Plot: Elizabeth's heart is broken. For solace, she drops in late at night a few times at Jeremy's diner for blueberry pie a la mode; they talk. Once, he watchers her sleep, her head on the counter. Abruptly, she leaves New York City to get away from her pain. She works a couple of jobs in Memphis. There, a heart-broken cop is drinking himself into oblivion, his ex occasionally showing up where he drinks and Lizzy works. Then, she's in Nevada, working at a casino where she uses her savings (she wants a car) to stake Leslie, a busted gambler, in a high rollers' game. After, Beth drives Leslie to Vegas where Leslie's estranged father lives. Broken relationships. What about Jeremy?

Quotes:

Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the Blueberry Pie?::Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the Blueberry Pie, just people make other choices. You can't blame the Blueberry Pie, it's just... no one wants it.::Elizabeth: Wait! I want a piece.

Elizabeth: Why do you keep them? You should just throw them out.::Jeremy: No. No, I couldn't do that.::Elizabeth: Why not?::Jeremy: If I threw these keys away then those doors would be closed forever and that shouldn't be up to me to decide, should it?::Elizabeth: I guess I'm just looking for a reason.::Jeremy: From my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing, and other times there's no reason to be found.::Elizabeth: Everything has a reason.::Jeremy: Hmm. It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished... but there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched.::Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?::Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. Just... people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie, just... no one wants it.

Elizabeth: [wiping her tears] How do you say goodbye to someone you can't imagine living without? I didn't say goodbye. [pause] I didn't say anything. I just walked away.

[last lines]::Elizabeth: It took me nearly a year to get here. It wasn't so hard to cross that street after all, it all depends on who's waiting for you on the other side.

Katya: Sometimes, even if you have the keys those doors still can't be opened. Can they?::Jeremy: Even if the door is open, the person you're looking for may not be there, Katya.

Jeremy: A few years ago, I had a dream. It began in the summer and was over by the following spring. In between, there were as many unhappy nights as there were happy days. Most of them took place in this café. And then one night, a door slammed and the dream was over.

Leslie: You're hopeless...::Elizabeth: You're hopeless too!

Elizabeth: When you're gone, all that is left behind are the memories you created in other people's lives or just a couple of items on a bill.

Leslie: Sometimes your rhythm's off, you read the person right but still do the wrong thing.::Elizabeth: Because you trust them?::Leslie: Because you can't even trust yourself.

Elizabeth: The last few days, I've been learning not to trust people and I'm glad I've failed. Sometimes we depend on other people as a mirror to define us and tell us who we are and each reflection makes me like myself a little more.

Quotes:

Jeffrey Pelt: Mr. Ambassador, you have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic right now. Your aircraft has dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. Now, shall we dispense with the bull?::Ambassador Lysenko: You make your point as delicately as ever, Mr. Pelt.

Helicopter Pilot: Fuel status says we turn back now.::Jack Ryan: Wait a minute. Fuel status? You have a reserve, don't you?::Helicopter Pilot: Yes, sir. I've got a ten minute reserve... but I'm not allowed to invade that except in time of war.::Jack Ryan: Listen, mister, if you don't get me on board that goddamn submarine, that just might be what you'll have! You got me? Now you have ten more minutes' worth of fuel, we stay here ten more minutes!

Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?::Captain Ramius: I suppose.::Capt. Vasili Borodin: No papers?::Captain Ramius: No papers, state to state.::Capt. Vasili Borodin: Well then, in winter I will live in... Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives.::Captain Ramius: Oh, at least.

Watson: Y'know, I seen me a mermaid once. I even seen me a shark eat an octopus. But I ain't never seen no phantom Russian submarine.

Capt. Bart Mancuso: How did you know that his next turn would be to starboard?::Jack Ryan: I didn't. I had a 50/50 chance. I needed a break. Sorry.::Capt. Bart Mancuso: That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

Captain Ramius: We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll... while we conduct missile drills.

Jeffrey Pelt: It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador.

[a torpedo is racing toward them]::Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact, 20 seconds.::Captain Ramius: [to Ryan] What books?::Jack Ryan: Pardon me?::Captain Ramius: What books did you write?::Jack Ryan: I wrote a biography of, of Admiral Halsey, called "The Fighting Sailor", about, uh, naval combat tactics...::Captain Ramius: I know this book!::Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact...::Captain Ramius: Your conclusions were all wrong, Ryan...::Capt. Vasili Borodin: ...10 seconds.::Captain Ramius: ...Halsey acted stupidly.

Captain Davenport: What's he going to do, sail into New York, pop the hatch, and say "Here I am"?::Jack Ryan: It might be just that simple, yes.

Captain Ramius: You're afraid of our fleet. Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us one chance in three. More tea anyone?
