Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place. Ada: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments. Inman: A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. You were always carrying a tray.

'I pray I am in your thoughts. You are all that keeps me from slidin' into some dark place,' How did I keep you? We barely knew each other, It was a few moments. A thousand moments. They're like a bag,, , of tiny diamonds. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck. That's real. The way you felt under my hands when I pulled you to me. You were ploughing a field. You were carrying a tray, You wouldn't come in, - No, I wouldn't go in. So that's why I had to carry a tray, So I could come out to see you. That kiss. Which I kissed every day of my walking. Every day I was waiting. Longing. Longing to see your face. If you could see my inside,,. Now, whatever you wanna name it - my spirit? That's what I fear. I think I'm ruined. They kept tryin' to put me in the ground, But I wasn't ready, - Inman,,.
