Quote context

[...]

- What did he die of?

- Of a lot of things. Of alcohol, of moral anemia, of fear, of shame, D.T.'s.

- Oh, that Don Birnam. And now you want to kill the other one.

- What other?

- There were two Dons. You told me so yourself. Don the drunk and Don the writer.

- Let's not go back to a fancy figure of speech. There's only one Don, he's through.

- Don...

- I'm all right, I still have enough strength left...

Top rated lines from this movie

Two bottles of rye. -What brand? -You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest. None of that twelve year old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me. Liquor is all one, anyway.
You know the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning...

That's what's going to be hard to write. Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. It's so simple. You've got to catch it through details... like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rainspout in front of her house.
