"Most of us have to take acceptable happiness. Most of us take lovers that want us and are glad to have them. Most of us never get to have anything resembling perfect happiness, so why don’t you go on and be with the girl who wants you and stop rubbing the fact that one time in your very long life you got the chance to be perfectly happy in the faces of those of us who never have."

"I wasn’t trying to..."

"You see that’s just it, you don’t have to try. You walk in the room, everyone knows you’ll always have that moment of perfect bliss, you carry it like a burden when really it’s the one thing the rest of us will spend all the years of our lives looking for."

"You’ll get that too, Wes, and yours won’t come with the death and the mayhem, and the..."

"I’ll never get that moment."

"Why not?"

"Because I’m about to walk to the lab and pretend to be interested in something very boring so that Fred will smile, and you are about to agree to breakfast with yet another blonde woman who loves you, and tomorrow, when we wake up, this moment between us won’t mean anything to you. You won’t even think of it again, and I’m going to be asking myself for the rest of my life why I couldn’t just kiss you and be done with it. Goodnight Angel."
