Silver Linings Playbook quotes

Page 1 of 2

Listen, I haven't dated since before my marriage so I don't really remember how this works.

Pat

How what works?

I saw the way you were looking at me, Pat. You felt it, I felt it, don't lie. We're not liars like they are. I live in the addition around back, which is completely separate from my parents' house, so there's no chance of them walking in on us. I hate the fact that you wore a football jersey to dinner because I hate football, but you can **** me if you turn the lights off, okay?

Jake

I'm worried about the bet.

Pat Sr.

Don't worry about the bet.

Jake

I'm worried about the bet.

Officer Keogh

Hey, is he messing with you?

No, no, no, this was just a joke. This is a joke I started.

Officer Keogh

There's a restraining order on this guy.

I know! I have a stupid sense of humor.

Officer Keogh

That's not a good thing to do.

Well, I'm **** up. What can I tell you? I'm sorry.

Officer Keogh

You're Tommy's widow right?

Yes, I'm Tommy's crazy, whore widow, minus the whore thing for the most part.

Officer Keogh

You're a funny girl. You wanna get a drink sometime?

Officer Keogh
[Tiffany just walks away] [to Pat]

What'd I say?

Pat

She doesn't, she doesn't do that anymore.

Pat

So what are you doing with yourself?

Pat Sr.

You know, I'm gonna start a restaurant. It's gonna be a cheesesteak place.

Pat

How you gonna pay for it?

Pat Sr.

I'm gonna pay for it, don't worry about it.

Pat

From your bookmaking?

Pat Sr.

Who told you that?

Pat

Mom told me. Outside.

Dolores

I did not. No, I didn't.

Pat

You just told me outside, Mom, what are you talking about? Five minutes ago, we were walking up the stairs, you said, "Don't say anything, but Dad lost his job and he's bookmaking."

Pat

Where's Tiffany?

Pat Sr.

She left.

Pat

What do you mean, she left?

Pat Sr.

She left. What do you expect?

Pat

Where is she?

Pat Sr.

Let me tell you, I know you don't wanna to listen to your father, I didn't listen to mine, and I'm telling you, you gotta pay attention to the signs. When life reaches out with a moment like this, it's a sin if you don't reach back. I'm telling you, it's a sin if you don't reach - reach back, and it'll haunt you the rest of your days like a curse. You're facing a big challenge in your life right now at this very moment, right here. That girl loves you, she really, really loves you. And I don't know if Nikki ever did, but she sure as hell doesn't love you right now. I'm telling you, don't **** this up.

Pat
[Pat embraces Pat Sr.]

I love you, Dad.
[Pat kisses him on the cheek and runs out.]

Pat

You have poor social skills. You have a problem.

I have a problem? You say more inappropriate things than appropriate things. You scare people.

Pat

I tell the truth — you're mean.

Hey, Tiffany! This is Pat.

Hi.

Pat, my sister-in-law Tiffany.

Pat

You look nice.

Thank you.

Pat

Oh, I'm not flirting with you.

Oh, I didn't think you were.

Pat

I just see that you made an effort and I'm gonna be better with my wife, I'm working on that. I wanna acknowledge her beauty. I never used to do that. I do that now. 'Cause we're gonna be better than ever...Nikki. Just practicing. How'd Tommy die?

You gotta come see the baby. She's beautiful. And Veronica wants to make dinner for you.

Pat

Congratulations on the baby, but I'm not buying the invitation.

'Cause you think Veronica still hates you.

Pat

I know Veronica still hates me.

It's not true.

Pat

Yes, it is. Nikki always said that Ronnie's wife keeps her social calendar where she keeps his balls, in her purse.

That's not true.

Veronica

Ronnie! What are you doing?

Okay, it's a little true. But if you think she still hates you, you're wrong because why would she tell me to invite you to dinner? Hmm?

Veronica

Did you invite him?

Yes.

Veronica

Well, can he make it?

I don't know yet! [to Pat] Can you make it next Sunday?

[tearfully]

What the ****?

Veronica

Sweetie, sweetie. Honey, calm down.

You're killing me. You're killing me!

Veronica

Tiffany, please. She'll see how well he's doing, maybe she'll lift the restraining order.

Oh, my God.

Pat told me.

Oh, my God.

He told me you should never throw a marriage out the window.

[tearfully]

He did not say that.

Yes.

He didn't say that.

He said it several times, Tiffany. And it's his chance. You gotta give him a chance.

[upset]

Would you just leave me alone?!

Pat

Wait a second!

Please!

Pat
[He pulls a letter out.]

I've one more letter for you to read, okay?

[yelling]

What the **** is the matter with you? Give it to her yourself!

Pat

Hey, let me say something. You don't ever have to see me again if you just read it, all right?

This is so **** up.

Pat

Yeah, just read it.

[Tiffany unfolds the letter.] [reading]

"Dear Tiffany...

[She stops, surprised it is addressed to her.]

"I know you wrote the letter. [Long pause.] The only way you could meet my crazy..."

Pat
[reciting]

"... was by doing something crazy yourself. Thank you. I love you. I knew it the minute I met you. I'm sorry it took so long for me to catch up. I just got stuck. Pat." I wrote that a week ago.

You wrote that a week ago?

Pat

Yes, I did.

You let me lie to you for a week?

Pat

I was trying to be romantic.

You love me?

Pat

Yeah, I do.

Okay.
[She leans forward and kisses him.]

Hey!

Pat

What the ****? I'm married!

So am I!

Pat

What the **** are you doing, your husband's dead!

Where's your wife?

Pat

You're crazy!

I'm not the one who just got out of that hospital in Baltimore.

Pat

And I'm not the big slut!... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry.

I was a big slut, but I'm not any more. There's always going to be a part of me that's sloppy and dirty, but I like that. With all the other parts of myself. Can you say the same about yourself ****er? Can you forgive? Are you any good at that?

Why did you order Raisin Bran?

Pat

Why did you order tea?

[She eats cereal.] [chewing]

Because you ordered Raisin Bran.

Pat

I ordered Raisin Bran because I didn't want any mistaking it for a date.

[chewing]

It can still be a date if you order Raisin Bran.

Pat

It's not a date. So how's your thing going -- dancing thing?

It's good. How's your restraining order?

You know, I used to think that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, but now I think that you might maybe be the worst thing and I'm sorry that I ever met you.

Pat

Good for you. Come on, let's dance.

[to Dr. Cliff Patel]

This is what I believe to be true. This is what I learned in the hospital. You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.
