this ball tonight, i'll be pissed if something shows up and i get blood on this suit

a small silver lining: at least you aren’t wearing all white.

the fucking travesty if blood got anywhere near you.

i’ll have to rip off my jewelry and beat it down with my halo.

i'll hold the halo just to see this

then i guess we’d have to sacrifice the suit, won’t we?

acceptable in that situation and that situation only

is is the only i accept.

Согласна ли ты выйти за меня замуж?

Я согласна.

what do i think about love? [PAUSES, SMILES] it's complicated. i lived without it for so long i thought maybe i would be okay without having it again. not- not to say friends do not know how to love. not to say that i don't love them; they know i do. but this sort of love is different than that. there is love between two devils, love between someone you meet and leave and there is some- someone you love and you don't stop that. the person who made you understand poetry- i-i didn't get poetry until he read it to me, until the poems made me think not just of home but of him. i didn't know what love was truly like until we were together, in our home for a long time. and i didn't understand loss until i touched his ashes. i [BREAKS OFF, LAUGH] i think i'm talking too much, geir. i just... i still remember reading this and it coming back to me and understanding it. Целую Вас — через сотни Разъединяющих лет.
