Dr. Wick : Your progress has plateaued. Does that disappoint you?
Susanna : I'm ambivalent. In fact that's my new favorite word.
Dr. Wick : Do you know what that means, ambivalence?
Susanna : I don't care.
Dr. Wick : If it's your favorite word, I would've thought you would...
Susanna : It *means* I don't care. That's what it means.
Dr. Wick : On the contrary, Susanna. Ambivalence suggests strong feelings... in opposition. The prefix, as in "ambidextrous", means "both". The rest of it, in Latin, means "vigor". The word suggests that you are torn... between two opposing courses of action.
Susanna : Will I stay or will I go?
Dr. Wick : Am I sane... or, am I crazy?
Susanna : Those aren't courses of action.
Dr. Wick : They can be, dear - for some.
Susanna : Well, then - it's the wrong word.
Dr. Wick : No. I think it's perfect.
