The Only Living Boy in New York
Movie Quote Quiz

Judith Webb: You know, the farthest distance in the world, is between how it is and how you thought it was gonna be.

Thomas Webb: And eventually I came up with a collection of essays which I called Mary Jane vs. Everything, which I was incredibly proud of. And, you know, I showed them to my Dad.
Johanna: What did Ethan say?
Thomas Webb: "Serviceable."
Johanna: Ouch.

Ethan Webb: I want you to move from the lower east side. Why do you insist on living in the farthest corner away from us. I think it's intentional. I think it's almost hurtful.

George also has his glass raised (we see it in foreground when Thomas explains himself) but it's on the table in the wider angle. (00:11:20)
