Quote #7
ALICIA: Rosen said to call if you try and kill me or anything.
John thinks that Alicia has left him to go to her mother's, where she would be safe from John's volatility, but instead she just sees Dr. Rosen off and returns. She's going to stick by him, even though it's…well, kind of dangerous.
Quote #8
JOHN: Is there any chance that you could ignore what I just did?
HANSEN: Of course, what are old friends for?
When John goes to ask Hansen for some help getting back into Princeton's academic communities, he has a little difficulty keeping his delusions at bay during the meeting. So, he asks Hansen to ignore that little blip in his behavior, and Hansen is a total sport about it.
Quote #9
JOHN: Oh, I see, so you came here to find out if I was crazy? Find out if I would screw everything up if I actually won? Dance around the podium, strip naked and squawk like a chicken, things of this nature?
THOMAS: Something like that, yes.
JOHN: Would I embarrass you? Yes, it is possible. You see, I am crazy. I take the newer medications, but I still see things that are not here. I just choose not to acknowledge them. Like a diet of the mind, I choose not to indulge certain appetites.
When a dude from the Nobel Prize committee comes sniffing around Princeton to make sure John is sane enough to accept the award without embarrassing everyone, John is up front about where he is with his recovery.
