Don’t you just take the past, put it in a room in the basement, lock the door, and never go in there? That’s what I do. And then you meet someone special, and all you wanna do is toss them the key. Say, “Open up. Step inside.” But you can’t. Because it’s dark… and there are demons.
–The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) Adapted to screenplay and directed by Anthony Minghella
