— What's going on is I still have feelings for you.
— What?
— Why do you think I go to Granny's every morning at 7:15? It's to see you. And I don't know why. Because it just makes me miserable, because every time I see you, it just reminds me that you chose Kathryn instead of me. And that's why I didn't want you to come to the woods with me. Because being around you is too... It's too painful.
— You think this is funny?
— No! No, it's just... The reason I go to Granny's every morning at 7:15 is to see you.
For my whole life, I didn't know if I even really existed. But I do, and people are starting to notice.

— Murray, one small thing?
— Yeah?
— When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?
Confession is good for the soul. Provided you can delete it.
— Please, don't go! You can't leave, please. I'll never forgive you!
— I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never forgive myself. If a bullet gets me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. Thereis one thing I do know, and that is I love you, Scarlett. Inspite of you and meand the world going to pieces, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd, but able to look things in the eye and call them by name.
You are pretty much the only thing that makes me wanna get up in the morning.
What I wanted to say was... I think you're the kindest, sweetest, prettiest person I've ever met in my life. I've never seen anyone that's nicer to people than you are. And the first time I saw you something happened to me. I never told you... but I knew that I wanted to hold you as hard as I could. I don't deserve someone like you. But if I ever could... I swear I would love you for the rest of my life.
