When you are at the lowest in your life you see the truth in everything and the joy of nothing.

imo it's the best scene of the film cause u can see how he depressed and feel his painful situation atm. and Joseph played so good.

Depressed people are so enlightened.

The most underrated monologue of all time !

One thing that I just realized some days ago watching this movie with my mom was the Santa behind Tom, on the most emotional part of this scene. In beginning, on the first karaoke scene, he tells to Summer that " It's love. It's not Santa Claus".

"Romantic" version of "“We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”

He quit and then found a cave in Gotham city

this scene literally made me cry its like our down moments the times when got burn out of the stress and pressure of living in this world

I did this monologue for my theater class lol never forget

Words like 'love'. That don't mean anything..

Did this monologue for my speech class after a breakup. Got a standing ovation

If YOU REALLY want to tell someone how you feel: mom, dad, gf, bf, friend, sibling, DO NOT use the word LOVE. Try to use other words besides love and you'll really be diving deep into your feelings. It's difficult at first but with practice and new words you'll truly understand how you feel, or not feel. LOVE has so many definitions that it's now a generic way of feeling. Use other words that pinpoint exactly how you feel; only then will you be able to communicate your true emotions.

The lady at the beginning is the voice actor for Naruto

I like the slow handclap at the end. Cliched emotional speech and walkout sabotaged by a failed cliche.

I performed this monologue back in high school theater

Usually I don't like this kind of character monologue in movies but Joseph Gordon Lewitt really nails this so perfectly and ever word he speaks is absolutely true, as if everything prior to this scene was building to this, and that's why it lands so well.

Very red pilled speech. I mean when I watched this when I was younger I thought Tom was just venting out his frustrations and was acting on his emotions due to his depression over Summer, but watching it again now it's a lot more than that. He makes a pretty compelling argument that love and relationships are nothing more but a product thats been romanticized into something it's not by society like the movies, tv shows, pops songs, his job. It's not about hearts and roses it's about what's sells, and he was right.

He just learned what Summer learned well before they both met.

Is there an "I quit" greetings card I could buy somewhere?

...and this one says "BELIEVE IT"

When you hit your lowest point, you’re open to the greatest change.

Lol Naruto's voice actor in the beginning.

So I wanted to look up this video and HOLY SHIT!!!! AGENT COULSON?!?!?!?!

I always come back to this scene after a breakup. And honestly I just give up..i truly lost faith in the word. Like..it just doesn’t mean anything nowadays

“If somebody give me this card, Mr Vance, I would eat it”😂

Still remember how my ex got angry with when I told that she should try to speak for herself and not let some random social media page to decide for her

poor rhoda

I know it was just a movie, but he was right, the character was right. There's enough bullshit in the world. Say what you mean. Buy a fucking blank card.

"If someone gave me this card Mr. Vance, I would eat it" Lmfao never fails to make me crack

To this day,we haven't heard from pickles ever again

"Words like "love", that don't mean anything." poor Tom.

After I saw this movie in 2008 I ALWAYS buy blank dollar store cards and actually write how I feel BUT do a rough draft on note book paper first 😊

I just love how patient the boss was in this scene. He could've snapped at Tom but instead, he let Tom say whatever he wante to say.

People overlook some really fantastic acting on behalf of the boss here.

0:02 She's the English VA for Naruto.

PREACH TOM I CAN RELATE SO HARD PPPPRREEEAAAACCCHHHH

This one says:"GO FOR IT DATTEBAYO!:

I cry at this each time. I seem to in same rut.

That failed slow clap 🤣

This scene really made me cry and realise the pain of Hansen

"These are lies, we're liars"

