You'll make a great lawyer or politican with a tool like that, but not using it is one thing that makes you a great Erin. =) Wow, that was straight out of a Barney episode, adderall makes me so sentimental...
Anyway, this is a fun quote. It reminds me of a brilliantly filmed scene in "Alfie" when he fucks his best friend's girl is opening up to him about her relationship problems with increasing tension throughout the conversation. The mood is gritty and slick, because they're chilling in a bar after closing time. Right befoe they kiss, Alfie's voice-over reasons that pleasuring his friend's is doing the two of them a favor in relieving her of stress and uplifting her mood (something like that). But after after they slow-motion collapse missionary-style onto a pool table he says, "Lately I find that even lying to myself comes easy." Then we follow the smoke of their cigarettes slowly towards the ceiling and the screen fades to black. It's pretty brilliant, you should see it.
Alfie was a very good film. I've always enjoyed Jude Law's acting. If you liked Alfie, you'll probably like Closer (starring Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen, and Julia Roberts). Interwoven relationships based on deception, even with one's self. I highly recommend it.
