"Still very cautious." "Careful." " You know, it's   it's sort of funny to me   the way you can   teach and judge   and yet you yourself no longer paint." " You think that's funny?" " No, actually I think it's bullshit." " What do you propose to do about it?" " I don't know." " See  being an artist   in order to be a serious artist " " you have to be willing to sacrifice everything." "You have to confront your demons." "Go into battle with them." " That's what I want." "I'm ready for that." "Really?" "I lost a few battles along the way myself." "That's why I stopped painting." " Well then, maybe " " I can help you face your fears?" "And you can help me face mine?"

"Why put a sculpture all the way up here?" "Here's beer." "..." "You better not dance with anybody but me tonight." "You're so sexy!" "Fuck him." " Oh, there's gonna be so much fun." "Fuck'em all." " Are you out of your mind?" "Why would you wanna do something like that?" " Self expression?" " Wait a minute, first you cut off all your hair   then you pierce your belly button   and now you're smoking?" "What the hell's going on with you?" "Tanya, don't you have a super highway   you need to get on?" "Why don't you go out and have some fun?" " I was just leaving." "Guess I won't introduce you to Roxanne." " What should I have?" " How about an Ice breaker?" " And what exactly is an Ice breaker?" " Turn around and I'll show you." "Don't move." "Ice breaker it is." "Thanks." "Dance with me." "Oh my god." " No one's safe with you around!" "Yeah, you've got a problem with that?" "Hi, this is Lily, I can't get to the phone   so leave me a message after the beep." "Thanks." " Lily, it's your mum." "Lily, we're worried about you." "Your dad want's to talk to you." " Hey kiddo, how you doing?" "Please call home, darling   your mother's driving me crazy." "Hey, we'll see you at Thanksgiving, right?" " God." " Is that the time?" "I'm late for Donald's class." " So we're late for professor Falks class?" "What's the big deal?" "I wanna go." "That's what the big deal is." " So go." " What do you think I'm trying to do?" " What are you doing for Thanksgiving?" " I don't know yet." " Bridgette, Tanya and Robert are gonna go home." "It's gonna get rather lonely around here." " What about you?" "What are you gonna do?" " Who was that on the phone?" " I don't know." "Somebody who obviously didn't want to talk to me." "You know, there seem to be a whole lot of "I don't know"." "Don't." " What's the matter?" "What did I do?" " You tell me." "What are you doing?" "I wanna know, Lily." " I really can't have this conversation right now   because I'm late for class." " I don't know who you are anymore." "I don't know who I'm making love to anymore." "If this is some kind of contest, Lily  I don't wanna compete." "I thought you wrote these." " What a nice surprise!" " Thought you might be hungry." " As a matter of fact I am, thanks." " Since when do you lock the door?" " Since last ..." " You're painting again?" " Delicious honey, thanks!" " Can I have a look?" " No, you don't have to ask." "When I have something to show you, I'll show you." " You OK?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Why?" " So you're painting?" " No one in particular." " OK, fine." " What do you want me to do, stand in front of my class for the rest of my life   and nag about stuff I don't have the guts to do anymore, like a hipocrite?" " That's not what we're talking about." "I don't want to lose you again." "And especially not to some 21 year old   undergraduate who looks up to you as a god as poses between fucks." " You and Daphna are my life." "And I love you very much." "..." "The last time nearly killed us, Donald." " Right." " Well, where were you today?" " What do you mean?" " You weren't in class, neither was Gredin." "Any connection between the two?" " You know, I'm gonna go..." " Wait, wait, just tell me." "Were you with him?" " Wait." "Don't go." "I don't want you to go." "Can't let you go." "Can't stop thinking about you." "That painting is the first one I've made in years   and it's because of you." "I've never felt this way before in my life." "Help me overcome my fear." " Big scary cat." " Love you for it." " Donald, what are you doing?" " Kissing you." "Falling in love with you." " Don't." " Why?" " Just don't." " Come here." " What?" " Beauty scares me." "Terrifies me." "Wait, wait." "Who is it?" " It's Diana." " Not right