The Unbelievable Truth (1989, Hal Hartley)

gratidão

At home Carole and I drank Jim Beam, and not much of it. But I was somebody else here, a sugar daddy from Singapore. Flowers and liquor — what else could I take Jane to clothe my gratitude? Sex paid for, however inadequately, was better — clearer, more naked, more of a rush — than married sex that we expect to sneak up on us for free.

Ce que j'espère c'est qu'il aura beaucoup de pénalty. C'est ça que j'aime bien.

amor

(...) trabalhando meticulosamente, os dedos longos e finos à frente dos seios de bicos duros, apertados na camisa de algodão, o rosto atento de menina — e me disse candidamente "essa coisa preta nas costas do camarão é merda". Foi nessa hora que eu descobri que amava Lilian também.
