Quotes from Happiness for Beginners on Netflix
Hugh: My mom thinks it’s like a self-fulfilling thing, you know? Say good things, good things will happen. If you say bad things, bad things happen.
Helen: Yes.
Hugh: I tried it with acting. You know, “I’m a good actor. I’m a good actor. I’m gonna get jobs. I’m Meryl Streep.” Only, it doesn’t work. I’m not Meryl Streep. I sell insurance.
Helen: I still feel like I’m missing some pretty pivotal information. It’s an experiential hiking course. You learn as you go.
Beckett: Here, this’ll help.
Helen: Okay. It’s just that I still feel a tad under-educated for a beginner hiker.
Beckett: It’s all in there. You’ll figure it out.
Helen: And what if I don’t?
Beckett: Then you’ll die.
Kaylee: Where do we po*p?
Beckett: We’ll helicopter you to base to po*p and p*e.
Jake: You know, all you talk about is how your breakup is lingering with you and it’s clinging to you, but that’s not what I see. I see you clinging to it, and to him.
Helen: Okay, just so you know, I don’t cling to anyone or any man, and I’m perfectly capable of talking to a person who used to be my husband without having some …
Jake: Sure. As long as that’s all it is, right?
Helen: Why do you sound like a jealous boyfriend right now?
Helen: What if the bear is rabid?
Beckett: If the bear is rabid, it’s all over.
Helen: What’s all over?
Hugh: Can’t the bear chew through the rope?
Beckett: Well, that is also very unlikely, but if a rabid bear is that persistent, you’re already dead and he’s not hungry anymore.
Happiness for Beginners Film Quotes
My name is Helen and I’m an English teacher. I live in Pittsburgh, and I’m here because I got a divorce. My ex and I broke up over a year ago. There was some infidelity and we’d actually been separated for a very long time before we got divorced. But it’s like a rash. You know, it clings to you, it kind of lingers with you, so … I think I want a reset. Yeah, you don’t realize it, but life really takes a toll. I had a miscarriage, long before we even got separated, so the family that I always wanted to have went to sh*t. And so, I am here because I want to stop breaking promises to myself, and I want to start keeping them, and so this … This is the first step of many. But I think by saying it out loud that I am going to mean it.
Duncan: You’re going to have, like, the most amazing time of your life. You’re going to get all the badges, make lots of friends.
Helen: This is an adult camping trip.
Duncan: Yes.
Helen: It’s not camp.
Duncan: Yes, archery badge.
Helen: No archery, no.
Hugh: Why did I come here?
Helen: You know, I think I just sort of got sick of being fed up with myself.
