You smile.

Lucky:

One of these days, I'm just going to light up. Elaine:
My place, my rules. Lucky:
Ownership is a fallacy. Elaine:
Why can't you just live by the rules? Lucky:
Authority is arbitrary and subjective. Elaine:
This is the same kind of attitude that got you 86-ed from Eve's. Lucky:
What do you know of it? Elaine:
I know you lit up. Lucky:
That's what you think happened. Elaine:
If you didn't light up, why did they kick you out? Lucky:
They didn't kick me out, I walked out. Elaine:
That's a good story. Howard:
I like that story. Lucky:
It's not a story. Elaine:
Then what is it? Lucky:
It's the truth. Elaine:
The truth is, you lit up! Lucky:
It's not about the cigarettes, it's about what I know happened, and what you think happened. Paulie:
I wish I had been there. Lucky:
You could have been there and still have missed it. Elaine:
You broke the rules. You got busted and banned. That's the truth. Paulie:
Look, how about if we all agree to disagree? Lucky:
No. I know the truth and the truth matters! Vincent:
It's a thing. Right? Lucky:
Yes, truth is a thing. It's the truth of who we are and what we do. And you have to face that, and accept it. Because the truth of the universe is waiting. Elaine:
I'm lost. Lucky:
The truth of what is, for all of us. Paulie:
Which is... Lucky:
That it's all going to go away. You, you, you, you, me, this cigarette, everything into blackness, the void. And nobody's in charge. And you're left with... Ungatz. Paulie:
Ungatz. Vincent:
Nothing. Lucky:
Nothing. That's... that's all there is. Elaine:
And what do you do with that? Howard:
What do we do with that? Lucky:
[surveys the bar and chuckles]
You smile. [last word]
