Don’t know the movie, but it sounds like something a Peter Dinklage character would say.

Nope. Another line … (a bit of a give away, if you’ve seen the movie):

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”

Man asking a woman for a date:

Man: What are you doing Saturday night?

Woman: Committing suicide.

Man: What about Friday night?

Woman looks briefly at man and then walks away.

_Play it Again, Sam_

After the woman has said, about a Jackson Pollock painting,

> It restates the negativeness of the universe. The hideous lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness. The predicament of Man forced to live in a barren, Godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror and degradation, forming a useless bleak straitjacket in a black absurd cosmos.

If this last line doesn’t give it away, I don’t think I can help you:

> I said “human” interaction. This is what happens when people have a you-know-what occur in their lives. They wake up one day and they say, “I’m going to quit my job and try something completely different with my life.” But then they wake up another day and they say to themselves, “Thank God my older brother didn’t let my blow Dad’s inheritance by buying a broken-down zoo in the country nine miles from the nearest Target store.”
