Favorite Scenes - Adaptation.

John LaRoche: So I got married and me and my beautiful wife – now ex-wife – the bitch – open up a nursery. People started coming out of the woodwork to ask me stuff. Admire my plants and admire me. I think some people were really spending time with me because they were lonely. (pause) You know why I like plants? Susan Orlean: Huh uh.
John LaRoche: Because they're so mutable. Adaptation is a profound process. Means you figure out how to thrive in the world.
Susan Orlean: Yeah, but it's easier for plants. I mean, they have no memory. They just move on to whatever's next. With a person though, adapting is almost shameful. It's like running away.



Also love this, one of my favorite previews ever.
