Scene from the movie “Up In The Air“. Anna Kendrick gets dumped by text-message and gets advice on love by George Clooney and Vera Farmiga. quotes: NATALIE When I was sixteen, I thought by twenty three, I would be married, maybe have a kid... Corner office by day, entertaining at night. I was supposed to be driving a Grand Cherokee by now. ALEX Yeah, well life can underwhelm you that way. NATALIE I mean, where did you think you'd be by... ALEX It doesn't work that way. RYAN At a certain point, you stop with the deadlines. ALEX They can be a little counter-productive. NATALIE I don't want to say anything that's... anti-feminist. I mean, I really appreciate everything your generation did for me. ALEX It was our pleasure. RYAN Well done. NATALIE But sometimes it feels like no matter how much success I have, it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy. ALEX You really thought this guy was the one? NATALIE I could have made it work. He really fit the bill. RYAN The bill? NATALIE White collar. College grad. Loves dogs. Likes funny movies. Six foot one. Brown hair. Kind eyes. Works in finance but is Outdoorsy, you know, on the weekends. I always imagined he'd have a single syllable name like Matt or John or... Dave. In a perfect world, he drives a Four Runner and the only thing he loves more than me is his golden lab. Oh... and a nice smile. How about you? ALEX Let me think. You know, by the time you're thirty four, all the physical requirements are pretty much out the window. I mean you secretly pray he'll be taller than you. Not an asshole would be nice? Just someone who enjoys my company. Comes from a good family - 'Cuz you don't think about that when you're younger. Someone who wants kids... Likes kids... Wants kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids... Oh, please let him earn more money than I do. You might not understand that now, but believe me, you will one day. Otherwise that's a recipe for disaster. Hopefully some hair on his head...? But even that is not a deal-breaker these days And a nice smile... Yeah, a nice smile just might do it. NATALIE Wow. That was depressing. I should just date women. ALEX Tried it. We're no picnic ourselves. NATALIE I don't mind being married to my career, and I don't expect it to hold me in bed as I fall asleep. I just don't want to settle. ALEX You're young. Right now you see settling as some sort of failure. NATALIE It is. By definition. ALEX Don't worry, by the time someone is right for you, it won't feel like settling... And the only person left to judge you will be the twenty three year old girl with a target on your back.
