Best Quotes

[as Nyles is lounging in the pool]
Jerry: Good day so far?
Nyles: Today, tomorrow, yesterday, it’s all the same.

[giving her wedding speech to Abe and Tala]
Misty: Okay, I decided to Google the two most important things about marriage, love and commitment. Love is to feel a deep romantic, or sexual attachment to someone. And we all know these two little freaks are fine in that department, right? And commitment is the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, et cetera.
[pause]
Tala: Oh, she’s done.
[the guests applaud]

Howard: Get on up there, peanut.
Sarah: No one told me that I was supposed to make a speech.
Howard: Of course you’re supposed to give a speech, you’re the maid of honor. It’s your main job.

[giving his wedding speech]
Nyles: We are born lost. Then we’re found, but we’re all just lost, am I right? However, in the darkness comes light.

[continuing his wedding speech]
Nyles: Here you are, standing on the precipice of something so much bigger than anyone here. And it may be frightening and filled with doubt. But always remember, you are not alone. Everyone here is your family. We are your world. And we will cheer you on with delight in our eyes as you achieve your wildest dreams. So raise a glass. We may be born lost, but now you are found. Cheers.
Misty: Wait. What?

Sarah: What are you smelling?
Nyles: Orchid Explosion by Fournier. Right?
Sarah: Yeah. That’s very weird.
Nyles: Well, I know my hair mists. I dated a girl who used to bathe in it.

Nyles: So what’s your deal, you don’t dance?
Sarah: Plantar fasciitis, actually.
Nyles: Ah, respect.

[referring to his wedding speech]
Sarah: Yeah, but you don’t actually believe any of the s**t that you said?
Nyles: Not a word of it. We’re all f***ing alone.

[as Nyles shows Sarah that his girlfriend, Misty, is having sex with Trevor]
Sarah: I can’t say I ever liked her.
Nyles: Yeah, she has her moments, but this one hurts.
Sarah: Why don’t you go in there and stop them?
Nyles: Ooh, trust me, there is not a world where these two don’t end up together.

Sarah: Well, if it makes you feel any better, my whole family is embarrassed by me. They all see me as a liability who f***s around and drinks too much.
Nyles: Why would they think that?
Sarah: Because I f*** around and drink too much.

[as Sarah and Nyles are about to have sex and Nyles takes off his shorts]
Sarah: You wear underwear under your bathing suit?
Nyles: Yeah, doesn’t everybody?

[as Nyles is suddenly shot in the shoulder with an arrow by Roy]
Nyles: Ow! F***!
Sarah: What the f*** is happening?!
Nyles: I thought I smelled you, you piece of s**t!

[as Roy chases after Nyles]
Roy: Keep running, s**t bird. I will always find you.

[as Sarah follows Nyles into a cave after being chased by Roy]
Sarah: Nyles?
Nyles: No, stop. Don’t come in here!
Sarah: Are you okay?
Nyles: Don’t come in here!
[suddenly Nyles is sucked into a vortex in the cave]

[after we see Sarah got sucked into a vortex in the cave and wakes up to repeat the day]
Howard: It’s going to be a beautiful wedding.
Sarah: What the f***?

[after Sarah confronts Nyles about what’s happening to her]
Nyles: I guess you followed me.
Sarah: What’s going on?
Nyles: I tried to stop you.
Sarah: But what is this? When is this?
Nyles: Yeah. About that. So, this is today. Today is yesterday. And tomorrow is also today. It’s one of those infinite time loop situations you might have heard about.
Sarah: That I might have heard about?
Nyles: Yeah.

Sarah: How do I stop it? I don’t want tomorrow to be today. I want tomorrow to be tomorrow.
Nyles: Right. That’s natural. Unfortunately, that’s never going to happen. Tomorrow will always and forever now be today.

[as Nyles takes Sarah to find the cave]
Nyles: Wait for it. Almost. I am the Antichrist.
[he snaps his finger and the ground shakes from the earthquake]
Nyles: I’m just kidding, there is no God. The earthquake happens every day. But check it out. Opens up the cave.

[as Sarah heads towards the cave]
Nyles: You’re not going to find what you’re looking for in there. Because once you go in, the whole day just resets to wherever you woke up this morning. Same thing if you stick around. The second you fall asleep, it all just goes back to the start.
Sarah: But will this day end if I go in there?
Nyles: Sure. For you.
[Sarah continues on towards the cave]
Nyles: You’re wasting your time!

