Best Quotes


 

Noa: [over phone, before her date with Chad] I obviously don’t mind paying, but what a weird way to start off a date.
Mollie: That’s what I’m saying. Is this what you tell your kids? “Oh, it was so romantic before our first date, y’all. He texted me, ‘FYI, this place is cash only.'” No.


 

Chad: [during their date] I had this crazy thought. I just feel like the women in our parents generation, they just cared more about how they dressed, and just kind of how they looked. They were more into femininity. You know what I mean? Like, nowadays, I feel like girls, they just wear oversized everything, like it’s a blanket. Do you know what I mean? You know what I’m saying, right? It’s like, because I think you would just look great in a dress. Not that you don’t look good in a sweater. But I mean, if you were…
Waitress: You guys okay?
Noa: Yeah. Pretty much done actually. Thank you.
Chad: Cool. Yeah, we’ll just get this wrapped up then.


 

Chad: We should do this again sometime.
Noa: Yeah. Look, Chad, I don’t think we’re really a match. You know?
Chad: Wow. I was literally just being polite. You’re not even my type, to be honest, so.
Noa: Okay.
Chad: Oh, that’s funny? “Ha-ha, it’s hilarious”? Yeah. Okay. Good luck finding a guy, you stuck-up b**ch.


 

Noa: [moviequotesandmore.com] I don’t know how you do it, Mollie.
Mollie: Do what?
Noa: Dating people. And I always end up alone. Which, by the way, I’m very okay with.
Mollie: No. No. What? You do not need a man, okay? Or anybody, for that matter. It’s just the way we’ve been raised since f***ing Disney movies.
Noa: Yeah. F*** Ariel.
Mollie: F*** her. Stupid b**ch left the whole sea for a man. Come on, now. Like, f*** Beauty.
Noa: Yeah, f*** the Beast. I am the beast.
Mollie: You are the beast!


 

Steve: [as they’re grocery shopping] Have you ever had these?
Noa: Grapes?
Steve: No. Cotton Candy grapes. They taste just like them. I’m not kidding.
Noa: Really?
Steve: Yeah. I told my sister and my niece, and they were like, “No way. F*** you.” So now I’m getting them on my way there.
Noa: Your niece said, “F*** you”?
Steve: Yeah. Four year-olds are crazy.


 

Steve: [referring to the grapes] I can tell you don’t believe me, so you’re going to have to try one. I don’t want you leaving here thinking I’m a weirdo.
Noa: Okay.
Steve: Right?
Noa: Holy s**t. Wow.
Steve: Science.
Noa: Yeah. Go science.


 

Steve: Do you live around here? Because I live on aisle six. I just come to the fruit section to talk to random, very good looking people that stand near it. That was terrible.
Noa: That was kind of terrible.
Steve: I’m so sorry.
Noa: It’s fine.
Steve: Have a good night.
Noa: Okay. You too.
Steve: You know what? F*** it. I’m already ruining this, so I’m just gooing to keep going. Do you think I could have your number?


 

Steve: [after Noa gives him her number] We can meet here next week to talk about the broccoli if you want.
Noa: Sounds good.


 

Mollie: [after Noa tells her how she met Steve] And you’re just now telling me today? Wow. When you think you had a friend.
Noa: No, I just think it was weird, you know? He was cute, and funny, and…
Mollie: Okay.
Noa: I didn’t think people met people in real life anymore, you know?


 

Mollie: [referring to Steve] He’s probably married.
Noa: Thank you for that. Yes, he’s probably married.
Mollie: Probably.
Noa: Like, I’m already thinking about the fact he hasn’t texted.
Mollie: That’s one of the things I love about dating women. Less games, more emotional dependence, you know?


 

Mollie: [to Noa, referring to dating] So don’t play the games. Just be you straight out the gate. F*** it.


 

Noa: [moviequotesandmore.com] Hey, do you want to come over later? I could use some emotional dependence.
Mollie: Well, my emotional dependence ain’t cheap, boo. Let me tell you.


 

Noa: Can I get a Manhattan with like as many cherries as you can spare, please?
Steve: Cherries. I like that.
Noa: I love cherries.


 

Steve: [after telling Noa he’s a doctor] I work in reconstructive surgery.
Noa: You mean, plastic surgery.
Steve: Yep. That’s the one.
Noa: Right.
Steve: There’s only one.


 

Noa: Well, we have something in common, I guess.
Steve: Yeah, dead parents.


 

Noa: [after finding out that he’s not on social media] I mean, how am I supposed to stalk you now?
Steve: You’re just going to have to do it in person. You know. Show up at my house, the old-fashioned way. Send me a letter! That would be nice.


