Quotes

Jessie Cassidy: Eddie, I know that look in your eyes. You're saying, "What'd I do wrong now?" You didn't do anything wrong, Eddie. You never have, I guess for you, and you never will, because you don't do things for the same reasons as other people. You don't even live in the same world. You've got one all for yourself, the world by, for, and with Eddie Miller. Nobody's going to ever share your life, are they Eddie? They're just going to help you live it. Isn't that it?