Howard: She didn’t leave a note?
Pia: Sarah realized the day wasn’t about her, so she left.
Howard: Don’t say that.
[they look over to see Nyles in the kitchen blending a drink]
Nyles: Or she’s scared.
Howard: Of what?
Nyles: Families. Weddings. Intimacy. Melanoma. Nanotech. Round the clock surveillance. Sauce. She’ll be back.

[after Sarah barges into Nyles and Misty’s hotel room; to Nyles]
Sarah: Get dressed. I can’t be here anymore.
[Sarah walks out]
Misty: Oh, my God. Are you f***ing cheating on me?
Nyles: No. You’re cheating on me, you goof.
Misty: Wait. What?

Nyles: I don’t know what it is. It could be life. It could be death. It might be a dream. I might be imagining you. You might be imagining me. It could be purgatory, or a glitch in the simulation that we’re both in. I don’t know. So, I decided a while ago to sort of give up and stop trying to make sense of things altogether, because the only way to really live in this is to embrace the fact that nothing matters.
Sarah: Well, then what’s the point of living?
Nyles: Well, we kind of have no choice but to live. So I think your best bet is just to learn how to suffer existence.

Sarah: So we can’t die?
Nyles: No. The loop just starts over. There might be some way to kill yourself, but I haven’t figured it out, and I’ve done a lot of suicides. So many.

Sarah: No. No, I’m going to get out of this.
[she starts driving fast towards]
Nyles: Okay. Suit yourself.
[Nyles takes his seatbelt off and leans his head on the dashboard]
Sarah: What are you doing?
Nyles: Bracing for a quick death. I mean, we can’t die, but pain is very real. There’s nothing worse than slowly dying in the ICU.
[Sarah takes off her seatbelt]
Nyles: We could just skip this whole phase, go get a beer, you know. Or not. Whatever.
[Sarah drives fast towards the truck heading straight for them]
Nyles: See you tomorrow.

Nyles: So, as I was saying, you just have to find peace, you know.
Sarah: I drove all the way back home to Austin, and I still woke up here.
Nyles: That’s how it works. You know, one time, I smoked a bunch of crystal, and made it all the way to Equatorial Guinea. It was a huge waste of time. They detained me as soon as I got off the plane. I was acting a little odd. And then I passed out in a couple minutes, woke up back here.

Nyles: “What might have been, and what has been point to one end, which is always present.”

Roy: Confucius said, marriage is a bottomless pit of sorrow that makes you forget who you are.
Nyles: He did not.
Roy: But there is a bottom, my friend. And it is a f***ing dark place.

Roy: What do you say, bud? You want to dance a little bit?
Nyles: Okay.
Roy: You know the officiant douchebag in the ridiculous suit?
Nyles: Trevor.
Roy: He’s got a bag of sweets in his pocket. I tried to hit him up, but he said he did not want to share.
[Nyles walks over to Trevor, grabs the drugs from his pocket and shouts over to Roy]
Nyles: You were right! Got them!

[after Nyles reveals that he also trapped Roy in the time loop after a night of partying]
Nyles: When Roy found out about his new life, he did not take it lightly. Luckily, he lives in Irvine and wakes up there every day, so he only comes around once every few days. Or weeks. I don’t know. My sense of time is a little fuzzy.
Sarah: But what does he want?
Nyles: I think he thinks it’s revenge?

[as he chases after Nyles]
Roy: Run, rabbit, run.

Nyles: Material matters don’t really concern me.
Sarah: With the exception of booze, and burritos, and designer drugs, and candy.
Nyles: Obviously. I’m not a Puritan.
Sarah: And sex, I assume?

Sarah: You f*** other people in here?
Nyles: Great question.
Sarah: You must. Right?
Nyles: I have, but it takes a lot of work. And I try to live my life at this point with as little effort as possible.
Sarah: Huh! Have we hooked up?
Nyles: No. At least, I don’t think so.

[referring to Nyles having sex with Tala]
Sarah: What about Tala?
Nyles: No. But I have tried.
[flashback to the wedding reception as Abe and Tala are about to have their first dance]
Nyles: May I cut in?
Abe: It’s the first dance.
Nyles: And that’s a deal‐breaker?
[back to Nyles and Sarah]
Sarah: And that didn’t work?

