I think they’re very different but they’re both very lonely people and I think that even though there had been this crazy fissure in their friendship that they in some ways were all each other had. and when you know somebody very deeply, it’s very hard to say goodbye to them. and I think that debbie saw this version of her own life where’s she’s like “I can achieve these things but I can’t do it without this person who I love, who is the love of my life.” who is the great love of debbie’s life. and um, [deep sigh]”
