54Caden OtherQuotesQuotes

Caden
Caden: I know what to do with this play now. I have an idea. I think...



55CadenOtherQuotesQuotes

Caden
Caden: Here's what I think theater is: it's the beginning of thought. The truth not yet spoken. It's a blackbird in winter. The moment before death. It's what a man feels after he's been clocked in the jaw. It's love... in all its messiness. And I want all of us, players and audience alike, to soak in the communal bath of it, the mikvah, as the Jews call it. We're all in the same water, after all, soaking in our very menstrual blood and nocturnal emissions.

56Caden OtherQuotesQuotes

Caden
Caden: God, you're beautiful I have to fuck you. I have to.



57Minister OtherQuotesQuotes

Minister
Minister: And the truth is I'm so angry and the truth is I'm so fucking sad, and the truth is I've been so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long have been pretending I'm ok, just to get along, just for, I don't know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own, and their own is too overwhelming to allow them to listen to or care about mine. Well, fuck everybody. Amen.



58Minister OtherQuotesQuotes

Minister
Minister: But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved.



59Minister OtherQuotesQuotes

Minister
Minister: And they say there is no fate, but there is - it's what you create. Even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born.



60Minister OtherQuotesQuotes

Minister
Minister: Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make. You can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you'll never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce.



61Sammy OtherQuotesQuotes

Sammy
Sammy: I've watched you forever, Caden. But you've never really looked at anyone other than yourself. So watch me. Watch my heart break. Watch me jump. Watch me learn that after death there's nothing. No more watching, there's no more following, no love. Say goodbye to Hazel for me. And say it for yourself too. None of us has much time.



62Sammy OtherQuotesQuotes

Sammy
Sammy: Okay, Hazel, I don't think we need to talk to anyone else. This guy has me down. I'm going to cast him right now. Then maybe you and I can get a drink and we can try to figure out this thing between us. Why I cried. I've never felt about anyone the way I feel about you. I want to fuck you until we merge into a Chimera. A mythical beast with penis and vagina eternally fused, two pair of eyes that look only at each other, lips ever touching and one voice that whispers to itself.
