【选段台词】

Pat：Hey! Hey, wait a second! What are you doing? What happened? How come you weren't outside? What the hell's going on?

Tiffany：I can't, I can't do it.

Pat：What do you mean, you can't do it? You can't do what?

Tiffany：I can't give the letter to Nikki.

Pat：Tiffany, what are you talking about? What do you mean you can't give the letter to Nikki?

Tiffany：Because what am I getting in return? What are you doing for me? You said!

Pat：You said if I wrote a letter, you'd get it to Nikki.

Tiffany：I know.

Pat：That was the set-up.

Tiffany：Because I do this time after time after time, I do all this shit for other people and then I wake up and, and I'm empty, I have nothing!

Pat：What are you talking about? You seem like you're a tough girl to me. Why don't you just do things on your own?

Tiffany：I always get myself in these fucking situations. I give everything to other people and nobody ever, I never... I don't get what I want, okay? I'm not my sister.

Pat：Alright, well, ask for you. What can I do for you?

Tiffany：I can't do it.

Pat：Tiffany, what do you want me to do? Think of something.

Tiffany：There's this thing.

Pat：There's a thing, okay. What kind of thing?

Tiffany：It's a thing, it's a thing. It's a, it's a dance thing.

Pat：It's a dance thing, all right.

Tiffany：It's a competition thing at the Benjamin Franklin hotel. Tommy would never do it with me and I missed it every single year.

Pat：Well, Tommy's dead, so he's not gonna fucking do it.

Tiffany：Would you please!

Pat：I don't have a filter when I talk. 

Tiffany：Can we have one conversation without you reminding me that my goddamn husband is dead?

Pat：Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry.

Tiffany：But I can only do it if I have a partner... And now I'm about to miss it for another year.

Pat：Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not gonna fuckin' dance with you. What are you talking about?

Tiffany：What, your schedule is so busy? “grapes of wrath” and watching football with your dad?

Pat：Tiffany, I'm not gonna do a dance with you.

Tiffany：All right, then I'm not giving her your fucking letter.

Pat：Wait a second! But you promised you would do this.

Tiffany：Think about it.

Pat：Well, I already did do something for you, you know.

Tiffany：What did you do for me?

Pat：I took care of that jerk off that was in front of your house.

Tiffany：What? Jordie?

Pat：Let me ask you something. Do you call him when you're lonely? That encourages him, Tiffany. You shouldn't do it.

Tiffany：Couldn't you say the same about you and Nikki?

Pat：It's not at all like me and Nikki. What are you talking about? We're in love and we're married. It's completely different.

Tiffany：How are you in love? Tell me about that. The big Nikki love. Tell me about it, I wanna understand it.

Pat：We have a very unconventional chemistry, it makes people feel awkward, but not me. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever been with.

Tiffany：Wow.

Pat：It's electric between us, okay? Yeah, we wanna change each other, but that's normal, couples wanna do that, I want her to stop dressing like she dresses, I want her to stop acting so superior to me, okay? And she wanted me to lose weight and stop my mood swings, both of which I've done. I mean, people fight. Couples fight. We would fight, we wouldn't talk for a couple weeks. That's normal. She always wanted the best for me. She wanted me to be passionate and compassionate. And that's a good thing. You know? I just, look, I'm my best self today, and I think she's her best self today, and our love's gonna be fucking amazing.

Tiffany：It's gonna be amazing, and you're gonna be amazing, and she's gonna be amazing, and you're not gonna be that guy that's gonna take advantage of a situation without offering to do something back. So think about the dance thing.
