Just when it can’t get any worse, you run out of cigarettes.
Carol (2015) dir. Todd Haynes
I’m sorry. What am I thinking? I’m thinking that I am utterly selfish. I should have said no to you. But I never say no. And it’s selfish because I take everything. Because I don’t know anything. I don’t know what I want. How could I if I just say yes to everything?
“I should have said ‘No’ to you but I never say ‘No’. And it’s selfish because I just take everything and I don’t know anything. And I don’t know what I want. How could I when all I ever do is say ‘Yes’ to everything? — I took what you gave willingly. It’s not your fault, Therese.
