Alicia Nash

— Alicia, does our relationship warrant long-term commitment? Because I need some kind of proof, some kind of verifiable, empirical data.
— I'm sorry, just give me a moment... to redefine my girlish notions of romance. A proof? Verifiable data. Okay. Well, how big is the universe?
— Infinite.
— How do you know?
— Because all the data indicates it.
— But it hasn't been proven yet?
— No.
— You haven't seen it.
— No.
— How do you know for sure?
— I don't, I just believe it.
— It's the same with love, I guess.

— I find that polishing my interactions... in order to make them sociable requires a tremendous effort. I have a tendency to expedite information flow... by being direct. I often don't get a pleasant result.
— Try me.
— All right. I find you attractive. Your aggressive moves towards me indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we continue with a number of platonic activities... before we have sex. I am proceeding with those activities... but in point of actual fact... all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible. Are you going to slap me now?

God must be a painter. Why else would we have so many colors?

— Thank you for that.
— No, keep it. I believe in deciding things will be good luck. Do you?
— No. I don't believe in luck. But I do believe in assigning value to things.
