(voice-over) "See, the
hardest thing for me was leaving the life. I still loved the life.

back the bookies.
- "Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When
I was broke, I would go out and rob some more. We
ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges.
Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now
it's all over."
(voice-over) "And
that's the hardest part. Today,
everything is different. There's no action.
I have to wait around like everyone else.
Can't even get decent food. Right after I
got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara
sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup.
I'm an average nobody. I get to live the
rest of my life like a schnook."

dream about him anymore. Still, things won't ever be the way they were
before he came. But that's alright, because if you hang onto the past

out to them. Of course, now I'm too old to be much of a fisherman.
And now I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends
think I shouldn't. But when I am alone in the half-light of the canyon,
all existence seems to fade to a being with my soul and memories, and
the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm - and
the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one,
and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great
flood, and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the
rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some
of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters." |

True Romance (1993)

(voice-over from beginning and at the end
of the film)
"I
had to come all the way from the highways and byways of Tallahassee,
Florida to Motor City, Detroit to find my true love. If you gave me
a million years to ponder, I would never have guessed that true romance
and Detroit would ever go together. And to this day, the events that
followed all seem like a distant dream. But the dream was real, and
was to change our lives forever. I kept asking Clarence why our world
seemed to be collapsing and everything seemed so shitty. And he'd say,
'That's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too.'
That's the way romance is. Usually, that's the way it goes, but every
once in awhile, it goes the other way too...."
"Amid the chaos
of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and
all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed
that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through
my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you're so cool,
you're so cool,
you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would
have done if he had died, if that bullet had been two inches more to
the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not gonna satisfy
him with a response. But I always do. I tell him of how I would want
to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the
stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are now. Perhaps.
Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis."

I thought Tristan would never live to be an old man. I was wrong

him most who died young. He was a rock they broke themselves against,
however much he tried to protect them. But he had his honor and
a long life and he saw his children grow and raise their own families. Tristan
died in 1963 in the Moon of the Popping Trees. He was last seen up
in the north country, where hunting was still good. His grave is
unmarked, but it does not matter. He had always lived in the borderland,
anyway, somewhere between this world and the other. It was a good

on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of
evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will
strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know
I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.' I been sayin' that
s--t for years, and if you heard it, that meant your ass. I never
gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some coldblooded
s--t to say to a motherf--ker before I popped a cap in his ass. But
I saw some s--t this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinkin'
maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and
Mr. 9-millimeter here, he's the shepherd protectin' my righteous ass
in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man,
and I'm the shepherd, and it's the world that's evil and selfish. Now,
I'd like that. But that s--t ain't the truth. The truth is, you're
the weak and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm

And we had lunch about a year after that. It was nice to see them,
but it wasn't like the old days. Stuart ended up becoming incredibly
monogamous to a girl, if you can believe that. In fact, I heard they
even got married. Alex, on the other hand, enjoyed staying single
for a long time, though she admitted to sometimes missing the rejection
from doomed relationships. Whenever I talk to her, she always manages
to refer to my boyfriend as the other woman. My college experience
wasn't what I had planned. It bore no resemblance to the pictures
in the brochure. But I'm not unhappy. I don't think any of us are.
We got what we needed out of it. It's kind of like when you go on
vacation. You plan everything out but then one day you make a wrong
turn or take a detour and you end up in some crazy place you can't
even find on the map, doing something you never thought you'd do.

good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already
said it best, so if you can't top it, steal from them and go
out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not
enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may
have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic
chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they
will be, by the better angels of our nature.'"

on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars. (gunshot) And
yellow leaves from the maple trees that lined our street. (gunshot) Or
my grandmother's hands and the way her skin seemed like paper. (distant
gunshot) And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's
brand-new Firebird. And Janie. And Janie. And Carolyn. I guess I
could be pretty pissed off 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."
