Have any of you guys seen Imaginary Heros with Emile Hersch?

I rented it earlier today and just finished watching it. Man is that an intense movie. It was amazing. I loved it. There was this scene that I fell in love with though. I checked on IMDB to see if they had quotes from that scene, and of course not. So, I wrote it down (took me forever, and will probably take me forever to type out)... here it is.

(note: Tim is Emile Hersch, the main character, Penny is his sister and they're at the park smoking durring this convo)

Tim: What am I going to do?
Penny: Start with passing me the joing.
Tim: In life? What am I gonna do for the rest of my life? All of a sudden, it matters.
Penny: Well, Tim. The secret to the success of life is to find something you love, is there something that you love?
Tim: Yes.
Penny: Good. Then you have to do that the rest of your life. And you better hope to hell you're good at it, because if you're not, then you'll probably fail.
Tim: How do you know if you're good at it?
Penny: Well, people tell you.
[long pause]
Penny: Is there such a thing as a human heart, now that is a better question.
Tim: Well, if you listen closely.... you can hear them breaking.
