Melinda and Melinda

Melinda and Melinda is a 2004 comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. Lee Life has a malicious way of dealing with great potential. Melinda You know, life is manageable enough if you keep your hopes modest. The minute you allow yourself sweet dreams you run the risk of them crashing down. Hobie They still talk about my portrayal of King Lear. I played it with a limp. Did I tell you I played Uncle Vanya once? With a limp. It was interesting. Excuse the mess. My cleaning woman just won $60 million, so I gave her the night off. Dialogue Melinda: Uh I've been having a bad time so I just took some sleeping pills. Hobie: Sleeping pills? How many? Melinda: Uh... 28. Susan: Oh my God! Hobie, make some black coffee. Melinda: No, I'm allergic to coffee, but do you have any vodka? Susan: You look a little carsick. Hobie: Why, 'cause I'm the color of guacamole? Susan: I wish we could afford a place in the Hamptons. Everybody who's anybody has one. Hobie: Yeah, but if you're somebody who's nobody, it's no fun to be around anybody who's everybody. Hobie: We used to make love all the time and now, there's always an excuse. Susan: I told you, I'm going through an emotionally difficult time creatively. Hobie: You feel like we don't communicate anymore? Susan: Of course we communicate. Now can we not talk about it anymore? Walt: Maybe you should go back to your shrink. Discuss it. Hobie: He just recommended Prozac. I think he has stock in the company, honestly. Melinda: You're the piano player. Ellis: Not anymore. I'm on a break. A mysterious stranger has, uh, temporarily taken over, and I must say she plays beautifully. Hey, are your eyes misting over? Melinda: The song... it's meaningful to me. It was playing the night I met someone. Ellis: So, are they tears of sorrow or tears of joy? Melinda: Well, aren't they the same tears? Ellis: Yeah. Hobie: I think it'd be only fair to tell you. I'm a Liberal. Stacey: Oh. Are you talking politically, or in the bedroom? Hobie: I was talking politically. In the bedroom I'm a left-wing Liberal. Hobie: It's funny, a grown woman outside a door listening in. Melinda: Oh, by the way, I found a scrap of your pajamas in my door. Hobie: [sheepishly] Oh...really? You found that. I'll have to tell my laundress. Melinda: You don't have a laundress. Hobie: Well, marry me, and we'll get a laundress.
