Candy: I wanna try it your way this time

Dan: I wasn't trying to wreck Candy's life. I was trying to make mine better.

Dan: When I first met Candy, those were like the days of "juice" when everything was bountiful.

Schumann: Dan's a follower, Candy - not a leader. Candy: That was beautiful. Let's have some more.

Dan: The future was a thing that gleamed, the present was so very very good...

Dan: Casper was like the dad you always wanted - the one who lets you have lollies and fizzy drink, who lets you stay up and watch the late night movies. Casper: This is Jorge. Very limited English, but very large penis! Isn't that right Jorge?

Jorge: [shrugs] ... okay. Dan: What if that was it?

Candy: That was what?

Dan: The last shot.

Candy: I wouldn't care... Casper: When you can stop, you don't want to. When you want to stop, you can't.

Dan: [reading] Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide. And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart... I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart. Dan: We had a lot going for us. We'd found the secret glue that held all things together. In a perfect place, where the noise did not intrude, our world was so very complete.

Dan: They say for every ten years you've been a junkie, you'll have spent seven of them waiting. On the one hand it was nice having all that time to think. On the other, anxiety was a full time job. Casper: [to Dan] Promise me you'll stop. Promise me you'll stop before I do.

Dan: The world is very bewildering to a junkie.

Candy: [when Dan asks if she had sex with another man] Firstly, you don't know what you're talking about. Secondly, I hate the sound of your voice. Thirdly, why don't you just fuck off?

Candy: Do you know what I do here, Dan? I have sex with men that I hate.
