Charly: He agreed with me, of course.
Sam: Of course.

Quote: Ena Riley: If you want to be an artist, you have to take a risk. Find something you don't own completely, something you feel so deeply you can't imagine you could ever possibly paint it. Paint that. [Movie: Charly [2002] Movie: Charly [2002]]

Quote: Charly: Describe her to me.
Sam: Who?
Charly: The future Mrs. Utah. What's she like? No, let me guess. A little on the stout side, but pleasant, always pleasant. Perpetually aproned, but never ruffled. June Cleaver with a day-planner.
Sam: You have no idea what you're talking about.
Charly: Come on, Utah. You cannot tell me, sitting there in your highly starched shirt, that you do not dream of tying the knot with some ultra-organized gorgeous woman who just happens to love to cook and sew and cater to your every whim.

Quote: Charly: Sam, wait up. Don't go, let's talk.
Sam: How could you do this to me?
Charly: To you?
Sam: You're not who I thought you were.
Charly: Sam, I had a life before I met you, I did. But it was different then, and I was different then. Sam... Sam, look at me. You introduced me to a new way of looking at life, but it's not going to mean much to me unless you're a part of it. Sam... Sam, I think I just told you I love you. Sam, please say something. What do you want?
Sam: I don't know. Not used merchandise.
