Charlie Kaufman: |
There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.
|
Donald Kaufman: |
Oh, God. I was so in love with her.
|
Charlie: |
I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.
|
Donald: |
I remember that.
|
Charlie: |
Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at *me*. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.
|
Donald: |
I knew. I heard them.
|
Charlie: |
How come you looked so happy?
|
Donald: |
I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.
|
Charlie: |
But she thought you were pathetic.
|
Donald: |
That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.
(...pause, Charles looks at Donald quizzically...)
What's up?
|
Charlie: |
Thank you. |
Donald: |
For what? |
