Quotes 

• Nina : Oh God, not again!

• Nina : It's not gonna work. I have tinnitus. And these lights zigzagging in my eyes. I have a shard of glass in the back of my throat. And that's about all I can feel.

• Nina : These things will stay in his head precisely because I am dead. You're an oil painting that's still wet. Any good memories you slather out will just get mushed in with what happens next. I have no next.

• Nina : We never broke up.

  Rob : You died. I couldn't.

  Nina : Did you want to?

  Rob : No.

  Nina : Well, then.

  Rob : I'm breaking up with you now.

  Nina : You can't.

  Rob : What do you mean? Why not?

  Nina : Because I'm dead.

  Rob : Didn't change you very much, did it?

  Nina : Well, that's sort of the point.

  Rob : Why do you always have to be like this when we row?

  Nina : I'm not being like anything. I'm dead. I'm very literally not being like anything at all.

• Nina : Oblivion would beat this. Would beat lying next to the heat of your heart beating in your little living chest.

• Nina : You don't make happiness. It blooms on anything you don't scrub too hard.

• Nina : You don't think this is love, do you, Holly? I mean sure, he's made you feel useful. Every drop of semen that has trickled down your belly has been a splash of sunshine on his grief-stricken brow. But basically you're Florence Nightingale job-sharing with Linda Lovelace.

• Nina : This is what she wanted. This is what darkness is, Holly. Flesh trapped between metal. Metal on bone. Almost makes me nostalgic. Oh, I can almost taste the petrol.

• Rob : It's never going to work out, is it?

  Nina : If you don't mind me saying, that's a very living way of looking at the situation. I mean, from my perspective, it already hasn't... Worked out.
