From the movie: Play it again Sam

Sam (played by Woody Allen; says this to a stranger woman at an art gallery): It's a lovely Jackson Pollock.

Woman: Yes, it is.

Sam: What does it say to you?

Woman: It restates the negativeness of the universe. The hideous, lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness. The predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror and degradation forming a useless straightjacket in a black absurd cosmos.

Sam: What are you doing Saturday night?

Woman: Committing suicide.

Sam: What about Friday night?

Woman walks away.
