Quote #10
ALVY: This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; you know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs.
Here's how important this quote is, Shmooper: We filed it under two different themes. The egg joke sums up the whole idea of the movie—that love is absurd, but we're willing to put ourselves through its highs and its lows because, ultimately, we need it.