He's actually spot on with the Congratulations on the new baby bit. Once people settle into a domestic routine with babies and kids and all that shit, they become completely unrecognizable from their former selves. They get so caught up with their own lives that even if a miracle happened and you got the opportunity to spend some time with them, all they talk about is their fkn bathroom renovations, their children's new activities, and their dissatisfaction with their partner. The personality they once oozed is gone, their spark and lust for life and adventure is seemingly just snuffed out. Completely. That's been my experience anyway. With every single one of them. And even if you get some one on one time and talk about hanging out again, hitting the gym for a workout like the old days, or doing anything remotely interesting, within a couple of days, it's clear that they've completely deleted the conversation from their mind. There's no genuine drive, no follow through. Their minds have become 100% engrossed in their own tiny little world and they can't even seem to see how isolated, pathetic and desperate they've become. I don't understand why people choose to shut themselves off from the world like that. I guess unless I have kids of my own some day I'll never understand. I just don't know how you can possibly be happy to blow your best friends off like they're nothing, like they never meant anything at all, and just entangle yourself entirely with one single other person. Nothing wrong with a partner, and being in love, in a r'ship etc but to spend every waking minute of the rest of your life either at work or with one single other person..... It just seems unfathomably boring and empty and lifeless to me. It's not supposed to be that way. It's unnatural, unhealthy. And it makes perfect sense to me why I know so many people locked into that domestic 'bliss' who think about killing themselves on a regular basis. But they are doing it to themselves. If you cut your own balls off and happily hand them over to another person, allowing ALL of your decision making to be done by committee, you only have yourself to blame. And if you've done this, then just grow some fkiing new ones, and GET A LIFE!! Before you end up hanging at the end of a rope. The isolated, nuclear family paradigm is NOT - and never will be - the wonderful bliss that we've been conned into believing that it will. It's pure brainwashing and just another way for the super wealthy to get even wealthier. Wake up people. Take charge of your life and live it exactly the way you want to.

This is a well-written monologue and there's a lot of sincerity in JGL's delivery. But still.....TOM DID IT TO HIMSELF!!!

He then trained as a pilot and was the co-pilot during that fateful 7500 movie when his plane got hijacked. Poor Tom, lost his heart and hurt his hands.

Pickles "going for it" is inspirational, if you don't think about it too much.

It's like he knew everything. I thought like him too. And I still is.

COULSON LIVES !!!!!!!!

I guess I just figured, why make something disposable like a building when you can make something that lasts forever, like a greeting card.

One of my favourite lines in any movie is ‘there’s enough bullshit in the world without my help!’

I can't help myself but to hear "handsome" when he says "Hansen" lol

The best scene from this movie.

Holy shit that lady's voice at the behinning was Naruto's english VA 💀

Where are all my single fellas at watching this for a cathartic release 🙋🏻‍♂️

Let's see now: Yes, there's romantic love - like the god of love Eros/Cupid (though granted he and Aphrodite/Venus were also seen as personifications of sexual love and desire, and we all know that sex doesn't equal love - I've known that since I was 12 when I watched 'Down with Love' (released in 2004) ). But according to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, there were at least 6 other types of love, let me check: 1. Agape: love of mankind 2. Storge : family love, natural love 3. Philia: brotherly love - like between friends 4. Mania: manic, obsessive love (not such a good one but can still happen) 5. Ludos: playful, ridiculous love, not really serious, can range from a light-hearted fling to two little kids shyly holding hands because they like each other. 6. Philautia: self-love, dangerous when it becomes self obsession but healthy when it's love and acceptance of yourself, helping you maybe to go onto other kinds of love or to make you happy even if you don't find romantic love. So that Tom is my answer to what 'love' means. Because while you're up there saying that we just go to that word to avoid saying what we really mean, you forget how many ways that word can apply to so many people. If you want to say that 'romantic love doesn't exist', then say 'romantic love', because you're not as good as denying the fact that your friends and your sister clearly care about you enough, maybe even love you enough to sit there with you and listen to you while you talk and talk and go on and go on about everything that's gone wrong in your life because of this one break up after they were willing to sit there and listen to you talk about how amazing Summer is for weeks and weeks, even if it was just about how you two like the same type of music. And both then and now they clearly cared enough about you to tell you what they think, to give you some advice or even just a few words of caution about your relationship with her whether you were willing to listen to them or not. Because that's also what love is, when you love your family and your friend enough to talk to them or listen to them about their relationship or their personal problems even if that's all your relationship has become, you talking about yourself. And maybe you should consider showing that you care about them enough to try asking them about their love life or anyone they might like or just their life in general and talk to them about it rather than just talk about yourself the whole time. No, we should not dedicate our lives to finding 'the one' but that doesn't mean we should close our hearts off to even the possibility of romantic love. That's something we know Summer learns when she meets someone she wants to take a chance with enough to marry him because even though it might not work out, it still might, and there's nothing wrong with taking that chance. And just because someone has a break-up or people get divorced doesn't mean that an emotion doesn't exist, it just means that people make mistakes, that's what we do as people a lot, and most of the time we make mistakes where it has nothing to do with love or relationships. And that's something Tom and Summer both learn throughout this movie. And just because we haven't yet found romantic love doesn't mean that the word love has no meaning, because there's always love of friends, love of family, love of doing something we're good at or love of something we enjoy doing, love of a pet, love of scenery, of art or music or movies, or of food or of one specific place. Yes it becomes dangerous if we always throw it around with no meaning, but that doesn't mean that it has no meaning for anyone or anything.

