"I went on this date and we went out to dinner and all these things and then I took her home and she went inside and then I farted for the rest of my life." "I just... farted for the rest of my life, as soon as she was inside." "Young gorgeous women must have the hardest time and a lot of people think they have advantages, like, oh, if you're a pretty girl, hey, you know, it's easy." "People buy you drinks." "Oh, wow, boy." "What is that, a $16 savings every week?" "Free drinks." "It must be so much pressure to be, like, a really cute young girl."

"( horn honking )" "Can we walk?" "Sure." "Let's just walk!" "Okay." "My favorite part of New York is that you can just walk and walk and you'll never run out of city." "Yeah, I love walking in New York, I love it." "You do?" "Yeah, sure." "Are you just saying that because you're on a date you wanna agree with me?" "Totally, I hate walking." "See?" "Don't do that." "Just tell me the truth." "I like to disagree." "Okay, well, then can we get in a cab or go" "No!" "I'm gonna make you walk." "Why, 'cause I'm fat?" "Yes." "You're fat." "And I have no tits." "Let's be honest." "It's the only way I'll continue this date with you." "Okay." "You're just gonna have to keep up with me because I reveal myself very quickly to people."

"Someone actually said that to me." "So you-- They said it like that?" "I was in school, my parents got a call from the doctors telling them the diagnosis." "My mom... lost her mind, she came into the school to just pull me out." "I was walking from home economics to science class to see my mom standing in the school office, she's crying." "My father's sitting next to her, he's not mad at her and then this girl, this really mean girl named Mandy Stewart, she sees me, she comes up to me and she says," ""Your mom is here because you're supposed to die or something."" "Oh, my God." "It doesn't sound like your mom handled that in the best possible way, from a parenting point of view." "Y'know, beating that disease wore me down to 70 pounds." "I had no hair, my teeth fell out," "I was wearing dentures by the time I was 15." "But the hardest part of it was my mom, dealing with my poor mom and getting her through it." "I mean, I'd be... puking and she'd be kneeling next to me on the bathroom floor, sobbing." "I mean, I'm literally puking chemo vomit into a toilet and patting my poor mother on the back, trying to comfort her." "( chuckling )" "( horn honking in distance )" "I'm sorry I told you."

"I look like an 80-year-old woman." "And then death, you know, backs away into the mist and... all the sudden, my body's accepting nutrients and within a month, I'm a healthy 15-year-old girl with a cool punky haircut." "I mean, can you imagine?" "No, I can't." "How do you sit and learn algebra in a classroom, you know?" "Why?" "I never went back." "What did you do?" "Oh, my God." "Look at this."

"I really don't." "I've never asked a guy to do anything like this." "I" " Maybe it's a test." "A test?" "Yes." "Do you like me?" "Yeah, I like you." "Well, what do you want to do?" "Do you want to say a list of things you think might impress me or do you want to try this on and make me really like you, just for having the guts?" "Plus, I think it'll look pretty on you." "Hey." "I'm not making fun of you, I promise." "Come on." "I mean, this is kind of sexy, isn't it?" "Come on, try it on." "Grow some guts." "I'm gonna stand right here and watch you." "Look..."

"My parents were fighting about what to call me and when I was born, they still hadn't decided." "They just started calling me that as something to refer to me by until they could think-- think of a better name." "They just never did." "Why-- why "Tape Recorder"?" "I guess it was sitting on my dad's desk... and they were fighting and he just pointed at it and said," ""We're call her that for now!"" "So that's my name." "Wow, that is-- that's-- that's crazy." "That's" " Tape Recorder?" "That's me." "I mean, do people call you "Tape," or..." "Is your name really Tape Recorder?" "Shit." "( giggling )" "Man." "Wow." "You'll believe anything."

"No." "Neither have I, but I want to go to North Dakota more than anything in the world." "So why don't you go?" "I'll never go, I just want to." "I want to keep desiring it." "I love to pine for North Dakota." "I don't want to give that up by going there." "Why did you do that?" "Just... a more humane version of throwing it in the garbage." "'Cause you want to help him?" "Yeah." "Then let's do it, let's help him." "What..." "Come on, yeah." "Wait a minute." "I don't think a pickle's gonna do it, though." "I gave him a sandwich." "Hi, hi." "Oh, Jesus." "Hey, honey, how are ya?" "Why are you sleeping out here?" "It's cold out here." "( whispering ) Snakes." "Snakes?" "Snakes." "Why did snakes make you be here?" "Why?" "They crawl on my legs." "And the little ones crawl on my hands." "And the human services lady in Brooklyn got me that-- I had that job and then they gave me these." "And I know the snakes aren't real, but I see 'em, and I get scared and I start screaming and I cut my hands 'cause they're on my hands, but if take those, they go away." "And then I lost my job," "I can't get 'em anymore and the snakes come back and I just can't be around people." "Are these expensive?" "Yeah, $30 for one pill." "Are you seeing snakes right now?" "There's a snake on my face?" "They're not real." "There's no snake." "It's fine, you know, there's no snake." "I'm just saying, there's no snake in" "Okay, come on, buddy." "Got it."
