- Mary: We all have our loops. Our habits. Behaviors that keep us walking in circles. Reaching for the same solutions over and over again. Thinking each time will take you somewhere new, but they don't. And still, it's the neural pathway of least resistance. A path you made. It's the one that kept you safe when you were a child. You learned to push people away before they could hurt you. And now, as an adult, you're still stuck right where you started. Alone.
- Clark: For starters, they can't feel anything. Can you imagine how good that must feel? I mean, there's no thoughts, no pain, no ego. No fear. They simply... exist. Like furniture.
- Mary: I'm not your wife!
- Clark: Stay in character!
- [Mary shakes the fake hair from her head]
- Clark: Stay in character!
- Mary: I've never even met her!
- Clark: [Again] Stay in character!
- Mary: Fuck you!
- Clark: [pause] What did you say?
- Mary: You want to know the real reason your wife left you? It wasn't the drinking! or the stumbling home at all hours or the rage! It was the whining! Nothing's ever your fault is it? You drink too much? Blame your job. You hate your job? Blame the world. You get kicked out of the house? Blame your wife. You attack me and tie me up? Blame your brain- you are your fucking brain, you dipshit!
- Clark: You're saying it's my fault?
- Mary: Yes. But it's just the way you're wired, isn't it? Isn't it?
- Clark: Imagine describing a dog to someone who's never seen one before and then asking them to draw it. They might get some things right, you know, but there is no way they would get everything right, you know? The devil is in the details.
- Nora: Mary... Mary... what were you thinking? I never ever, ever said you could go outside! It's no good. They're all over the place.
