Making the music for Don Jon

Max: Can you do me a favour? Can you describe the day for me? What's it like outside?

Liesel: It's cloudy.

Max: No, no, no. Make the words yours. If your eyes could speak….what could they say?

Liesel: It's a pale day.

Max: "Pale." Good. Go on.

Liesel: Everything's stuck behind a cloud. And the sun….doesn't look like the sun.

Max: What does it look like?

Liesel: Like a silver oyster?

Max: Thank you. I saw that.

As a girl you see the world as a giant candy store filled with sweet candy and such. But one day you look around and you see a prison and you're on death row. You wanna run or scream or cry but something's locking you up. Are the other folks cows chewing cud until the hour comes when their heads roll? Or are they just keeping quiet like you, planning their escape.

Charlie's Last Letter

HOW TO LIVE SAFELY IN A SCIENCE FICTIONAL UNIVERSE 

“…unfortunately, it’s true: time does heal. It will do so whether you like it or not, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. If you’re not careful, time will take away everything that ever hurt you, everything you have ever lost, and replace it with knowledge. Time is a machine: it will convert your pain into experience. Raw data will be compiled, will be translated into a more comprehensible language. The individual events of your life will be transmuted into another substance called memory and in the mechanism something will be lost and you will never be able to reverse it, you will never again have the original moment back in its uncategorized, preprocessed state. It will force you to move on and you will not have a choice in the matter.” 

A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?
