Confessions of Love and Vulnerability
Lee:
Ann, there's something I have to tell you and I have to tell you now.
Ann:
Lee, I'm...
Lee:
I love you. I'm in love with you. And the world seems less terrible because you exist. I feel like I wanna be with you for the rest of my life. And all that, the palpitations, and the nerves, the pain, the happiness and the fear. I wanna... I wanna touch you all the time! I wanna take care of you and your girls and even find your husband a decent job and get you a house that doesn't have wheels and...
Ann:
Be careful. That sounds like a classic case of falling in love.
Lee:
I am in love. I'm classically in love. The classic husband is gonna to be here any minute. And the classic depression that sets in everytime you go off with him... and the crying and the tears and everything.

Prayers for Happiness Amidst Life's Challenges
Ann:
(to herself) You pray that they will have moments of happiness so intense, that all of their problems will seem insignificant by comparison. You don't know who or what you're praying to, but you pray. You don't even regret the life that you're not gonna have, because by then you'll be dead. And the dead don't feel anything. Not even regret.
