## David Aames

* Isn’t that what being young is about, believing secretly that you would be the one person in the history of man that would live forever?
* My dreams are a cruel joke. They taunt me. Even in my dreams, I'm an idiot who knows he's about to wake up to reality. If I could only avoid sleep. But I can't. I try to tell myself what to dream. I try to dream that I am flying. Something free. It never works...
* That smile's gonna be the end of me.
* One kiss
* The little things... there's nothing bigger, is there?
* Good. Because for a minute there I thought we were talking about A FUCKING MASK!!!
* I lost you when I got in that car. I'm sorry.
* I remember. Somebody died. It was me.
* Look at us. I'm frozen, and you're dead. And I love you.
* Doc, once you've been driven off a bridge at 80 miles an hour, somehow you don't invite happiness in without a full body search.
* These? These are more than headaches. These are steel plates slicing through my every thought.
* I wanna wake up! Tech support! It's a nightmare! Tech support! Tech support!
* I want to live a real life... I don't want to dream any longer.
* You're not blind. You're drinking ĵạçk Ḏạṇịels, and when you drink Jack, you start in with that... Ḟṟạṇk Şịṇạtrạ, she shot me down, give me a cigarette, "King of Sad" thing.
* A new form of me began to take shape. I planned my reemergence, like the Normandy invasion. (Sofia, Sofia...) I'll just say it - I did my homework. I read every memo. Thomas Tipp was right: People will read again.
* You keep the relationship casual, until the absolute breaking point. And then one evening or afternoon or morning, it could be months from now. Well, you know how it works
* I don't care if God calls, I'm very, very busy.
* I am a pleasure delayer.

## Sofía Serrano

* I'll tell you in another life when we are both cats.
* I think she's the saddest girl to ever hold a martini.
* Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
* But I just think good things will happen, if you are a good person with a good attitude, don't you think?
* Holy God. This is going to change my life in a zillion different ways. I must be nuts.
* I meant that to be your forehead.
* Come here... I want to tell you a secret.
* I'll find you again.

## Brian Shelby

* You can do whatever you want with your life, but one day you'll know what love truly is. It's the sour and the sweet. And I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet.
* You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone.
* My own death was in front of me, and you know what happened? Your life flashed before my eyes.
* Because I am Frank, and Frank must go. I good you bid evening.

## Julie Gianni

* Don't you know that when you sleep with someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not!
* What's happiness to you, David?
* We had sex four times. Four times! I swallowed your cum, it means something!
* Happiness to me, is being here with you!

## Rebecca Dearborn

* Its been a brilliant journey of self-awakening, now you simply have to ask yourself this... What is happiness to you David?
* Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own. What is any life without the pursuit of a dream?

## Dialogue

    [David is knocked fiercely over the head with frying pan. He wakes up later. He is puzzled by the presence of Julie]
    David: Who are you?
    Julie: I'm Sofia.
    David: You are not Sofia.
    Julie: I'm Sofia.
    David: Whatever.
    David: I wasn't hitting on Sofia.
    Brian: Oh, fine. Whatever you say. I'm crazy. I'm blind.
    David: You're not blind, you're drinking ĵạçk Ḏạṇịels, and when you drink Jack you start in with that, "Ḟrạṇk Ṡịṇạtrạ, she shot me down, give me a cigarette, King of Sad" thing.
    Brian: That I do. Give me a cigarette.
    David: I'll find one.
    Brian: But wait. You're rich and women love you, and I'm from Ohio and I'm drunk. Can I tell you the truth?
    David: Everybody does.
    Brian:: I dig her. And I've never said this to you before about any girl, but she could be - could be, could be, could be - the girl of my fucking dreams.
    David: You're not from Ohio.
    Brian: I know. But if she fucks up our friendship, she can go to hell. I won't allow it. We are bros.
    David: I feel the same way.
    Brian: Sure you do.
    David: How 'bout if you help me, unless I'm horning in here.
    Sofia: You are, but the food's good.
    David: See, I've got this little problem. I've got a stalker.
    Sofia: It doesn't sound life-threatening.
    David: But I need a cover. I need for you to pretend we're having a scintillating conversation, and you are wildly entertained. I know it's tough.
    Sofia: I'll improvise.
    David: She's across the room and burning a hole in my back now, isn't she?
    Sofia: Red dress, strappy shoes? Wow. She's really staring at you.
    David: Shit.
    Sofia: And she seems to be growing.. less happy. I think she's the saddest girl to ever hold a ṃạrtịṇị.
    David: Look at us. I'm frozen and you are dead. And I love you.
    Sofia: It's a problem.
    David: I lost you when I got in that car. I'm sorry. Do you remember what you told me once? "Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around"...
    Sofia: I'll find you again.
    David: I'll see you in another life... when we are both cats.
