

Cheater!

What are you doing today?

I was thinking about taking the opportunity to wash the car.

What's the deal with that car?

What do you mean?

Why do you take such good care of that car while you leave me here all alone? What's the problem with the car?

There's no more problem with the car.

What's wrong?

I was dreaming about Stefano. He doesn't give a damn about me. I love him. There can't be any other explanation for being in this state. I don't know what it could be. I'm not happy. I'm going crazy. Every morning when I wake up, I rub my eyes and I see your face and I start crying. I realise that my life is passing me by. How can you stay so calm? How can you be like that? You're not human! I don't know what to do! It's not my fault, right? You're not gonna leave me, are you?

No no no, I love you!

I hurt everybody! I hurt you, the children... this can't go on.

Together we can do it.

Then you're all gonna end up drowning with me.

We'll learn to swim. I love you.

I love you.

I love you...
