Glenn Close, Fatal Attraction (1987).
Fatal Attraction
- Dan: You’re so sad. You know that, Alex? Lonely and very sad.
- Alex: Don’t you ever pity me, you smug bastard.
- Dan: I’ll pity you… I’ll pity you. I’ll pity you because you’re sick.
- Alex: Why? Because I won’t allow you treat me like some slut you can just bang a couple of times and throw in the garbage?
