But when the beautiful but complicated Isabel joins the autism support group he leads, his life - and his heart - are turned upside down.

Quotes:
Donald Morton: I'm late, which is ironic, because I started out 9 hours and 23 minutes early.
Gregory: Can I give you some advice?::Donald Morton: Can I humanly stop you?::Gregory: Stick with the group. Compared to us, you're a god. And, uh, next to Isabelle, which you will *never* be again, you don't come off so hot.
Donald Morton: Excuse me. Do you know when the next bus, uh 217, runs?::Man at bus stop: Sorry.::Donald Morton: I'm chasing someone.::Man at bus stop: By bus?::Donald Morton: Well, it's important.::Man at bus stop: Important enough to take the bus?::Donald Morton: Yeah. My girlfriend left me because I wanted to get married and she wanted to stay just friends.::Man at bus stop: Ah. The slower this chase, the better.::Donald Morton: Yeah.
Isabelle Sorenson: All this time, and you didn't call.::Donald Morton: I was gonna call.::Isabelle Sorenson: You were?::Donald Morton: Well just to tell you that I wasn't gonna call so that you wouldn't be aggravated, sitting around waiting and wondering when I was::Isabelle Sorenson: gonna call?::Donald Morton: Yeah. But in the end I figured that forcing myself into your life was probably not right. I would always do that. So the only nice thing I had left to give was just not to call.::Isabelle Sorenson: I hated you for not calling. Because you were always gonna be there, and when you weren't, it was as if you didn't love me anymore.::Donald Morton: So go home, I'll call ya.
Donald Morton: People with Asperger's want contact with other people very much; we're just pathetically clueless at it, that's all.
Donald Morton: Turns out you can't control people.::Donald Morton: Or even predict them.::Donald Morton: Numbers are different.::Donald Morton: As I used to say, you can count on them.
Isabelle Sorenson: You can't disappoint me, Because whatever you are is exactly what I want.
Wallace: After everything she told me, and checking on your excellent record in college, I'm wondering why you choose to drive a taxi for a living.::Donald Morton: At my interview with IBM after I graduated college, they asked me what my plans were, and I said, "Probably go to McDonalds for a 12-piece McNugget and two cheeseburgers, and then do my laundry."::Wallace: Did they laugh, at least?::Donald Morton: They smiled and said they'd call me. They didn't.
Isabelle Sorenson: Be my friend Donald, be my best friend, please, because I really need you. I always felt like you wanted us to get married or something.::Donald Morton: I never said that.::Isabelle Sorenson: Not with words. But instead of that, do you want to just be my friend?::Donald Morton: Without the sex?::Isabelle Sorenson: Without the pressure. My friendship is all I have to give. Do you want it?
Isabelle Sorenson: Don't - don't condescend to these women, they're no crazier that I am.::Gracie: Yes we are!::Isabelle Sorenson: I'm weird, but I'm not strange.::Donald Morton: You're right, this isn't a matter of confusion, it's a matter of... discord. [Inappropriate change of subject:] That's a nice sweater!
