    • Quotes
      • Freddie: People fall in love every day, huh? Is that what you said?
      • Allen: Yeah.
      • Freddie: Yeah? Well, that's a crock. It doesn't work that way. Look, do you realize how happy you were with her? That is, of course, when you weren't driving yourself crazy. Every day? Come on. Some people will never BE that happy. I'LL never be that happy. What am I talking to you for? You don't know anything.
