Nate

Sorry, there was an accident on the 405. Both cars totaled. Should have stopped to hand out cards.

Come on, Dave. I watch Will & Grace. I have gay-dar.

Well, technically speaking, I'm as old as I'm ever going to get.

You know, some complete stranger just grabbed my ass! Isn't this fabulous?

What, that's it? … Sick part is, I understand it. … Sometimes I'm boring.

David

Me, too. [awkward silence]

Ruth

Sometimes people are hard to take but only because the first side they present is annoying or aggressive because they're nervous. After you spend some time with them you realize maybe there's another side to them that's worth knowing

Aren't you enjoying this even one bit?

David

Yeah, I'm loving it. Why?

Well, your dick isn't responding.

Please, God. Help me. Take this pain away. Please fill this loneliness with your love. Help me, God, please, help me.

Why do people have to die?

To make life important.
