The Big Chill/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Everyone (except Chloe) snarking on Sam's show "J.T. Lancer" when it comes on.

Sarah: (in deep voice) Say, baby, let's eat.

  • The whole scene of Nick interviewing himself. Even better when Harold walks in on it:

Nick: Harold, we're on the air!
Harold: Oh! Sorry.

  • This conversation between Harold and Karen while they're stoned:

Karen: I know that Richard (her husband) will always be faithful to me.
Harold: That's nice. You trust.
Karen: (shakes her head) Fear of herpes.

  • Sam walks in on Nick watching a movie on TV in the middle of the night:

Sam: What's this?
Nick: I'm not sure.
Sam: What's it about?
Nick: I don't know.
Sam: Who's that?
Nick: I think the guy in the hat did something terrible.

  • Sam, Harold, Meg, Michael and Karen are sitting around talking.

Sam: In Hollywood, I don't know who to trust. I don't know who likes me or why they even do like me.
Harold: Well you don't have that problem here. (Sam smiles) You know I don't like you.
Michael: Me neither.
Meg: Ditto.
Sam: Assholes!
