Loretta: I went with you already.
(pause, nothing)
 
Now I'm gonna marry Johnny and
you're gonna leave me alone.
 
(pause, nothing)
 
Right?
(nothing)
 
A person can see where they've
messed up in their life, and they
can change how they do things, and
they can change their Luck.  Maybe
my nature does draw me to you, but
I don't haveta go with that.  I
can take hold of myself and say
yes to some things and no to
something that's just gonna ruin
everything!  I can do that.
Otherwise, what is this stupid
life that God gave us for what?
 
(pause, nothing)
 
Ronny?  Are you listening to me?
 
RONNY: Yeah.
 
LORETTA: I'm really afraid.
 
RONNY: Why?
 
LORETTA: I'm afraid of who I am.


 
RONNY: I was. 
 
LORETTA: And you're not now?
 
(He shakes his head)
 
LORETTA: Why not?

 
RONNY: I don't know.  Everything seems
like nothing now against that I
want you in my bed.  I don't care
if I burn in hell.  I don't care
if you burn in hell.  The Past and
Future is a joke to me now.  I see
that they're nothing, I see they
ain't here.  The only thing that's
here is you.  And me.  I want you
to come upstairs.  Now. I tried to
take everything last night, like
you told me, but I couldn't.  I
couldn't take everything in a
hundred years.  It's the way we
are.  We compound each other.
 
LORETTA: Let me go home. 

 
RONNY: No.
 
LORETTA: Let me go home.
  
RONNY: No.
 
LORETTA: I'm freezing to death.
 
RONNY: Come upstairs.  I don't care why

you come.  No, that's not what I
mean.  Loretta, I love you.  Not
like they told you love is and I
didn't know this either.  But love
don't make things nice, it ruins
everything, it breaks your heart,
it makes things a mess. We're not
here to make things perfect.

Snowflakes are perfect.  The stars
are perfect.  Not us.  We are here
to ruin ourselves and break our
hearts and love the wrong people
and die! The storybooks are
bullshit.  Come upstairs with me,
baby!  Don't try to live your life
out to somebody else's idea of
sweet happiness.  Don't try to
live on milk and cookies when what
you want is meat! Red meat just
like me!  It's wolves run with
wolves and nothing else!  You're a
wolf just like me! Come upstairs
with me and get in my bed!  Come
on!
 
...Hmm, anyway. I happen to be in an awesome mood right now.
 Tuesday tomorrow, meaning school. Oh well. Life's a compromise ain't it?
 Later loves, mucho heart ❤
