Embry Larkin You have no grace. Sopranos, this piece was written by monks who believed in God. They're singing not to other monks but to God. They're singing about God to God. And you think I'm a tough audience. This is the spirit dissolving in the music carrying up to God. Open up and let her rip. Don't perform... create. Say, 'Muse, I hate you, but I hate you on my knees.' Scream, 'I am the infantile center of the goddamn universe!' Everyone! I go away for a while a look what happens. You let the whole place fall apart. I won't make stupid threats but your not gonna run away with this guy because wherever you go, I can follow you.... even if it's to the woods in New Hampshire. Why won't you yell....Come on I dare you. Samantha Harper They want Vietnamese orphans... and engineers. God, why wasn't I born a Vietnamese orphan? I'll have a double order of escape fantasy and a side order of running away. Dialogue Male Interviewer: Tell us about a problem you've encountered. Katie: My guidance counselor tried to keep me from applying to good schools. I thought she was my friend. She said she understood me and that I would be happier staying close to home, junior college or secretarial school. She hated me. Male Interviewer: What action did you take? Katie: I invited a senator who attended college here to speak at our school. Male Interviewer: And what was the result? Katie: I got a strong letter of recommendation from a U.S. Senator, was accepted early decision and they gave me lots of financial aid. Male Interviewer: And what did you learn from this experience? Katie: Truthfully? Male Interviewer: Of course. Katie: Mrs. Castleman was a sneaky bitch. It was the first time I was betrayed by someone I trusted. I looked up to her. I didn't come close to understanding the depth to which she resented me. I learned that people who help me, who invest in me become my partners, and my success is their success that relationships are symbiotic. I learned responsibility based on others' faith in me. I hope to be able to pay some dividends to those investors. Female Interviewer: How many pennies do you think it would take to fill this room? Katie: With or without us in it? Amanda: Word is, you slaughtered it. I talked to Brian whose brother dates that cold fish, Susan. Did you really call some lady a bitch? Katie: Slight exaggeration. Amanda: Yeah, they saw sixty people and liked exactly two - you and a North Korean girl who speaks eight languages. Katie: They said that? Katie: Do you know where Harrison is? Embry: The tree hugger? I don't really keep tabs on him Katie: Have you seen him lately? Embry: Wouldn't you like to know? Katie: You piss me off like nobody else, you know that? Embry: Yeah? Katie: Yeah. Embry: What are you gonna do about it, I want you to come away with me to the country house. Katie: Where is Harrison? Embry: I'll tell you at the country house.
