French Exit (2020)

Daniel di Tomasso: Tom

Quotes 

• Tom : I asked Susan to marry me and it was looking good. Then she gets this early morning telephone call. Since she hung up the phone I've been playing catch up - trying to figure out what she wants. And if I'm not mistaken, she wants - him.

  Mme Reynard : Well?

  Susan : I thought I was happy. I *was* happy. But, then Malcolm called and now I don't know what I'm doing. What am I doing, Malcolm?

  [Malcolm shrugs] 

  Susan : I wonder if you could take your head out of your ass for just the *briefest* moment.

  Tom : Wait! It's a complicated situation but I believe we can express our respective points of view while maintaining our dignity.

  Mme Reynard : Bravo.

• Tom : Before I met Susan I thought I knew what it was to be in love. Said it, meant it. I'd heard it said to me and been so glad to know. But, what were those feelings, compared to this? This is something else. This is - the love poets aspire to.

  Mme Reynard : Are you a poet?

  Tom : I work in finance. There is, I feel, a certain poetry in numbers.

• Tom : I'm really gonna go. This is your last chance. It's now or never.

  Susan : Never, please. Thank you.

• Tom : Wait a minute! What did I win?

  Malcolm Price : Nothing. Everything is exactly the same as it was before.