 

Steve: Let’s play a game. Tell me something you don’t want me to know.
Noa: Fun game. Okay. It’s risky. Yes. I hate this. I mean…
Steve: Okay. I’m sorry.
Noa: Not you, because you seem cool. No, I hate like dating. You know? Everything about it. The awkward preamble. The like questions and stuff. The like, you know, texting. The perfect projection. Everything about it. Honestly.


 

Noa: [moviequotesandmore.com] I don’t know, I just think that people who like believe in true love are f***ing idiots.
Steve: So dumb.
Noa: They are.
Steve: They’re so dumb.


 

Noa: Like we put all our hopes of like finding happiness through someone else. And I just think that like, I don’t know, maybe it’s not meant for me, because I’ve like been alone so long. I’m actually pretty good at it.


 

Steve: [as they’re kissing] Maybe it’s a little too much. A little too fast.
Noa: Oh, wow. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a guy say that before.


 

Noa: Can I get you something to like drink? Or eat?
Steve: No. Just you.


 

Noa: [over phone, referring to having sex with Steve] Somewhere between the second, and the third drink I was like, “F*** it.” And it was actually very freeing.
Mollie: My “F*** it” advice always works. Damn.
Noa: Like I wasn’t even worrying about how I looked, or like if I was taking too long.


 

Mollie: [over phone, referring to Steve] What’s his Instagram? I want to stalk a little bit.
Noa: Oh, he doesn’t have one.
Mollie: Say what? What do you mean? Oh, no. See, that’s shady. I’m sorry. Red flag.
Noa: Okay. Whatever. Stop raining on my sex parade.


 

Mollie: [referring to Paul] You know, I don’t remember why we stopped hooking up. He was a good guy. And a good kisser too.
Noa: Probably because you can’t be tamed. You need to roam free.
Mollie: That is true.


 

Noa: [moviequotesandmore.com] You have to try these short ribs, they’re insane.
Steve: Yeah, they look really good. But I just don’t eat animals.


 

Noa: [over phone] I’m going away with Steve for the weekend.
Mollie: What? Where?
Noa: It’s a surprise.
Mollie: Hold on, Noa. Uh-uh. A surprise? I don’t like that.
Noa: I’m just going to go for it. You said, “F*** it,” remember?
Mollie: Girl, you’re all d**kmatized, and I haven’t even seen this dude.


 

Mollie: I’m excited for you. It’s a straight girl’s fantasy come true, right?
Noa: Right?


 

Steve: By the way, I’m making my own version of an old-fashioned with a twist. And it’s going to have some cherries in it.

Steve: Now, I want you to listen to me very carefully, okay? Are you listening to me? Noa! There you are. I’m going to tell you now. I’m going to sell your meat. People pay me a lot of money for it. And your hair. And weird s**t like that. It’s a thing. So, I’m not going to kill you, right away. Because the fresher the meat, the better. So, I’m going to keep you alive, for as long as I can. Unless you act up.


 

Noa: Help me, please! Please! Please, I’ll do anything!
Penny: I can’t help you. We’re in the same boat.


 

Noa: People have to be looking for you. Your friends, your family, the police. People have to be searching by now.
Penny: The problem is, I don’t have much family.
Noa: Me neither.
Penny: Makes sense.


 

Steve: [to Noa] I know things are a little different, but it’s still me, you know? Still the guy I was at the bar that night. I meant everything I said to you. Just no games, right? No projections. Isn’t that what you wanted?

Noa: No.
Steve: Yes.
Noa: No.
Steve: You lost my trust, Noa. So there are going to have to be consequences.

Mollie: The police.
Paul: Yeah.
Mollie: And say what? That my best friend went away with a guy, and extended her trip, and she’s texting me, but I don’t think it’s her?
Paul: Why not? She white, right?
Mollie: Don’t do that.

Noa: I just want to hurt him, Penny.
Penny: It’s all I think about.
Noa: I can’t believe I slept with him.

Noa: I’m so f***ing stupid.
Penny: No. You’re not. It is not our fault, Noa. It’s always theirs.


 

Steve: How are the meds?
Steve: [as Noa doesn’t reply] Great, great, great. Still in denial?


 

Steve: Look, it’s going to take a little time, but eventually, you’re going to learn to accept that things don’t always turn out the way you thought they would. You know, we all die. But it’s really just how we decide to go out.


 

Noa: Why did you sleep with me, Steve?
Steve: I told you, I liked you. Anyway, it was a mistake.


 

Steve: [to Noa] Try to relax. Fear and stress isn’t good for the meat.


 

Penny: I’m done, Noa.
Noa: No, you’re not.
Penny: I don’t even know who I am anymore. I hope he f***ing chokes. And then he gets a f***ing tapeworm. And it just eats him from the inside, slowly. And that all his weirdo friends s**t and puke out of their eyes till they all f***ing die.
Noa: You’re such a sweetheart, Penny. Just stay strong. Okay?


