Let it. I don’t understand why I’m not dead. When your heart breaks, you should die. But there’s still the rest of you. There’s your breasts and your genitals… They’re amazingly stupid, like babies or faithful dogs. They don’t get it, they just want him. Want him.

- Harper Pitt 


I hate America, Louis. I hate this country. It’s just big ideas, and stories, and people dying, and people like you. The white cracker who wrote the national anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word “free” to a note so high nobody can reach it. That was deliberate. Nothing on earth sounds less like freedom to me. You come with me to room 1013 over at the hospital, and I’ll show you America. Terminal, crazy, and mean. I live in America, Louis, that’s hard enough, I don’t have to love it. You do that. Everybody’s got to love something.

You can’t live in the world without an idea of the world. But it’s living that makes the ideas. You can’t wait for a theory but you have to have a theory.

HANNAH: No you can’t. Imagine. The things in my head. You don’t make assumptions about me, mister; I won’t make them about you.