Sarah: We. You. Me. Everyone. Everyone we know. Nobody can stand the idea of being alone, so we buy into this pageantry and celebrate. It’s bulls**t.
Nyles: Alright. So no wedding then.

Sarah: Maybe it’s a karma thing.
Nyles: What is?
Sarah: Yeah. What if it’s like to get out of this you have to be selfless, and then you’re free.
Nyles: I just bought a hundred dollar candy bar and I’m still here.
Sarah: Yeah, but not like that. Like real acts of selflessness.

Sarah: Look, what if, oh, my God. What if life just keeps going for everyone else here, but not you and me until we’ve earned our way out? You’ve really never thought about this before?
Nyles: Yeah, no. I’ve never thought about the multiverse.

Sarah: Well, Nyles, this has been great. Well, you know, not great. But it’s been interesting. And, hey, in all your future loops, please keep me out of that f***ing cave. And good luck with that psychopath who keeps trying to murder you. Deal with him.
Nyles: Yeah.
Sarah: That could be your way out.
Nyles: Well, you seem to have it all figured out.
Sarah: Good luck.

[to Nyles, after her selfless act didn’t end her loop]
Sarah: Didn’t work. Life is meaningless. Let’s get the f*** out of here.

[as Abe and Tala are about to cut their wedding cake]
Nyles: Wait! Stop! There is a bomb in the cake!
[grabs the bomb out of the cake]
Nyles: Don’t worry. I used to be a bomb guy. Everyone stand back!
[he throws the bomb and in explodes in the sky]
Misty: [screams] Oh, my God!

[as Nyles is tatooing on her back]
Sarah: How’s it going? Is it good?
Nyles: Yeah, it looks really good.
Sarah: And are the balls smoot and hairless, like I asked for?
Nyles: Yeah.
Sarah: And are you getting the jizz right?
Nyles: Dotted lines. Straight across.

Nyles: Think of it like this. Everything in this void, the space where the candy bar once was, but is now in my stomach, is the past. And everything that’s remaining is the future encased in chocolate. I have no interest in this emptiness. You know, the who, what, why of your past. You got here, that’s all that matters.
Sarah: But if you really want to know someone deeper, it does matter. It does. You have to know the whole package.
Nyles: I disagree. This, the next bite, that’s all that matters.

Sarah: [to Nyles] I was married for two years. I knew it wasn’t going to work. I knew it wasn’t going to work out the moment that I said yes. I knew it wasn’t going to work out when I moved to Austin for him. I knew it wasn’t going to work out as I walked down the aisle. But I went through with it. And it didn’t work out. Now, ignoring all that would make me destined to repeat it.

Nyles: These are fantastic mushrooms.
Sarah: Yeah. Too bad we’re doing it in such a s**thole though. I am not a fan of this magical desert.

Nyles: When I say that I feel sorry, it’s like, it’s the same way that I would say that I feel sorry that, you know, I finished one beer, and now I have to open a new one. You know, now I’m not sorry anymore. It’s just a fleeting feeling.
Sarah: Right.
Nyles: It drifts away, just like they all do.
Sarah: What do you mean, “It just drifts away like they all do?” Like what has drifted away?
Nyles: Everything.

[after they’ve had sex and we find out Sarah had slept with Abe the night before]
Nyles: Do you want to talk about it, or…
Sarah: The cop?
Nyles: No, the fact that we had sex last night. You said we should have sex, and then we had sex.
Sarah: What’s there to talk about? It’s all meaningless, right?
Nyles: I mean, I hope it’s not all meaningless.

[after Sarah kills Roy]
Nyles: The pain is real. Why can’t you understand that?
Sarah: It doesn’t matter! Nothing matters! Right? Those are your words!
Nyles: No. Pain matters. What we do to other people matters. Being a source of terror is not fun, okay. It’s not fulfilling. I know this from experience. It doesn’t matter that everything resets and people don’t remember. We remember. We have to deal with the things that we do.
Sarah: Oh, my God. Cry me a river, Nyles. You were never going to deal with him. I actually did you a favor.

Sarah: I got stuck in this s**t because you got me stuck in it.
Nyles: I tried to stop you! Or don’t you remember. I said, “Stop, don’t come in!” But, no, you can’t tell Sarah what to do. She’s got it all figured out.
Sarah: Are you serious right now? I followed you into that cave because I liked you, and someone was trying to hurt you. Because I give a s**t! Which is something that you clearly know nothing about!

