Do you have any idea what they were arguing about?
Have you heard that as couples get older, they lose their ability to love each other?
Nature's way of allowing couples to grow old together without killing each other.
So, has this trip around been good for you?
Sometimes you have ideas that you ordinarily wouldn't have.
All those mundane, boring things everybody has to do every day of their fucking life? You want to do that?
You say it the way you say it, I'll say it the way I say it.
You know, my parents have never really spoken of the possibility of my falling in love or getting married or having children.
It was this constant conversion of my fanciful ambition into these practical, moneymaking ventures.
I always knew when they were lying to me, you know?
I was listening to what everybody thought I should be doing with my life and just… doing the opposite instead.
I could never get very excited about other people's ambitions for my life.
It's this passive-aggressive shit. You know what I mean? I hate it.
I can't help it. I just can't help it.
I'm so scared of those few seconds of consciousness before you're gonna die.
I can't stop thinking that way. It's exhausting.
I wish I had met you earlier. I really like talking to you.
If I don't ask you this, it's gonna haunt me the rest of my life.
I feel like we have some kind of a connection, right?
I want to keep talking to you. I have no idea what your situation is.
I was just gonna walk around, and it'd be a lot more fun if you came with me.
You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you picked up with one of them, right?
I'm going to ask you... Describe for me your first sexual feelings towards a person.
Well, that's too bad, because I have a big crush on you.
It scared the hell out of me because I thought [he/she/they] was so fine.
I pretended I didn't like [him/her/them]. You know, I was so afraid of what I might do and screw it up like us!
Have you ever been in love?
I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.
I have told somebody that I loved them before, and I had meant it. But was it totally unselfish, giving love?
I mean, I don't know, what is love, exactly?
I hate that. I can't stand it, really.
I always liked the idea of all those unknown people lost in the world.
People can invent the best and the worst for you.
Now I'm ten years older and [he/she/they] still 13, I guess. I changed, and [he/she/they] doesn't.
Are you trying to say you want to kiss me?
I mean, I really can't complain about anything.
We still have to deal with the same old shit, but we can't really know anything.
Everybody's parents fucked them up.
My parents are just these two people who didn't like each other very much, who decided to get married and have a kid. And they try their best to be nice to me.
They should've done it a lot sooner, but they stuck together for a while.
I was this big mistake. That really shaped the way I think.
I always saw the world as this place where I really wasn't meant to be.
Do you know anyone who's in a happy relationship?
I know happy couples. But I think they lie to each other.
People can live their whole life as a lie.
[He/She/They] just accepted the fate. It's so sad. I don't want to be like that.
How do you know? You don't know them.
It's just, people have these romantic projections they put on everything that's not based on any kind of reality.
I hope you don't take that any more seriously.
That's way condescending, you know?
And when you die, you'll be completely forgotten. I don't want that.
You pay your money, you hear something that makes you feel good about yourself. Even though you know why you do that.
I can't help but feeling for all those people that come here, lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers.
What would you be doing? If you weren't with me?
I'm so glad because no one knows I'm here, and I don't know anyone that knows you.
If we were around each other all the time, like a couple, what would be the first thing about me that would drive you mad?
Uh, no, no. I'm not going to answer this question.
All [he/she/they] ever really wanted to do was to have an excuse to tell me what [h/she/they] thought was wrong with me.
Tell me. What is it about me bugs you?
You give me a word. I'll take the word.
Even if we were a little bit confrontational, why does everyone think conflict is so bad?
Yeah, well, we've all had such competitiveness ingrained in us.
You have no idea where I came from. We have no idea where we're going.
You know what drives me crazy?
We haven't talked about this yet, but are you dating anyone?
I was really disappointed. I thought this one would last for a while.
I was kind of giving [him/her/them] a favor, but [he/she/they] left me, saying I loved [him/her/them] too much. What the hell is that mean?
The way you said it. I know you are going to do it, the way you said it!
Why is it you become obsessed with people you don't really like that much?
It's funny how we managed to avoid this subject for so long.
People always talk about how love is this totally unselfish, giving thing. But if you think about it, there's nothing more selfish.
You sound like you've just been hurt or something.
I stuck around for a while just to kinda let it really sink in that [he/she/they] wished I hadn't come here.
You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you?
How little you thought about the people you broke up with and you realize that that is how little they're thinking about you.
Well, anyway. It's depressing. You know what?
Every couple's been having this conversation forever. And nobody came up with anything.
What are you complaining about?
Loving someone, and being loved, means so much to me.
Isn't everything we dream in life a way to be loved a little more?
It's not a fear of commitment or that I'm incapable of caring or loving, because… I can.
I think that's when I fell for [him/her/them]. All those beautiful dreams..
The only person I could really hurt is myself.
I couldn't go home right away. I didn't wanna see anybody I knew.
I was so unsure of myself. I thought everything I said sounded so stupid.
I feel like this is some dream world we're in, you know?
It's like our time together is just ours. It's our own creation. Nothing else matters.
But then the morning comes and we turn into pumpkins, right?
After tomorrow morning, we're probably never gonna see each other again, right?
You don't think we'll ever see each other again?
Maybe we should try something different.
I mean, it's not so bad if tonight is our only night, right?
Yeah. I mean, I don't want that. I hate that.
Why do you think everybody thinks relationships are supposed to last forever anyway?
I mean, that… tonight's our only night?
No delusions. No projections. We'll just make tonight great.
It's just — It's depressing, no?
Now the only thing we're gonna think of is when we're gonna have to say good-bye tomorrow.
We could say good-bye now. Then we wouldn't have to worry about it in the morning.
I've been with people and shared beautiful moments and I knew those were special moments.
I wished I'd been with someone else.
You couldn't possibly know why a night like this is so important to my life right now, but it is.
What about our rational, adult decision?
I know what you mean about wishing that somebody wasn't there though.
Let's say you and I were together all the time. You'd start to hate to hate me/
But… being with you has made me feel like I was somebody else.
Do you know what I want? To be kissed by you.
I have to say something stupid. I don't think we should sleep together.
Since we're never gonna see each other again, it'll make me feel bad. The guilt of doing it.
I'll wonder who else you're with. I'll miss you.
I don't want you to break our vow just so you can get laid!
I mean, we die in the morning, right?
I don't want this great evening to just have been for that.
You don't wanna see me again?
If somebody gave me the choice right now of to never see you again or to marry you, I would marry you, all right?
People have gotten married for a lot less.
Why do I make everything so complicated?
I don't know. We're back in real time.
I'm gonna take your picture… so I never forget you or this.
I think I can really fall in love when I know everything about someone.
I'm sure that's when I know I'm really in love.
Have a great life. Have fun with everything you're gonna do.
All this bullshit we were talkin' about.. about not seeing each other again? I don't wanna do that.
Why didn't you say something?
I was afraid maybe you didn't want to see me.
Maybe we should meet here in five years or something.
Five years? Five years? That's a long time.
But I'm gonna be here. For you.
All right. Your train's gonna leave. Say good-bye.
