Quotes
|
Kate Breck: Sometimes I want sweet. Sometimes I want sour. Sometimes I don't know what I want. My shit stinks. I'm going to die one day. Oldest Kitchen Porter: I fucking hate this job, but it's my job. D'ya understand? Hallam Foe: [nods] Oldest Kitchen Porter: I killed a man once. Smashed his skull on a pier. Just so ya know. Kate Breck: I'm a real live human being Hallam. Sometimes I want sweet; sometimes I want sour. Sometimes I don't know what I want. My shit stinks. I'm going to die someday. If I look like your mother, it's just a coincidence. Am I telling you anything you don't already know? Hallam Foe: Is there anything I can do to make it up to you? Kate Breck: [pensively and with regret] Probably not. Hallam Foe: Look, you're very attractive but I'm very politically committed to the gay cause. |