Sarah: If I had known that I was going to be stuck with a pretentious, sad bully, for the rest of eternity, I would have stayed so far away from you. And I sure as hell would never have f***ed you.
Nyles: Oh, please. We’ve f***ed like a thousand times.
Sarah: What? What did you say?

Nyles: I lied, okay? We did hook up before. A lot. All I had to do was bail you out with that ridiculous speech at the wedding. But it was different then. It was always just going to reset. And then you got stuck in here, and, I don’t know, maybe I should have told you, but I didn’t want to tell you. I didn’t want to tell you! So I didn’t. Okay?
Sarah: I’m getting out of this day.

[after Sarah goes missing]
Pia: Sarah realized the day wasn’t about her so she left.
Howard: Oh, don’t say that.
Nyles: No, Howard. Once again, Pia is right. Sarah treats her life like it’s her own private soap opera.
Howard: Who are you?
Nyles: Misty’s boyfriend.

[after Nyles finds out about Sarah sleeping with Abe and confronts Abe]
Abe: You don’t actually believe this guy, do you?
Howard: You cheated on your fiancée the night before your wedding with her sister?
Nyles: And you know what? F*** all of you! Sarah’s a good person, but for some reason, she’s never been good enough for any of you!
[Abe tackles Nyles and they start fighting]

[after Nyles realizes he loves Sarah and goes to Roy’s house]
Nyles: Roy! I’m turning myself in! Torture me, I don’t care!
Roy: M*therf***er.
Nyles: You were right, it’s dark down here!
Roy: What the f*** are you doing here?
Nyles: Hey, Roy. I give up. You win.

[to Nyles; referring to his children]
Roy: Twins. Do you believe I made these at my age? If I’d had one less Mai Tai that night, I’d have put the condom on right, and they wouldn’t be here. So, here’s to Mai Tais.

Nyles: So this is your life?
Roy: Not bad, huh? Beautiful wife. Beautiful kids. Little Joey is watering dog s**t. It’s weird. But it’s beautiful.
Nyles: What happened to marriage being a “bottomless pit of sorrow”?
Roy: Things change, you know? Priorities change.

Roy: [to Nyles] I had a lot of anger towards you, man. I mean, I’m not going to see my kids grow up. Never going to walk little Libby down the aisle. I guess I had my head up my own a**. I mean, I didn’t really comprehend what I was putting you through. That little stint in the hospital really opened my eyes though.

Roy: [to Nyles] This was always a good day here. You know. My wife in the prime of her womanhood. Little Joey tending his dog s**t. Libby’s going to do a family portrait later this afternoon where we’re all animals. I’m a cuddly grizzly bear. I mean, it doesn’t get any better than that.

Roy: You got to find your Irvine.
Nyles: I don’t have an Irvine.
Roy: We all have an Irvine.

[to Nyles, referring to Sarah]
Roy: Well, at least you have each other. Nothing worse than going through this s**t alone.

Roy: I think it’s best if we don’t see each other anymore. It’s not you, it’s me.
Nyles: Could you kill me one more time? Just to, you know, beat the traffic?
Roy: Alright. Side yard.

[explaining her theory of getting out of the time loop]
Sarah: We blow up ourselves and the cave during that window. And if we detonate the C4 at the exact right moment, it will propel us out.
Nyles: To where?
Sarah: I don’t know. We could wake up, and it’s today. We could wake up, and it’s twenty years from now. Or, you know, we could be dead, under a pile of rocks. There’s really no way to be sure, that’s why it’s a theory. But we have to try.

Sarah: Holy s**t. Are you scared to leave?
Nyles: What? No! Not at all. I just don’t want to leave. There’s a difference.
Sarah: Oh, yeah? What’s the difference?
Nyles: I want to stay with you.

Nyles: Look, I love you, okay? How about that?
Sarah: What?
Nyles: I love you.
Sarah: How can you even know that? I am literally the only other human being stuck in here with you.
Nyles: No. What about Roy? I don’t love him.

Sarah: Oh, my God. Nyles. So you are saying that out there, in the real world, with millions of other people to choose from, you would still choose me?
Nyles: Yeah. But why would I want to go back there anyway, you know? It’s a world with death and poverty, debilitating emotional distress. At least in here, we get to be together.
Sarah: You have lost your mind.
Nyles: Is that so bad? That’s what love is all about! Don’t be so afraid of it.

