Lowell:
You know, you're not going to get a lot of sympathy. Do you know how many people would give their right arm to live your life? Suzanne:
But that's the problem. I can't feel my life. I look around me and I know so much of it is good. But it's like this stuff with my mother. I know that she does these things because she loves me... but I just can't believe it. Lowell:
Maybe she'll stop mothering you when you stop needing mothering. Suzanne:
You don't know my mother. Lowell:
I don't know your mother, but I'll tell you something. She did it to you and her mother did it to her and back and back and back all the way to Eve and at some point you just say, "Fuck it, I start with me." Suzanne:
Did you just make that up? Lowell:
Yeah, well, I was working on it when you came in. If you'd shown up a half hour later like you were supposed to, it would have been better. Suzanne:
It's pretty good as it is. Lowell:
Yeah, you just like it because it sounds a little like movie dialogue. Suzanne:
