How to Make an American Quilt
- Will you have a dinner with me?
- Look, i already have a dinner to go to... with my wife.

Young lovers seek perfection.
Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of patches.
They said they didn't love each other anymore. ...maybe they were just afraid that their relationship had become just like everyone else's.
They eventually parted as friends, and I eventually stopped thinking it was all my fault. The truth is, it's no one's fault. Sometimes love simply dies.
It seems the more I know about something, the less I want to know about it.
But how do you merge into this thing called a couple and still keep a little room for yourself?
Don't you understand why I did it? Frankly, the reason eludes me. Your sister was the closest I could get to you.
Yeah, I forgave him. That's what you do when someone dies.
- I like your name. I like it very much.
- Do you now?
- When we marry, we'll break tradition so you can keep it.
- Excuse me?
- Remember when you took me to the swimming hole?
- Why'd you stop going?
- I became a wife, I guess.
I've come to believe that Dean is more typical than not. It's a pattern of nature.
The female keeps the nest, while the male goes out and flaunts his feathers.
- Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I wonder how exactly I got here.
- Why don't you go? Why don't you just go?
- They give people an excuse to do foolish things.
- I'm young. I'm supposed to do foolish things.
- And spend the rest of your life paying for them?
- It's better than spending the rest of my life wondering what I missed.
- I'd rather wonder than kick myself.
- I'd rather kick myself.
- Fine.
- You will end up with a deeply-sore backside.
- You can't expect me to make an instant switch after telling me my whole life what an asshole my dad is.
- Honey, he was. And so was I. But we've forgiven each other.
- It would've been nice if you had done this forgiving thing 20 years ago.
- We couldn't. We had to grow up a lot.
- You think it's easier to start all over again with something else?
- I don't know. Yes.
- How nice to be so unattached to something.
There are no rules you can follow. You have to go by instinct, and you have to be brave.
