Check out
Dialog from <eat pray love>
A:
you know what, this happens to people.
They fall in love in their 20s,
get married...
...do the granite countertop,
white-picket fence in their 30s...
...and somewhere they realize,
"This is not for me."
So they fail and they fall down,
they hurt like hell, they straighten up...
...and march their asses
to the shrink's office.
They can't just check out.
B:
I am not checking out.I need to change.
What does check out mean here?
Top answer
Are you sure it's not B who says "They can't just check out"? I went and looked at the script, and they are talking in a way I am not familiar with, but I guess it means to check out of your life the way you check out of a hotel. Leave, and leave it behind.
