Reflection on Beauty and Ambition
Rachel Jansen Wow, we’re really going up to the edge of this, huh?
Rachel Jansen Wow, this is really beautiful. All right, so now that your show’s done, are you gonna finish the Dracula musical?
Peter Bretter It’s not that was, you know. Sarah always thought it was crazy and...
Peter Bretter I just don't feel like doing anything.
Peter Bretter Cause my heart is broken, and I can't imagine doing anything right now. It's probably the same reason... you don't go back to school, you know? Maybe it's good we got hurt like that, you know? don't know about you, but it makes me feel impervious to pain.
Rachel Jansen Yeah. Kind of like there's nothing left to be afraid of.
Peter Bretter Yeah. No, exactly.
Rachel Jansen Right.
Peter Bretter We could leap off this rock, and it won't hurt us as had as they did.

[while hanging from a cliff]
Rachel Jansen No, no, no, no, no. If you fall straight down, you'll probably hit a rock and kill yourself!
Peter Bretter Totally. So what do I do?!
Rachel Jansen Why don't you just press your feet up against the rock, and like, shoot yourself off!
Peter Bretter What, like a frog?!
Rachel Jansen I don't know, Peter- just get off the fucking rock!
Peter Bretter Here I go! One!
[pause]

Peter Bretter That's very sweet of you. That's very sweet of you to say. You don't have to say that, though. It's not music. There's no melody, it's just tones. Just dark, ominous tones. "The Masturbating Dog-Killer is on the loose again! He'll kill the owner, but at least the dogs are happy!
[chuckles; mimics a line from the show; imitates one of his 'tones' and he and Rachel both laugh]

Condom Misuse and Unconventional Advice
Jonah I can't believe you didn't wear a bag, WHO DOES THAT?
Jason Why did we go to Costco and buy a year's supply of condoms if you weren't gonna use em, man?

Jason The real point is not to get yourself into this position, that's what you have to realize. You gotta know all the tricks like, for example, if a woman's on top she can't get pregnant. It's just gravity.
Jonah Well that's true. Everyone knows that.
Jason What goes up must come down.

[Matthew reluctantly backs off as a waitress brings dessert]
