"Everything about you is my business. What you smoke, what you sniff, what you swallow, it's all my business.

I've been using since I was 12! You're also unbelievably stupid, you know that? You didn' t give a shit about anything I did up until now!

Well, I'll apologize for everything but today! Today I give a shit!"



"You know the great thing, though? It's that change can be so constant that you don 't even feel the difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don't know that your life is better or worse until it is. Or it can just blow you away, make you something different in an instant. It happened to me. Build this house with me.」



「Do I still Love you? Absolutely. There is not a doubt in my mind. Through all my anger, my ego. I was always faithful in my Love for you. That I made you doubt it, that is the great mistake of a Life full of mistakes. The truth doesn't set us free, Robin. I can tell you I love you as many times as you can stand to hear it and all that does, the only thing, is remind us... that Love is not enough. Not even close."



"Sometimes things happen for a reason. You know, something bad to force something good."



"You know you were dying from the start?

We're all dying from the start. I just got moved to the head of the line."



"You selfish fuck. Having me here, trying to get me to like you?

No, Sam. I wasn't trying to get you to like me. I was trying to get you to love me.

Well, congratulations.'Cause you fucking pulled it off!"



"I always thought of myself as a house. I was always what I lived in. It didn't need to be big. It didn't even need to be beautiful. It just needed to be mine. I became what I was meant to be. I built myself a life. I built myself a house."



"With every crash of every wave, I hear something now. I never listened before. I'm on the edge of a cliff, listening. Almost finished. If you were a house, Sam, this is where you would want to be built, on rock, facing the sea. Listening. Listening.」
