Excerpts from the film Comet, directed by Sam Esmail;
Dedicated to Dell and Kimberly.
"Kimberly, I used to find it really annoying you said 'so' all the time. Bugged the shit out of me. And I... I love it. I love it, now. After we have sex and you shrug your shoulders and you say 'I'm here all week!', - love that. I love that a single strand of your hair can fall so perfectly to the side and you don't even know. I love the little blue veins behind your eyes. I love your eyes. Knowing you goes down as easily the best thing that's ever happened to me. Easily. If I were a restaurant, you'd be my special, but nobody could order you, 'cause I'd just want you to be mine, just all mine. Not in, like, a biblical slavery-owning sense or a pimp-prostitute dynamic of 'you be mine, bitch', but... but just in that... you're my love. You're my love. But my favorite thing of all: I like you 'cause you like me. I don't know, I think that says a lot about how great you are as a person. So, um..."
"Why am I so hell bent on getting you back? You fucking hate Pixar movies and you still have an AOL account. I don't want to be with someone like that. It just feels so impossible letting you go."
"Oh God, she's beautiful. She's beyond beautiful, she's real. She seems funny too and a hint of crazy, I can feel it. Beautiful, crazy, funny. Jesus Christ, she's perfect. And that's really annoying. Really annoying."
"I feel like I'm in the wrong world because I don't belong in the world where we don't end up together. There are parallel universes out there where this didn't happen. Where I was with you and you were with me. And whatever universe that is, that's the one that my heart lives in."
"If you're capable of making choices that knowingly hurts the other person, that's not love."
"No matter how bad our relationship got, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for it. Because I needed it. I needed you in this life."
"I'm always so afraid I'm gonna miss the important things in life. Something about you has given me a heightened curiosity to know you better. And that is a near impossible feat when it comes to me because I hate getting to know people."
"You know, I never thought love was real. I didn't. And now I think life isn't real without it."
"He called himself a Bob Dylan song and then proceeded to call me a Britney Spears song. I don't know what it means either, but it sounds insulting."
"I'm glad we dated. I needed to date someone like you. Before you I only dated guys who looked good on paper... You were really, really smart. But also selfish, crass. Not always in an entertaining way, mind you. You hated your job, your life, you were completely comfortable being miserable. You were horrible on paper. And I loved you. Being with you made me realize that it doesn't have to look good on paper to feel good."
"Believe me when I say... you almost had me."
