About This Quote

This quote comes from the movie "8½". In the scene where Jonas and Pelly are in bed, he is talking to the waitress about what he would like. At the end of this quote, he says that he would want either a bullet in his ear or a bedtime story. This is basically the same thing as saying that he wants to die, but both are very different ways of expressing this idea.

The fact that Jonas says he would rather die than have a bullet in his ear means that he does not want to be shot. On the other hand, if you were to say that you “want to die” you are saying that you want to be dead. However, you could also say that you want to have a bedtime story, which is also very different from wanting to die.