One of my favorite monologues lol

i cry everytime i see this

Robin quits from Coulson's job?

I agree with him so much

Every dialogue hits hard for me❤

2:50 McKenzie tried his best to save Tom's job. 🤣 That's what BFFs do. 💓

1:07 - 1:17 At this timestamp. I've seen so many inspirational/self help/motivational quotes on facebook or instagram. I think do theese users share the posts from that page let people off the hook to say how they really feel and yeah I know that social media is a very toxic environment but there's a point (in my opinion), for them (the movie) its cards but for me is quotes on a picture. Does it let them off the hook. Does the person should post his/her understanding about the quote to be clear rather than emojis? When he said "we provide the service that lets them off the hook" change that to "we provide the CONTENT that lets them off the hook" What do you think? That's how i think (for now). How bout yours? I wanna hear. NO HATE BROS & SIS. Well yes i should leave them alone with those but there should be more context to what are people sharing and for their understanding of the quote. Please comment. Enlighten me on a positive note.

I miss seeing this movie! 😭

I hate when people tell me to convince myself of what they are saying when they actually want me to say the words they are saying

Okay, so I'm not saying that this is the best way to express it, but he's got a point

the only time that naruto didn’t use his “talk-no jutsu”

i actually did this at my previous job. same situation

I was there when I broke with the girl whom I loved

Hold on I think the lady who plays Rhoda is my English professor lmaooo

Agent Colson on his downtime

I think we should appreciate pickles the cat more

Lol I laugh every time I see Pickles going for it and then being a dead cat. So true lol.

I quit...

I can only hear Naruto about the cats lol

He’s got a fucking point though

I love Pickles the cat

But this scene needs to be understood in the context of the rest of the movie. I think Tom (Joseph Gordon Levitt) here was wrong. He's blaming the world for using greeting cards as a scapegoat to truly expressing their feelings. But in the context, Tom has just broken up with Summer (Zoe Deschanel). He's super depressed and he takes out his frustration by condescendingly "exposing" his workmates like some sort of emo edge-lord. But Tom isn't the good guy in this movie. He's a bit of a dick. He's selfish and refuses to take responsibilities for his emotions. Summer clearly told him the rules of the relationship before they started. He fell in love with the idea of Summer (the manic, pixie dream girl) and when Summer didn't love him the way he felt he was entitled to, he blames the world. Greeting cards aren't bad. Shit, if anyone thinks greeting cards are supposed to convey the deepest emotions, then both the sender and the recipient need to wake up and realise that this was a piece of paper that had a corporate, generic message printed on it. The greeting card never masqueraded to be any more. It's on us if we put false expectations on it. We fool ourselves. In love. In how we communicate to each other. Don't blame the world for giving you a way out. Blame yourself for not writing your own messages or having the honest conversations.

This is exactly what I would say.

Yes...that is Naruto

That’s sweet, ain’t love grand

This shit was cringey when he stood up, great scene

rhoda aka naruto

I’m Tom but summer doesn’t exist

From a marketing standpoint, not a bad pitch 🤔

Cards are EXCELLENT

A simple "I quit thank you for the job" would have sufficed.

all Summer background aside, you gotta admit Rhoda's card was shit (no disrespect)

That's enough bullshit in the world without my help that's hit hard🔥🔥🔥🔥

Goddammit. I've officially hit this point in my life. Fuck.

Wait, was the cat lady the voice of Naruto?

1:02

Naruto was in this movie!

I need the music that is in the background in this scene :(( plss

Man i love this movie but i just can't see Vance (Clark Gregg) as Vance, it's Coulson, like stop it's him he's just undercover 100%

Directors of this movie played safe by contradicting their theory in the end of the movie or you can say nobody can be called perfect of their thoughts of in certain things in life.

What's playing the music on video ? Could somebody tell us

SAVAGE

naruto talking about cats and pickles lol

Bro damn naruto was just tryna show you her cats dawg. Chill out

I still dont get what exactly this guy is doing in this company. Is he a poet or a writer?

2:50😂😂
