I haven't even seen you for a year.
Dan Yes you have...
Only because you've stalk me outside my studio.
Dan I never stalk, I lurk. and when I'm not there, you look for me.
How do you know if you are not there?
Dan Because I am there, lurking from a distance.
Dan Didn't fancy my sandwiches?
Don't eat fish.

Fish piss in the sea.
Dan So do children.
I don't eat children either.
Dan What were you doing in New York?
You know...
Dan Well no, I don't. What, were you studying?
Stripping. Look at your little eyes...
Dan I can't see my little eyes.
Dan At six, we stand round the computer and read the next day's page, make final changes, put in a few euphemisms to amuse ourselves...
Such as?
Dan He was a convivial fellow-meaning he was an alcoholic. He valued his privacy-gay. He enjoyed his privacy-raging queen.
What would my euphemism be?
Dan She was... disarming.
That's not a euphemism.
Dan Yes, it is.
Dan I fell in love with her, Alice.
Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, I can do this, I can give in to this, or I can resist it, and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet there was one.
Dan I want Anna back.
She's made her choice.
Dan I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer.
So where's the apology, ya ****.
Dan I apologize. If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy.
She doesn't want to be happy.
Dan Everybody wants to be happy.
Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.
Dan You've ruined my life.
You'll get over it.
I hate you.
Dan I'm sorry.
Irrelevant!
**** me.
Dan Again? We have to get up at 6.
'Alice: How can one man be so endlessly disappointing?
Dan That's my charm.
Why do you love her? Is it because she is successful?
Dan No, it´s because she doesn't need me!
Dan When I get back, please tell me the truth.
Why?
Dan Because I'm addicted to it. Because without it, we're animals. Trust me.
Dan I don't wanna hurt you.
So why are you?
Dan I saw this face, this vision... the moment you stepped into the road. It was the moment of my life.
This is the moment of your life.
Dan You were perfect.
I still am.
Do you still fancy me?
Dan Of course.
You're lying. I've been you.
