Revolutionary Road

April Wheeler: If being crazy means - living life as if it matters, then I don't care if we're completely insane. Do you?

April Wheeler: No, Frank. This is what's unrealistic. It's unrealistic for a man with a fine mind to go on working year after year at a job he can't stand. Coming home to a place he can't stand, to a wife who's equally unable to stand the same things. And you know what the worst part of it is? Our whole existence here is based on this great premise that we're special.  That we're superior to the whole thing. But we're not. We're just like everyone else! We bought into the same, ridiculous delusion. That we have to resign from life and settle down the moment we have children. And we've been punishing each other for it.

Bart Pollock: Frank, let me tell you something my father told me. A man gets only a couple of chances in life. If he doesn't grab'em by the balls, it won't take long for he's sitting around wondering why he got to be second rate.

Frank Wheeler: All I know April is, I want to feel things. Really - feel them, you know. How's that for an ambition?

Frank Wheeler: So, what do you do?

April Wheeler: I'm studying to be an actress. You?

Frank Wheeler: I'm a longshoreman.

April Wheeler: No, I mean, really.

Frank Wheeler: I mean really, too. Although starting next Monday I'm doing something a little more glamorous.

April Wheeler: What's that?

Frank Wheeler: Night cashier at a cafeteria.

April Wheeler: I don't mean how you make money. I mean, what are you interested in?

Frank Wheeler: Honey, if I had the answer to that one, I bet I'd bore us both to death in half an hour.

Frank Wheeler: You know what this is like? April, honestly? This talking like this. The whole, the whole idea of, of going off to Europe this way. This is the way I felt going up to the line, the first time, in the war. I mean, I was, I was probably just as scared as everyone else; but, but inside, I never felt better. I felt, I felt alive! I felt full of blood! I felt - everything just - everything seemed more real. The guys in the uniforms. The snow on the fields. The trees. And all of us, all of us, just, walking. I mean, I-I was scared, of course; but, I just kept thinking, this is it, you know! This - is the truth!

April Wheeler: I felt that way once too.

Frank Wheeler: When?

April Wheeler: The first time you made love to me.

Frank Wheeler: Well I support you, don't I? I work ten hours a day at a job I can't stand!

April Wheeler: You don't have to!

Frank Wheeler: But I have the backbone not to run away from my responsibilities!

April Wheeler: The truth is, we just need something different. You know, we're not getting any younger and we don't want life to just pass us by.

Frank Wheeler: Have you been to Paris?

April Wheeler: I've never really been anywhere.

Frank Wheeler: Well, maybe I'll take you with me then, huh? I'm going back the first chance I get, I tell you. People are alive there. Not like here.

Frank Wheeler: Sweetheart, what are you talking about? Where are we going to live?

April Wheeler: Paris!

Frank Wheeler: What?

April Wheeler: You always said it was the only place you'd ever been that you wanted to go back to. The only place that was worth living. So, why don't we go there?

Frank Wheeler: You're serious?

April Wheeler: Yes! What's stopping us?

Frank Wheeler: What's stopping us? Well, I can think of a number of different things.

This is another one those movies that really influenced me.  The moral of it:  You better be living.
