Two sisters find their already strained relationship challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide with Earth.
Justine: The earth is evil. We don't need to grieve for it. Claire: What? Justine: Nobody will miss it. Claire: But where would Leo grow? Justine: All I know is, life on earth is evil. Claire: Then maybe life somewhere else. Justine: But there isn't. Claire: How do you know? Justine: Because I know things. Claire: Oh yes, you always imagined you did. Justine: I know we're alone. Claire: I don't think you know that at all. Justine: 678. The bean lottery. Nobody guessed the amount of beans in the bottle. Claire: No, that's right. Justine: But I know. 678. Claire: Well, perhaps. But what does that prove? Justine: That I know things. And when I say we're alone, we're alone. Life is only on earth, and not for long.
Justine: I smile, and I smile, and I smile.
[last lines] Justine: [to Leo and Claire as Melancholia approaches] Hold my hand. Close your eyes.
Justine: Life is only on Earth. And not for long.
Leo: [reading] It is a planet that has been hiding behind the Sun. Now it passes by us. It's called flyby.
Justine: You know what I think of your plan. I think that it's a piece of shit.
John: You'd better be goddamn happy. Justine: Yes, I should be. I really should be. John: Do you have any idea how much this party cost me? A ballpark figure? Justine: No. I don't. Should I? John: Yes, I think you should. A great deal of money. A huge amount of money. In fact for most people, an arm and a leg. Justine: I hope you feel it's well spent. John: Well, that depends whether or not we have a deal. Justine: A deal? John: Yes, a deal. That you be happy. Justine: Yes, of course. Of course we have a deal.
John: [to Justine] You better be goddamn happy.
John: Those bitches have locked themselves in their bathrooms and now they're taking a bath.
Wedding planner: She ruined my wedding! I will not look at her!
Justine: I was just thinking - what if instead we try and sell you to the public, Jack? Well then, surprisingly, I'd arrive right back where I started from - at nothing. Tim: "Nothing." It's not such a bad tagline, Jack. Jack: Would my newly pledged A.D. please expand a little on her thoughts of the tagline? Justine: Nothing is too much for you, Jack. I hate you and your firm so deeply I couldn't find the words to describe it. You are a despicable power-hungry little man, Jack. Jack: Is that a resignation? Because they aren't too many jobs out there, I tell you.
Gaby: I myself hate marriages. Especially when they involve some of my closest family members.
Justine: You want to meet on the terrace, and sip wine, the three of us? Claire: It would make me happy. Justine: Do you know what I think of your plan? Claire: No. I was hoping that you might like it. Justine: I think it's a piece of shit. Claire: Please, Justine. I just want it to be nice... Justine: Nice? Why don't we meet on the fucking toilet? Claire: Fine, then - let's not... Justine: You're damn right let's not! Claire: I really hate you sometimes...
John: Gaby, I'm sorry to disturb you, but we're ready to cut the cake. Gaby: [behind the bathroom door] When Justine took her first crap on the potty, I wasn't there. When she had her first sexual intercourse, I wasn't there. So give me a break, please, with all your fucking rituals.
Michael: This could have been a lot different. Justine: Yes. But, Michael... what did you expect?
Justine: I know things.
Leo: Dad says there's nothing to do then. Nowhere to hide. Justine: If your dad said that, then he's forgotten about something. He's forgotten about the magic cave.
Tim: The way I see it, you're now short of a boss and a husband, could I, in all humility, offer my services? You have the ideas. I have the head for business. We could be the perfect couple. We've had good sex. Justine: I don't think that's a very good idea. Tim: No. No.
Justine: But I tried, Claire. Claire: You did. I know you did.
[crying into her meatloaf] Justine: It tastes like ashes!
Justine: I'm frightened, Mom. I have trouble walking properly. Gaby: You can still wobble, I see. So just wobble the hell out of here. Stop dreaming, Justine. Justine: I'm scared. Gaby: We all are, sweetie. Just forget it. Get the hell out of here.
Jack: Too bad about Tim. Justine: What about Tim? Jack: That he got fired. he didn't last many hours in the business, but then again, it's a rather unpredictable one. You're a king one day and beggar the next. [to Tim] Jack: So, you go right back to wherever you came from, right, buddy?
Justine: [to Claire] I'm happy that you're happy.
[first lines] Michael: Sir. Eh... [looking backward] Michael: Yeah, you're good. You can back up a little more, if you want. I think you need the... I think you need that extra... Justine: [laughing] I don't think he can hear you. Michael: Sir. Sir, can you hear me up there? [fiddling with controls] Michael: Do you copy, sailor? He's in a different county, I think that's... Justine: [laughing]