 

Noa: What does it taste like?
Steve: Well, it depends on where it comes from and how it’s prepared. But if it’s done right, it’s f***ing exquisite. It’s like nothing you’ve ever had before.


 

Steve: So, why did you ask me what it tasted like?
Noa: I don’t know. I guess I was curious.
Steve: You were curious? You expect me to believe that?
Noa: You can believe what you want.
Steve: Okay. Let’s have dinner, and we’ll see how curious you are.


 

Steve: [referring to when he first became a cannible] It wasn’t an overnight thing, you know? First, I was actually horrified. I mean, how could I possibly be capable of doing something like this? You know, I was a normal kid. I had friends. I had a normal life, and now I got to deal with this thing that I couldn’t share with anybody. And that killed me. But I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth. The texture. I liked it. I liked the way it made me feel.


 

Steve: There’s a whole community of people that are devoted to this. And that’s when my life started making sense. I mean, it’s a very powerful thing. This whole world, if you only knew. It’s about giving. Giving yourself over to somebody. Becoming one with somebody else, forever. And that’s a beautiful thing. That’s surrender. That’s love.


 

Noa: And how many people are in this community?
Steve: Not many. The one percent of the one percent. You know, there’s nothing these people can’t afford, right? They want the one thing that no one else has, or can get. And that’s where I come in. I can get it for them. And I made a name for myself.


 

Noa: Is it only women that you eat?
Steve: Yeah.
Noa: Why?
Steve: That’s where the market is. Plus, women just taste better.


 

Steve: So, I cooked us something. If you’re open to trying it.
Noa: Is it me?
Steve: No. We’ll have a bite together.


 

Steve: This meal is about thirty thousand dollars.
Noa: That’s crazy.
Steve: Be a lot more if she was still alive. Hope. That was her name. Kind of funny.


 

Steve: [to Noa] You know how I knew you were special? Because you’re f***ed up too.


 

Penny: You know, the other night, I was thinking about how nice it’s been to talk to you. But then I was like, what if you’re not real, and I’m just going crazy? Like Melissa. But I feel like if I had an imaginary friend, I wouldn’t name her Noa. It’d be like Sean Connery.
Noa: I wish I could see you.
Penny: Me too.


 

Steve: [to Noa] I was thinking about what you said that night. About growing up alone and all. Made me realize, nobody’s ever really cooked for you. And that made me sad. Everyone has to have someone cook for them once.


 

Noa: [as they’re eating the pâté ] Who’s this?
Steve: This? This is Melissa.
Noa: Melissa. I mean, that’s so boring. Isn’t it? Like she tastes so, you know, decadent, and her name’s Melissa. I thought you were going to say something, you know, like Joy. I guess we finished all of Hope.
Steve: Oh, no. There’s more Hope left.
[they both laugh]


 

Steve: [as he shows Noa the collection of the women’s personal belongings] Welcome to my world. The clients want to feel closer to the women. They become a part of you in some way. There’s Melissa. And no, she never had a candlelight dinner.
Noa: Where is my stuff?
Steve: With me, I guess.
[Noa then notices Mollie’s phone case in the collection of things, realizing Steve has her too]


 

Noa: This is really nice, Steve. You know? You’re right, no one has ever cooked for me, so. It’s not quite how I pictured it. But, you know, it is nice.


 

Noa: [to Steve] It is really nice. And it’s all just so confusing. And I can’t quite process, because I feel awful. I feel awful. Because I don’t feel awful.


 

Steve: [to Noa] It’s all going to be okay. You’re just different. And I knew it from the moment I met you.


 

Noa: [after they escape] How the f*** did he get you?
Mollie: I was trying to find you, but I found him. I knew s**t was off.
Noa: I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.
Penny: You guys are so cute.


 

Paul: [as he’s trying to find Mollie] Come on, man, we seen this movie. We don’t make it out this b**ch alive, you know this. GPS got me twisted and s**t.


 

Noa: [to Steve, pointing his gun at him] Come on. Give me a smile.
[as he smiles, she shoots him in the face]


 

Mollie: You going back out there?
Noa: I got to get my phone.
Mollie: Look, come right the f*** back, okay?
Noa: Okay.
Mollie: For real.
Noa: I will.


 

Ann: [as she’s strangling Noa] I want to watch your life slip away.


 

Noa: [after Mollie kills Ann] Who the hell is that?
Mollie: Steve’s wife.
Noa: What? He’s married?
Mollie: Was married.
Noa: I f***ing love you, Mollie.
Mollie: I love you more.
[after which we see Noa gets a text from Chad saying “U up?”]
