Susanna [Winona Ryder]: I'm ambivalent. In fact that's my new favorite word.
Dr. Wick [Vanessa Redgrave]: 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.
