Leonardo DiCaprio's memorable dialogues from Marvin's Room 

“Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.”

As mentioned above Leonardo's character in Marvin's Room is that of a problematic teenager, who sees no good in anything. He is not very gregarious with his mother. There comes a time in the Jerry Zaks movie Marvin's Room, when Hank is tired of the way his life is shaping up. Nor he is happy about his company, or the things he goes through. That's when he says these lines, that he wishes he wasn't Hank and be someone else.

Yeah we should do it again in like another 17 years.

When Bessie sees his young and dapper nephew Hank for the first time in 17 years, she expresses her gratitude to him by telling him how glad she is to meet him after a span of 17 years. That's when Leonardo DiCaprio tells her in a funny way that they should plan their meeting after 17 years again. This is one of the most hysterically funny scenes in Marvin's Room featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Diane Keaton.

I didn't even knew I had an Aunt Bessie.

This scene between Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep and her onscreen son Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the major highlights of Marvin's Room. As for the first time Leonardo DiCaprio gets to know that he has an aunt called Bessie.  The two have a little bit of banter in this scene, but later they Hank apologises his mother burning her house. The story of Marvin's Room takes a twist from here, as mother and son go on a road trip to see her.
