“She was clearly competitive. And this is something I see in healthy Threes is they’re competitive, and they want to win, but they don’t care about whether or not the other person loses.” - Mario Sikora [33:55]
“And I also saw how much of a good friend she was. And that’s my experience with a lot of Threes as well, really, really good friends.” - María José Munita [35:01]
“‘Gone Girl’ explores this in way more depth, but a big theme in this movie and in a lot of movies about Threes is the emptiness of accomplishments if those accomplishments are not done coming from the heart.” - TJ Dawe [1:10:37]
