- To marry someone with power, money, vision. Someone with a special purpose.

- I've got one! I've got a special purpose!

- Yes, it's fantastic! It's great! It's unbelievable! And I was afraid to tell you about it! Your mother's gonna love me!

- Marie, are you awake? Good.

- You look so beautiful and peaceful, you almost look dead.

- And I'm glad because there's something I wanna say that's always been very difficult, for me to say.

- I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit. I've never been relaxed enough around anyone to be able to say that. You give me confidence in myself.

- The first day seemed like a week. And the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again.

- And the fourth day seemed like eight days. But the fifth day, you went to see your mother. And that seemed just like a day.

- But then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days.

- So in the evening, it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day. And that started seeming like four days.
