for God to take my arm, take both arms.

I felt so useless.

What's your name?

Dear friend.

I wonder where I was in all that time.

A sleepwalker.

In love with the world,

in love with love.

Mum The world's a swamp.

You have to fly over it.

Fly...

High up...

where everything is just...

a speck.

You changed.

The world absorbed you.

More and more.

I regret that it turned out the way it did.

You always wanted to get away.

I wanted a mate.

I couldn't have you.

Just didn't wanna be alone.

Are you sorry that you brought me here?

Are you sorry you came?

Do you remember how happy we were?

Different these days.

What's going on with you?

You used to sing in the morning

coming down the stairs.

I meant to make you happy.

I wanted nothing else.

But then you began to be angry with me...

just for little things.

I don't wanna accuse you,

bu! you turned more unkind toward me.

Almost cruel.

Just don't threaten me with leaving, okay?

Just do what you wanna do!

Just go!

Stay.

I want you.

Hold you.

Have you.

Mine.

Are you sorry

we didn't have babies?

I am.

Got started so late.

You wanted me to help you

through the dangers of a young man's life.

Ambition.

Fear.

When was the last time

you took these boots off?

I think you were afraid

of going astray.

I couldn't help you stay on the right path.

Your head was turned

in the wrong direction.

Can you move all your fingers?

Yeah, they look a little bit bruised.

You never really wanted

to be totally inside our marriage.

Nor outside it, either.

You were sincere in the promises you made.

Still... they didn't come from your heart.

I was afraid when I was young.

Afraid of life.

Who pays for it.

I'm sorry you had to pay as well.

My hope.

You gave me peace.

You gave me what the world can't give.

Mercy.

Love.

Joy.

All else is cloud.

Mist.

Be with me.

Always.

You 're still the love of my life.

Should I tell you that?

Drinking is bad.

Bu! feelings are worse.

Sober girls are the worst,

but so are really drunk ones.

The sweet spot is one xanie,

four white wines.

If you're not first in line,

you're smelling somebody else's brown eye.

Balls deep.

Living my life is like

playing Call oi Duty on easy.

I just go around and f*** sh*t up.

Why don't we take

"yes" for an answer.

Let me tell you about you.

You worked long and hard

to get to this moment.

Mountain air.

Freedom.

What are you gonna do?

Crawl back down because

you don't like the altitude?

You have an incomparable opportunity.

I told you about you.

Now let me tell you about me.

I wanna make you rich.

Is there anyone you wanna sit

in a room with?

Is there anyone you wanna know?
