You never gave me the time of day until I started getting good reviews.
Your reviews aren't that good.

The Royal Tenenbaums quotes
Page 2 of 8How's Richie?
I don't know. I can't tell.
Yeah, me neither. He wrote me a letter. He says he's in love with you.
What are you talking about?
That's what he said. I don't know how we're supposed to take it.
I always wanted to be a Tenenbaum.
Me too, me too.
I did find it odd when you said you were in love with her. She's married you know.
Yeah.
And she's your sister.
Adopted.
I need help...
Me, too.
I wish you'd've done this for me when I was a kid.
But you didn't have a drug problem then.
Yeah, but it still would've meant a lot to me.
I'm not in love with you any more.
I didn't ever know that you were.
Let's not make this any more difficult than it already is.
I'm very sorry, Margot.
It's okay. We're not actually related anyway.
True.
What'd you say?
Hmm? I didn't say anything.
When? Right now?
You never even gave me the time of day till I started getting good reviews.
Your reviews weren't that good.
But the sales are.
How long have you been a smoker?
Twenty-two years.
Well, I think you should quit.
You probably don't even know my middle name.
That's a trick question. You don't have one.
Helen.
That was my mother's name.
I know it was.
Why'd you do it? Because of me?
Yeah. But it's not your fault.
You don't love me anymore, do you?
I do, kind of. I can't explain it right now.
Are you ever coming home?
Maybe not.
Well, I wanna die.

I'm not colorblind, am I?
