Listen you’re like a perfect student who is interested in doing exactly what they tell you and that’s fine for you and where you are in your journey right now but that is not where I am and if I have to deal with him trying to orchestrate my body any more I’m gonna fucking scream.

ZOE

You did scream. You screamed “fuck off Andrew” and ran out of the room.

CATE

CAUSE HE CAN FUCK OFF.

Quote   One

DADA Yeah. I come here a lot, always alone. I’d swim in the sky, or walk on the lake. Sometimes I’d get these like, calls? I’d be sitting here and something would float in the air down from the sky, right into my ear. Lots of voices, hands slapping together. A voice would call out: “Tonight on FOX”? “D’oh”? A ribbon of song but no one singing? Duh-duh-duh-da-duhhhhh…. One time through the rocks of the hills I heard a beast, then I saw it: four large, round spheres held it up. It flew on the ground and came racing by me. That thing was faster than Uncle Dede during a lightning storm. I began running as fast as I could because I didn’t feel safe anymore. But when I turned around again, there were no more beasts. And I felt so odd…something right here in my chest began to hurt. My heart?

Quote   two

DIDI But you escaped! DADA I think it was wrong of me to be scared. I should’ve tried to see the beast, or understand it. It was a long time ago, I don’t think it will be back. … DIDI We could close our lids. They close their eyes.

NICHOLAS I have an idea about people in love. People can be divided into two types: those who want to die first and those who want to die last. I want to die before Martin. A couple whose love succeeds must be one of each. They cannot both be those who want to die last. One must know he cannot live without the other, one who would prefer death to life without his love. And the other must be the one who will mourn when his lover is gone. Martin can live without me. It will hurt him, losing me. It will hurt him deeply. But I cannot live without Martin in my life. He knows this.

 It would have been something if we had dinner parties. Why didn’t we ever do that?

or

I am not sure if this event actually happened or if I invented it. 

or

Did I walk away when a kid got run over by a train?