Sarah: This isn’t real, Nyles. Everything that we are doing in here is f***ing meaningless.
Nyles: So what? I mean, it’s not like things were going so great for you out there. Look, I know about you and Abe, okay? And if your plan works, that’s a whole other mess you’re going to have to deal with.
Sarah: How do you know about that?
Nyles: Orchid Explosion by Fournier. But it doesn’t matter! I don’t care about that stuff. That’s like my whole thing.

Sarah: I can’t keep waking up in there.
Nyles: Just ignore it.
Sarah: I need my life back. And I am asking you if you want to leave this place and come with me.
Nyles: And I’m saying no. But I’m also asking you to stay.
[Sarah embraces Nyles for a moment]
Nyles: Goodbye, Nyles.

Nyles: We should break up.
Misty: What?
Nyles: You don’t like me.
Misty: I don’t like you. But I don’t think we should break up.
Nyles: What?
Misty: People don’t break up with me. This is so f***ed up.
Nyles: Okay.
Misty: I’m breaking up with you. I had the idea first!

[to Tala in her wedding speech before she plans to leave the time loop]
Sarah: You have this selflessness and this hopefulness that’s really special. It’s really rare. Big sisters are supposed to teach baby sisters, but I will today and forever, and ever, ever, be learning from you. And now, Abe. Don’t f*** this up.
Abe: I won’t.
Sarah: Good.

Darla: You okay, sweetheart?
Nyles: I’ve felt everything I’ll ever feel. So I’ll never feel ever again.
Darla: What are you pouring this kid, Ted?
Ted the Bartender: That’s his first drink.

Nyles: I thought I knew how to live. I didn’t. Or I don’t.
Darla: Honey, take a look around. Whatever you’re after, it ain’t here.

[as Nyles rushes to the cave before Sarah leaves and she stops his speech]
Sarah: You get one more sentence.
Nyles: Okay. Okay. Even though I pretend not to be, I’ve realized that I’m completely co‐dependent. But I’m cool with it, because I think that life should be shared now, and I need you to survive.
Sarah: Okay. That’s your one sentence.

[continues his speech]
Nyles: I need you to survive, comma. But it’s so much more than that, colon. I know you better than anyone knows you. And remember that night we saw the dinosaurs? You said it yourself. In order to really know a person, you have to see the entire package. The good and the bad. And I’ve seen your package, and it is excellent, Sarah. Ampersand.

[continues his speech]
Nyles: You’re my favorite person that I’ve ever met. And, yes. I know that it’s crazy odds that the person I like the most in my entire life would be someone I met while I was stuck in a time loop. But you know what else has crazy odds? Getting stuck in a time loop! Dot, dot, dot.
Sarah: Ellipses.
Nyles: Ellipses, thank you.
Sarah: It’s called an ellipses.

Nyles: Look, I hope that blowing ourselves up works. But it’s really irrelevant to me, as long as I’m with you. And if it kills us, well then, I’d rather die with you than live in this world without you. Emphatic period.
Sarah: That was a grammatical nightmare.
Nyles: Yeah. I’m hoping it didn’t distract from my point too much.
Sarah: I mean, an emphatic period is just, it’s just an exclamation point.
Nyles: I didn’t want to seem desperate.

Sarah: What if we get sick of each other?
Nyles: We’re already sick of each other. It’s the best.

Sarah: I can survive just fine without you, you know. But there is a chance that this life can be a little less mundane with you in it.
Nyles: Yeah. Less mundane. That’s a super low bar. That’s a great place to start.

Sarah: Come on. Let’s see if we blow up and die.
Nyles: Okay.

[as they are about to blow themselves up in the cave]
Nyles: Where do you want to go on our first date when this for sure works?
Sarah: Your mom’s house.
Nyles: Okay. This was a mistake.
Sarah: Your mom’s a mistake.
Nyles: Alright.

Sarah: In case I don’t see you again, I love you too.
[Sarah and Nyles kiss before she detonates the bomb]

[mid-credits lines; Roy approaches Nyles at the wedding]
Roy: Hey, s**t bird. I got the message from your girlfriend last night. That is a pretty crazy theory. You really think it could work?
[Nyles looks confused]
Nyles: I’m sorry. Do I know you? I’m Nyles.
Roy: Hi.
Nyles: Hi.
[Roy laughs as he realizes Sarah’s theory to escape the time loop has worked]
Roy: No way. Wow!
