Birds of America (2008)

Ben Foster: Jay

Quotes 

• Morrie : I'm relieved you're not a child molester, but you can't go around touching people.

  Jay : People need to be jolted.

  Morrie : No, people need to be comforted, and you don't comfort them by satisfying your own curiosity about breaking down boundaries and rules. Some people really like their rules, they've chosen them, and you don't get to choose what rules other people obey or not; they do.

• Morrie : Paul and Laura got a dog. And it relieves itself on our lawn many times a day.

  Jay : Did you say anything?

  Morrie : Can't.

  Betty Tanager : Can't do anything we'd like to, really. Not yet.

  Morrie : Paul is one of the faculty members who recommended me for tenure.

  Betty Tanager : And he's on the board of regents. And he golfs with the Provost.

  Morrie : And I need his support.

  Jay : No, that's not what you need.
