There are four columns of lovely women in here, and only one of four men. The odds are on our side. Now why wouldn't any of these women want to meet a nice person like you?
Ronald James McGorvey
I'm not a nice person.
You're a miracle, Ronnie. We're all miracles. Know why? Because as humans, every day we go about our business, and all that time we know... we all know... that the things we love, at any time now can be all be taken away. We live knowing that and we keep going anyway. Animals don't do that.
[helping Ronnie getting ready for his date]
There, you look handsome. She won't be disappointed.
Ronald James McGorvey
Yeah, wait till she hears about my criminal record.
Do you need nelp?
Ronald James McGorvey
She's gone.
Who's gone?
Ronald James McGorvey
Mommy's gone.
I'm sorry.
Ronald James McGorvey
Mommy died.
There are four whole columns of lonely women here, and only a handful of men. The odds are on our side. Why wouldn't one of these women want to meet a nice person like you?
Ronald James McGorvey
I'm not a nice person.
You did a bad thing. But that doesn't mean you're a bad person.
Ronald James McGorvey
I have a psychosexual disorder.
You're better now. They wouldn't have let you out if you weren't.
Ronald James McGorvey
They let me out because they had to.
Well, maybe if you found a girlfriend closer to your own age, you wouldn't have the bad urges so often.
Ronald James McGorvey
I don't want a girlfriend my own age, Mommy. I wish I did.
What are you going to do when I'm gone? Who's going to take care of you?
Ronald James McGorvey
What's the matter, Mommy? Are you sick or something?
I'm an old woman. I'm not going to live forever. Who's going to cook for you? Who's going to wash the dishes?
Ronald James McGorvey
I can wash the dishes.
You've never washed a dish in your life.
Ronald James McGorvey
I could do it if I had to, I'm not a ****.
No, you're not. You're a miracle, Ronnie. We're all miracles. You know why? Because as humans, everyday we go about our business, and all that time we know, we all know that the things we love, the people we love... at any time, it can all be taken away. We live knowing that and we keep going anyway. Animals don't do that.
