American Beauty

For 14 years, I've been a whore for the advertising industry, the only way I can save myself now is if I start firebombing.

I didn't loose it, it's not like woops, where'd my job go? I quit! Someone pass the asparagus.

I feel like I've been in a coma for 20 years and I'm just now waking up.

This isn't life, it's just stuff, and it's become more importnant to you than living.

I guess I could be pretty pissed about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...
And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...
You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure... but don't worry...
You will someday.

Honey, I'm proud of you. I watched you very closely, and you didn't screw up once.

This is a four thousand dollar sofa upholstered in Italian silk. It is not just a couch.

You ungrateful little brat! Just look at everything you have. When I was your age, we... lived in a duplex! We didn't even have our own house!

I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his shorts every time I bring a girlfriend home from school.

I know you think my dad's harmless, but you're wrong.

Never underestimate the power of denial.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in this world, I feel like I can't take it.

It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it, right? And this bag was like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.

If people I don't even know look at me and want to fuck me, it means I really have a shot at being a model.

You too, slut, you have a crush on him. You're defending him, you love him, you wanna have, like, ten thousand of his babies.
