Quotes Lorna: What? I don't want to be here with you.
Andrew: I can't stop thinking of you.
Lorna: Andrew.
Andrew: I can't.
Lorna: Andrew, your wife's funeral's in here.
Andrew: She's not my wife. You're my wife. I married her because you left.
Lorna: I have an idea. Why don't you and I make out in front of her dead body? It would excite you, huh?
Andrew: This has nothing to do with her.
Lorna: You don't think so? You don't think this is her day?
Andrew: She's dead now! She doesn't have to worry now!
Lorna: You shit, you've gone crazy.
Andrew: No I haven't.
[tries to touch her]
Andrew: I masturbate thinking about you.
[Lorna turns and walks in the room]
Andrew: That time in the car - in Santa Cruz... You drove me crazy. Nobody can make me come like that. Only you can do that.
[approaching her]
Andrew: Do you think about me? Tell me! Tell me if you think about me sometimes!
[looks her in this eyes, closely]
Andrew: If you don't, I'll get out of here right now.
Lorna: Did she know about this?
[Andrew kisses Lorna]
