“ laughing sounds a lot like screaming. “

“ there’s a sound inside me. telling me to hurry. the sound inside me that says something will soon be over. “

“ the most fascinating thing about stardom is that it’s like a kind of deformity. a fascinating face, in a state of collapse. “

“ pretty on the outside… but like a fruit, the bugs have eaten from within. “

“ is that why i fascinate? because everyone know i’ll wither? “

“ i won’t steer you wrong. “

“ we are starting a revolution, creating a new sense of values. “

“ death always approaches with silent footsteps. “

“ it’s over. all over. but it’s ok. i knew it’d happen. “

“ if i stop being pretty… if i stop being popular? then they’ll all leave me. they’ll laugh. they’ll all forget me. “

“ you’re the only one who understands me. “

“ you make me sick. “

“ you need to think about yourself. “

“ you’ve put up with a lot worse than this. “

“ no one took any notice of you. as if you didn’t exist. you were just a lump of meat. the old you… is gone, right? “

“ you’re our wild card. it’s about time we met. “

“ you were nothing when i found you, and we’ve come all this way together. “

“ i don’t just think of you as business, you know. “

“ you’re my dream, one that i created. “

“ you don’t need me! i don’t want to do this! “

“ believe it or not, i used to be not completely untalented. “

“ there’s no way someone like me can marry someone like you. “

“ you’ve done it now. i could get you sent to jail. maybe i will. “

“ but this has to be our secret. the two of us. “

“ why don’t you fall apart?! sink down as far as i have. “

“ all you had to do was try. instead you gave up without trying and now you feel sorry for yourself. “

“ life is what you decide it is. it’s true. the one who decides is you. “

“ ____… what would you know about me? “

“ you’re scattering feathers, trying to please everyone. i know that desire of yours better than anyone. “

“ i’m sorry we had to meet in these circumstances. “

“ a deep pit… i’m already in one. “

“ destroy the face. carve it wide open. it makes me sick. “

“ we’ll be forgotten. we’re machines for the processing of desires. “

“ desire doesn’t care. it just keeps on with another name and another face. “

“ being forgotten… that’s like dying! i’m going to die! “

“ it’s like… i’m going to make them all happy again. “

“ from now on, we’re up against the powerful. it’ll be a long war. “

“ your service to everyone will be wasted. in 15 minutes, they’ll forget. “

“ there’s no one who loves me. no one who needs me. so i decide, and i destroy myself. “

“ why do gods give us youth and beauty… then take them away? “

“ they’re not the same. youth is beautiful, but beauty isn’t youth. it’s more complicated, packed full of other things. “
