Things We Lost in the Fire quotes
Audrey Burke: How'd you know about the movies?
Jerry Sunborne: Brian told me.
Audrey Burke: Hm. So how the fuck did you know about it and I didn't?
Jerry Sunborne: I don't know.
[pause]
Jerry Sunborne: Maybe he knew if you did, you wouldn't let him do it again.
[says questionably]
Jerry Sunborne: Just don't take it out on her, okay? It's not her fault.
Jerry Sunborne: Hi, my name is Jerry and I'm an addict. I've been clean for 89 days. My mind is clearer, and... I think it's getting better. Every day, a little bit. But I wanna talk about this dream I keep having. It always starts with me stealing silverware. Then I go sell it to this guy who I used to know who owned a catering service. Then with the money, I go to this place where I used to buy my drug of choice, and... he's not around. So I go to other spots, right, but for some reason, no one is around. All of Seattle is dry, and then I get that feeling... the dread... and I panic. And I start running, and it's raining, and it gets dark. And then I'm in my old apartment, and I'm thrashing right through it, looking for something I might have stashed away. And I think I'm having a seizure. And then I find a balloon hidden in my suitcase. So there I am... with a bag of junk in one hand, and the money for my next fix in the other... and I feel at total, utter peace. And I wake up. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. Thank you.
