River

River2015



Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson:
You're jealous.

John River:
I'm not jealous. This isn't jealousy. I'm just trying to find out the truth. I'm trying to find out who did this to you. Who you ARE!

Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson:
Is it so surprising that I might have had a boyfriend?

John River:
You have your arms around him. You're smiling and you have your arms around him.

Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson:
Didn't you ever wonder?

John River:
You didn't tell. I didn't ask.

Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson:
And you weren't ever curious?

John River:
[Scoffs] The thought that... The thought that someone... And that he then... And he then... That he could be the person that did this to you... If it was sex you wanted...

Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson:
Then what? And you would have given it to me? If that had been true, then we would have... We would have...

John River:
We're born alone. We die alone.

Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson:
You always say that, but there's more to that quote, you know. I couldn't take my clothes off with the lights on. How was I ever going to take my clothes off for a man? For just any man? Sex is an itch you just scratch. But love... That's the itch so far down your back, you can't ever reach it with your own hand.
