Great Scene from "Garden State"

I love the TV show Scrubs, mostly the main guy - Dr. Dorian (sp?) and his mentor, the manic dude with the curly blonde hair - he's my favorite, fucking hilarious. ANYWAY, Zach Braff is the main guy and he wrote and directed a movie called Garden State which was pretty fucking excellent, I just watched it tonight.

I took the time to write out one of the scenes where he and Natalie Portman are in a pool having a conversation because he can't swim...

You know that point in your life that you realize that the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though have someplace you put your shit, that idea of home is gone.

(she says - "I still feel at home in my house.")

You'll see one day when you move out - it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. It's like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist.

I mean, it's like this rite of passage - you know? You won't ever have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know - for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea.

You know, maybe that's all family really is...group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

No. Fucking. Shit. Bravo. Well said. Kudos. And the award goes to...Zach Braff.

Venti and I liked that scene a lot. For me it just so perfectly described how I feel in my life right now - or have for years and years. I could identify with his character pretty well, too - being so fogged up on antidepressants and tranquilizers that you can't feel anything at all anymore - not even pain.
