- Amy: How about a little advice before I depart?
- Rat Billings: Love... love until you hate. Then learn to hate your love. Then forgive your hate for loving it.
- Rat Billings: How do you feel about failure?
- Amy: I failed many times.
- Rat Billings: That's good. Continue to fail. If you want to make art, you have to fail. And so, the hardest job is to fail better.
- Amy: I need a drink!
- Rat Billings: Holy mother of god.
- Amy: Make it a stiff one, buster, and make it snappy.
- Amy: I don't know if you noticed. I put some of my poems in the basket.
- Rat Billings: That's great. I'll read those... at some point.
