Jaclyn Hellman: Gloria Walsh

Quotes 

• Jay Wickham : You know anything about death?

  Gloria Walsh : Death?

  Jay Wickham : Yeah, you know, death.

  Gloria Walsh : Are you interested in death?

  Jay Wickham : It's something that we all go through, at least once.

  Gloria Walsh : Can't deny that.

  Jay Wickham : People do.

  Gloria Walsh : I don't think so.

  Jay Wickham : Man spends millions, maybe billions of dollars a year on booze, drugs, women, religion, psychiartrists, you name it, just to obscure the fact of his ultimate demise.

  Gloria Walsh : Well, what should you do, think about it day and night?

  Jay Wickham : No, not at all, just give it it's due, that's all. Suppose a man's life is a drag, he makes a pledge, see, I'll stick around 'til I'm 50, then if I don't like it...

  [mimes shooting himself in the head] 

  Jay Wickham : Colors the time leading to 50, right? He's only got to go so far, makes it easier, gives him control.

  Gloria Walsh : So?

  Jay Wickham : It gives his life form. That's all death is, punctuation.

  Gloria Walsh : You're focusing on the punctuation and forgetting the sentence.

  Jay Wickham : Interesting choice of words, sentence.
