" About what?" " All that we destroy." "Non, non, non." "I love you, sister." "You're a pain, but I adore you." " Is it your little bunny?" " No, it's you." "I'm talking to you." " Thank you, sister." " You're so dumb!" "[Marion] I'd better go." " And see your guy?" " I don't know." "Hi."

"I'm sitting at this fast-food restaurant... and I'm holding hands with this fairy right before he sets the place on fire, you know?" " A fairy?" " Oh, not like..." "Not a gay person." "You know, like from heaven." "You know?" "Or a schizophrenic vegan." " Uh-huh." " Maybe." "He hated fast food." "I realized something so basic." " I mean, so basic." " Mm-hmm." "I don't know you."

"Jack realized after two years of being with me that he didn't know me at all... nor did I know him." "And to truly love each other, we needed to know the truth about each other... even if it's not so easy to take." "So I told him the truth, which was I'd never cheated on him."
