My Own Private River

When you were 12 years old, you and your companions made an appointment to go to a distant place to find a corpse. You had the dream of becoming famous and the joy of traveling together.


Now, you're shivering in the street, waiting to be called away by a guest. Selling the flesh, the customer is male or female, for a few banknotes, it doesn't matter any perverted game.
Dream. Insomnia, falling asleep at any time, in a dream at any time. In the dream there is your dear mother.
You are on a journey with him. Portland, Iowa, Italy.
He said he would accompany you, no matter where.
The scenery along the way is really beautiful, but all the scenery is in a dream. There are galloping rivers, and there are schools of jumping fish.
Whenever you fall, he will accompany you, hold you, and wait for you to wake up. You fell in love with him, who else could you fall in love with?
In Iowa, the Iowa you have dreamed of countless times, you didn't find your mother. But you know that your brother is your father at the same time, and your mother is a lunatic. You think the world is crazy.
In Iowa he rejected you too. It's just for the money, he won't like a man.
In Italy, there is still no mother. He fell in love with a girl. Beautiful scenery, gentle girl, he wants to go back.
It's time to go back, he doesn't belong here in the first place, he's the mayor's son.
The decadent and even absurd life is just a moment of youthful rebellion, and he can go back with a gorgeous turn.
In a suit and leather shoes, he said to his former adoptive father, "Old man, I don't know you, go out."
This is their world, their world, their world. And I was abandoned from the beginning, wasn't I?
The road, the same road, an ugly road in your eyes.
A road that seems to have no end, you walk alone.
Is there no end? When you fall, it all ends.




Play is like life, life is like play.
2 years later, you died of a drug overdose. You made an appointment with a lovely girl, but that night, you fell at the door, no more dreams, no waking up, and you fell asleep forever.
Only the dead are always 23 years old.
He was smooth sailing afterward. All the way, the expression is dull, but wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker is just right. He became the savior.
This is their world, let him save it.

    I can’t believe it, River, you have been in Nirvana for twenty years!

    Wild and low trees. Get lost in the road world from Portland to Idaho on your own. "I am an expert on the road. I have tasted the taste of the road in my life. This road is never-ending."

My Own Private Idaho quotes

  • Bob Pigeon: Scott. When you inherit your fortune, on your twenty-first birthday, let's see... how far away is this?

    Scott Favor: One week away, Bob, just one more week.

    Bob Pigeon: Let's not call ourselves robbers, but Diana's foresters. Gentlemen of the shade. Minions of the Moon. Men of good government.

    Scott Favor: [under his breath] When I turn twenty-one, I don't want any more of this life. My mother and father will be surprised at the incredible change. It will impress them more when such a fuck-up like me turns good than if I had been a good son all along. All the past years I will think of as one big vacation. At least it wasn't as boring as schoolwork. All my bad behavior I'm going to throw away to pay my debt. I will change when everybody expects it the least.

  • Scott Favor: I only have sex with a guy for money.

    Mike Waters: Yeah, I know.

    Scott Favor: And two guys can't love each other.

    Mike Waters: Yeah.

    Mike Waters: Well, I don't know. I mean... I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me.

    Scott Favor: Mike...

    Mike Waters: I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.
