How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Requiem for a Dream.
Quote #4
SARA: I don't need a present. Just have a baby.
Sara's dream is to have her family back. With her husband dead and her son out of the picture, the only way she thinks she can have a family is with a grandchild. Did she think this through? Harry and Marion would probably be awful parents, and raising her grandchild would cut into Sara's TV time.
Quote #5
HARRY: What is the big deal about being on television? Those pills you're taking will kill you before you ever get on, for Chrissake.
Sara also has a dream to be liked and be on TV. As the caretaker in her family, she was used to being the center of attention. But with her husband and son gone, she's lonely. Someone get this woman on Instagram, the app of choice for those desperate for attention.
Quote #6
MARION: I love you, Harry. You make me feel like a person. Like I'm me. And I'm beautiful.
HARRY: You are beautiful. You're the most beautiful girl in the world. You're my dream.
Notice the disconnect here? Harry reiterates that his dream is Marion. Marion's dream, on the other hand, appears to be herself. She wants to feel beautiful. She should join Sara on Instagram.
