Trivia[]
This perspective was famously articulated by Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel, who stated, “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” This view suggests that the absence of any emotional investment or care is a more accurate antithesis to love than active negative emotions.
Quotes[]
- Okay, Donnie, what do you want?
- It's just amazing after all these years. I have a deep capacity for hate myself, but yours yours is impressive.
- I don't hate you.That would take too much effort. But I'm glad to see your ego's still intact.
- Is that what you tell yourself?
- That the opposite of love is Is not hate. It's indifference.
- I don't believe that you're indifferent. Did I ever tell you that I fucked your wife? Before you knew her. And after.
- Okay.
- That's all you have to say? I never could rattle you. And I'm good at rattling people. But you see right through me, and I respect that. What I didn't respect is your inability to be a real lawyer. Yes, you won a few cases. Show boat. I built a business. A culture. A company. A law firm.nYou were a drunk with talent who got lucky. You're playing with fire, Billy. Borns Tech is not some goddamn insurance company. Think about what's gone down in this case and ask yourself how much more of it you can take, how many more people are going to get hurt. Consider one dead client. A DUI. You were almost run down in the street. It was terrible. Don't look at me. Did I say I did it? To acknowledge that a crime has been committed or will be committed is not in itself a crime. You of all people should know that. That killer that you sprung - Bender. You knew he was guilty of murder. You knew he was likely to murder again, but you got him off anyway, and he killed that beautiful, beautiful family. I don't kill innocent people, Billy. You do. That's why you live in a bottle. That's why you destroyed your marriage, your family.
- So I take it there's no offer on the table.
- There's always an offer on the table, Billy boy. How about nothing? You withdraw everything, admit you were wrong give up your law license, give me title to your car, and you let me fuck you up the ass. Don't forget, legally, you have to convey the offer to the client.
- I gave this to your assistant. But the fact that you didn't complain tells me that you told her to ignore it.
- Can you prove that?
- No. I can't.
- Ahem.
- [camera shutter clicks.]
- But I can prove I served you.
- [camera shutter clicks.]
- I'm not accepting this service on behalf of my assistant.
- That's okay. You don't have to. It's not for her. It's for you.
- Oh.
- And I do see right through you. I've never seen you this scared before, you son of a bitch.
- [first lines]
- Lucy Kittridge: [lying in bed watching him] How do you do that? Wake up at the exact same second every morning.
- Donald Cooperman: An act of will.
