For the first time in my life I've stopped thinking of myself as a child imitating an adult.

Cornelia

You feel that way too?

I like our life as it is.

Cornelia

Yeah. I mean if we wanted to take off to Paris tomorrow we could.

If we're gonna do it, we should plan it with at least a month in advance.

Cornelia

A month is still in the realm of spontaneity.

Cornelia

I wish you'd look at me the way you look at Jamie and Darby. When we first met, you wooed me with romantic e-mails.

It wouldn't make sense for me to send you e-mails now that we're in the same room all the time.

Cornelia

My dad likes saying, "The more, the more."

That's because your dad has everything and then he gets more.

Cornelia

We've got this Ayahuasca ceremony this weekend with Jamie and Darby.

Marina

What's an Ayahuasca ceremony?

Cornelia

You drink this sludgy liquid and you hallucinate and vomit up your demons.

Marina

Okay. Well, we're just having a cookout and maybe playing charades.

Let's have kids.

Cornelia

I don't want this to be 'Every time you take a hallucinogen you want to have a baby'.

Not every time.

Tim

Why is it that when one person picks up their phone, everybody else has to?

Cornelia

I just have a quick thing...

Tim

Each of us is so certain that we've got the most important thing to do right now.

Cornelia
[still using her phone]

I know, it's so rude.

You know, **** you.

Cornelia

**** you. Don't talk to me like that.

I'm saying "**** you" the way Jamie and Darby say it, where it's not a real "**** you," it's a semi-playful "**** you."

Cornelia

We're not Jamie and Darby. We don't talk to each other that way. If you say "**** you" to me, it feels like a real "**** you."

It is real.

Cornelia

**** you. And not semi-playfully either.

**** you. Total, real, cutting-to-the-core, **** you.
