Quotes
-
Louie : I wanna be your friend. And it's okay with me that there's nothing else. But can I just - Can I just tell you one time the way I feel about you?
Pamela : You wanna tell me?
Louie : Yes. And I will - I'll be your friend. And I won't press you to be anything else, I promise, if you just let me get it out one time.
Pamela : You wanna tell me?
Louie : Yes. Please.
Pamela : Go ahead.
Louie : Pamela. I'm in love with you.
Pamela : Oh, God.
Louie : Yeah, it's that bad. You're so beautiful to me.
Pamela : [closing her eyes and covering her ears] Oh. Oy. Ew!
Louie : Shut up! Lemme tell you. Let me.
[Pamela smiles, giving Louie the floor]
Louie : Every time I look at your face or even remember it, it wrecks me. And the way you are with me. And you're just fun, and you're - You shit all over me. And you make fun of me, and, and you're real. I don't have enough time in any day to think about you enough. I feel like I'm gonna live a thousand years, 'cause that's how long it's gonna take me to have *one* thought about you. Which is that I'm crazy about you, Pamela. I don't wanna be with anybody else.
Pamela : [bittersweetly] Louie.
Louie : I don't! I really don't. I don't think about women anymore, I think about you. I had a dream the other night that you and I were on a train. We were on this train, and you were holding my hand. That's the whole dream: You were holding my hand. And I felt you holding my hand. I woke up, and I couldn't believe it wasn't real. I'm sick in love with you, Pamela. It's like a condition. It's like polio. I feel like I'm gonna die if I can't be with you. And I can't be with you. So I'm gonna die. And I don't care. 'Cause I was brought into existence to know you. And that's enough. The idea that you would want me back? It's like, greedy.

Louie : I'm doing a bad job at this.
Pamela : No you're not.
Louie : I'm not?
Pamela : [near tears] No. It's a good job. It's a... jewel. Good job.
