Alien Visitor (1996)
Ullie Birve: She
Quotes
-
She : We better get back into the present. If I'm here before I got here, they won't be looking for me yet. And when later on they do look, I won't be here for them to find me.
-
She : You're going to have to help me get off.
The Man : Me? Off where?
She : Here. Off here. Off Earth.
The Man : Oh, you mean, this "vile" planet?
She : Yes.
The Man : Looks OK to me.
She : That's because you're like a frog.
The Man : Oh, I see.
She : You don't see at all. Have you ever cooked a live frog?
The Man : Why would I want to do that?
She : You might learn something.
[pause]
She : When you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump straight back out to save itself. But if you put a frog into a pot of cold water and heat it slowly it will swim around quite happily until the water gets too hot and kills it.
The Man : So?
She : Are you representative of the level of intelligence here or are you particularly stupid?
The Man : Oh, about average I'd say.
She : This place is worse than I thought.
[pause]
She : What happens to the second frog is what is happening to you here, right this minute. And I want to get off before the water boils.
-
She : Having the "Earth mentality" is the one thing that is unforgivable in the rest of the universe.
-
The Man : Are there any, like, boundaries on our relationship?
She : How do you mean, boundaries?
The Man : Well, boundaries, ya know? Like, for example, physical boundaries. If I've known your five minutes, or a week - my watch behaving strangely. But, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Say what you mean in a way.
She : What do you mean?
The Man : Well... you know...
She : If that's your idea of saying what you mean, it's no wonder this place is in such a mess.
-
She : I feel the need to have a relationship. We're together anyway, so it makes sense to also have a relationship.
The Man : We hardly know each other.
She : Oh, it's quite easy, really. We'll treat each other with respect and kindness, and have a relationship.
The Man : Just like that, ay?
She : Is that so hard?
The Man : No. Suits me fine.
She : Some simple rules need to be followed. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Don't get offended by anything I say or do, no matter how hard that might be for you, until after we've agreed to terminate the relationship. Don't bottle-up your feelings. Agree to disagree. Respect the other's point of view. That's the one that's going to be hardest for me...
