Movie: The United States of Leland (The United States of Leland)

You know that I'm sorry? It doesn't change anything, but I'm really sorry...

At different times and with different people, but it happens to everyone. The worst part of growing up is a broken heart, but it's part of life...

I don't want to hurt you.
- So don't.
- I'm sorry, I'm confused. Say that for you it matters, but you can not see has anything for you?!..
It is very large.
- Show me what matter?
- How do I show it?! To yell at you?! Scream! To hit you? If I do, does it show that you're important to me? I love you. No matter what I said, it will not change anything because you love each other.

I think there are only two ways to look at the world: either you see a very sad or you just try to ignore it.

I think I know what the definition of love.
- You know in your heart if you love someone.
- Love not in the heart, it is in the language. And it's just a word. That's all.

- Say, you - the writer.
- You're not a writer unless people read what you write. I am an aspiring writer.

... And then I realized that tears cannot bring back the dead to life. There is one more thing that you should know about tears - they can't force someone who doesn't love you anymore love you again. Prayers like tears. I wonder how many tears and prayers people spend on God, trying to make what happened not be repeated. But I think the Devil is preferable to the Lord. I understand why people want him around: well, when there's someone on whom you can blame for bad things you've done.

- When you were little, did you believe that there are angels?
- Maybe when I was little, I believed. My grandmother died when I was very young. Since then, when I'm arguing with my mother, masturbate or do something... I have a bad feeling, like grandma is watching me from heaven, and frowns.
- I don't think, looking at us, they frown. I think they watch over us like guardian angels take care of us, making sure nothing bad happened, that all was in order.
- Why, then, is not so good always?
- Maybe they are lazy?
Hmm...
What?
Yeah, you know, just... funny, lazy angels. I once submitted to these big fat guys with wings, drinking beer and playing Darts...
- I wish you were my guardian angel. I want you watching me, so I was fine.
- Your hair smells like strawberries...
Is the shampoo and not the hair.
- I still like.
- I'm serious. I want you said you'd always be around.
But I'm going to be in other places.
- Just tell me that everything will be fine.
- It is impossible to be sure that everything will be okay.
I know, but sometimes you need to say things that are not always true because you want it to be so. And sometimes that's enough. Just tell me that everything will be fine. Whisper to me ear...
- ... everything will be fine.

I know they want me. They want to know why. They need a reason. Something that can be linked with a small skeleton in the closet, hidden so well, like it or not. They want me to say I'm sorry. That to blame my mother, my father, that it happened because of TV, movies... or to blame some girl.

- You know what's really funny we, the people? After the earthquake we see how people pull each other from under the debris, the people rejoice the end of the earthquake, the fact that they survived. But after a couple of days all forget about it...
It shows that people still have good.
At least, during the earthquake...

- Why did You do it?
- Because of the sorrow.
- What is grief? Whose sadness?
- Your grief.

You have to believe that life is much more than the some of its parts.

I looked into her eyes. In them was reflected all the lights of the city.

If you do not take the world to heart, it will not break...
