With his wife’s disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent.

[first lines]
When I think of my wife, I always think of the back of her head. I picture cracking her lovely skull, unspooling her brain, trying to get answers. The primal questions of a marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?
Nick Dunne

You fucking cunt!
Nick Dunne
I’m the cunt you married. The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like. I’m not a quitter, I’m that cunt. I killed for you; who else can say that? You think you’d be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I’m it.
Amy Dunne
Fuck. You’re delusional. I mean, you’re insane, why would you even want this? Yes, I loved you and then all we did was resent each other, try to control each other. We caused each other pain.
Nick Dunne
That’s marriage.
Amy Dunne

I swear, you two are the most fucked up people I’ve ever known and I specialize in fucked up.
Tanner Bolt

[last lines]
What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?
Nick Dunne

We’re so cute. I wanna punch us in the face.
Amy Dunne

You ever hear the expression the simplest answer is often the correct one?
Officer Jim Gilpin
Actually, I have never found that to be true.
Detective Rhonda Boney

What’s the laptop for?
Amy Dunne
Laptopping!
Nick Dunne

[to Amy] You. Fucking. Bitch.
Nick Dunne

Everyone knows that ‘complicated’ is a code word for bitch.
Margo Dunne

Nick dunne took my pride and my dignity and my hope and my money. He took and took from me until I no longer existed. That’s murder.
Amy Dunne

Amazing fucking Amy is getting fucking married!
Amy Dunne

I’ve killed for you. Who else can say that?
Amy Dunne

[discussing what kind of wood item Nick is going to give to Amy for their 5th wedding anniversary, the “wood” anniversary] So what are you going to give her?
Margo Dunne
I don’t know, there’s nothing good for wood.
Nick Dunne
I know what you can do. You go home and fuck her brains out. Then you take your penis and smack her in the face with it, and you say, “There’s some wood, bitch!”
Margo Dunne

When two people love each other and they can’t make that work, that’s the real tragedy.
Amy Dunne

Whoever took her is bound to bring her back.
Margo Dunne

I will practice believing my husband loves me but I could be wrong.
Amy Dunne

Whatever they found, I think it’s safe to assume that it is very bad.
Tanner Bolt

Go, you’re my voice of reason. I need you with me on this.
Nick Dunne
Of course I’m with you. I was with you before we were even born.
Margo Dunne

[after seeing positive pregnancy test] I didn’t touch you!
Nick Dunne
You didn’t need to.
Amy Dunne
Bullshit! That notice of disposal, I have that. You threw it out.
Nick Dunne
The notice? Yes.
Amy Dunne
[rubs stomach]
I want a blood test! I want a paternity test!
Nick Dunne
I love tests.
Amy Dunne

Come home, Amy. I dare you.
Nick Dunne

You fucking cunt!
Nick Dunne
I’m the cunt you married! The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like. I’m not a quitter… I’m that cunt.
Amy Dunne

I’m so much happier now that I’m dead.
Amy Dunne

Your parents literally plagiarized your childhood?
Nick Dunne
No, they improved upon it, and then peddled it to the masses.
Amy Dunne

Want to test your marriage for weak spots? Add one recession, subtract two jobs. It’s surprisingly effective.
Amy Dunne

Boo hoo, I got laid off. Guess I’ll fuck a teenager.
Margo Dunne

You think you’d be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I’m it.
Amy Dunne

Life. I don’t remember the point.
Nick Dunne

I will drill you as if you were doing a deposition. What to say, what not to say.
Tanner Bolt
A trained monkey?
Margo Dunne
A monkey who doesn’t get the lethal injection.
Tanner Bolt

Octopus and Scrabble?
Desi Collings

Nick Dunne. You’re probably the most hated man in America right now. Did you kill your wife, Nick?
Sharon Schieber

Do you really want to be the couple that has a baby to save their marriage?
Nick Dunne

All I’m trying to do is being nice to the people who are volunteering to help find Amy.
Nick Dunne

When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. The shape of it, to begin with.