now, OK?" " Alright, I come back." " It's alright." "Stay." " I'm really sorry   about the way I've been acting lately." "This is just a really hard transition for me   and I..." "I've been confused." "But I'm not confused anymore." "Please don't give up on me." " Don't just stand there, Donald." "Invite them in." "This is Gredin, he was kinda homeless so I invited him." "I hope you don't mind." " No, not at all." "Hi Gredin." "You two know each other?" " Yeah, he's in my class." " Oh." " Wow, it feels great in here." "Can I do anything?" " You can set a plate for Gredin." " Hi, Lily!" "Can I ask you something?" "Is Gredin your boyfriend?" " Is that you?" " Yeah." "Yes, it is." "Donald painted that a long time ago." "That's me." "Come in." "I'll show you around." " Very good." " Very nice." " Why didn't you tell me you were inviting Lily?" " Thought I did." " You didn't." " All set." " Good idea." "Thanks." "Will be good with this one, Lily." "Please." "Will you bring the cranberries for me?" "Lily, grab the mineral water, would you?" "It's in the fridge." "I'm glad you're here." "What's up, where are you going?" " Into the other room." "Where do you think I'm going?" " Wait just a second." " Don't." " Let me just look at you." "Why did you bring him?" " Because he's my boyfriend." " So, Gredin, why don't you sit over here?" "Lily, next to Gredin." "Daphna, you're here beside Lily." "Donald, you're over here next to me." " Do you have a cake for Johnny?" " Of course." " I'm finished mum." "I'm gonna hide." " Fine honey, you go ahead." " So, Lily tells me you're a photographer." "I used to be." "Making a comeback." "And you're a painter?" "I'm a sculptor mostly." " An amazing sculptor." " A diversion of life study." " That's not entirely true." " Really, used to be." " Me and Donald agree on a couple of things." "Like your beauty, for example." "I've never seen your work before." "It's good." " It's amazing what you can do with the right subject." " Donald's painting again." "First time in a long while." " I'll get some more wine." " He's really serious about it." "It's a secret." " So, ehm   how did you and Donald meet?" " I wanted to do a life study class." "I heard about this single, brilliant, good looking   professor   and weazled my way into his class." "And the rest is history." "Bit of a cliche, I know." " Some more?" " Thanks." " Angela was just telling us how the two of you met." " For God's sake, let's not bore them with out trivia." " I never actually thought of it as trivia, Donald." " Where's Daphna?" " Sound asleep." " She should be in bed, shouldn't she?" "Come on sweety, let's go." " I'll take her." " No, I want daddy and Lily to take me." " Well..." " Good night." " Let me give you a hand." " Yeah, thank you." " There you go." "Sleep tight, beautiful." " Good night, little girl." " Good night, big girl." " What are you doing?" " What does it feel like I'm doing?" " Are you fucking crazy?" " I'm fucking crazy about you." " What was that?" "I cut myself." " Here." " Right here?" "Will you fuck me right here?" "You don't love me." "Let go of me." " Love me." "Lily, love me." " Get off me." " Don't you dare touch her!" " Shit." " Don't you dare touch her!" " Calm down." " 911, state your emergency." "Mama?" " Fuck you, Ivy." "Shit." " Daphna's gonna be fine." "I don't know if you care." " And you?" " Am I fine or do I care?" " I can't let you go, Lily!" "Not after everything we've been through." " It's over, Donald." " Don't fight me, Lily." "Don't shut me out." "I can't let you go, Lily." "I love you too much, I ..." "Get off!" " I'm not gonna hurt you Lily, just let me in." " The police are on their way." " I never meant to hurt you." "You'll have to believe me." "What are you doing?" "Go, baby." "Go, go." " I know it's pointless to ask you to forgive me." "OK, well." "I just gotta talk." "Then you won't have to deal with me anymore." "My whole life " " I've felt like a freak." "You know, back home in Michigan " " I wasn't accepted because I was different   and then I come here " " I'm not different enough." "So " " I decided   to become someone else." "Someone   tough and infallible." "Beautiful and sexy." "Fearless." "And it worked." "For the first time in my life I was accepted." "And I became intoxicated by the freedom of it all." "Until it was too late." "It's too late, isn't it?" "Well ..." "For what it's worth..." "I love you." " I love you."
