Arthur quotes from Six Feet Under

Arthur

I could never send you poo! Ever!

Ruth

Oh, Arthur, hi.

Arthur

Hi Ruth. Did you have a good time stalking me this morning?

Ruth

What are you talking about?

Arthur

Oh, please. If you like following people so much, why don't you join the CIA or the Moonies? Or why don't you go to the actual fucking moon and mind your own moon business, you … freak!

Arthur

Your friendship has so much value for me. Anything more would be unprofessional.

Ruth

I know, I know.

Arthur

Please don't kiss me again.

Ruth

I never will, never.

Arthur

Friends?

Ruth

Friends. [Arthur moves forward to hug Ruth, but she kisses him. Arthur pulls away surprised and runs out of the room. Some children run into the kitchen. Ruth places a tray of snacks on the table] You'll have to help yourselves. I'm out of control.

Ruth

I care for you, Arthur. I care for your music. I care for your hankies. And I won't deny it because that would be a lie. But if you want me to leave, I will, because that's your choice. Because I choose you.

Arthur

There's something I forgot to tell you about Petrarch? He started the Renaissance. [They embrace.]

Ruth

Arthur, have you ever had sex?

Arthur

I think I have … in a sense.

Arthur

I have some kerchiefs and some undershirts to do. I hear some people call them wife-beaters, which I think is rather funny.

Ruth

There's nothing funny about beating your wife.
