- Quotes
[last lines]
Johanna Morrigan: So, what do you do when you've built yourself, only to realize you've built yourself with the wrong things? You rip it up and start again. Build it up and tear it down. Endlessly, repetitively, unceasingly. Invent, invent, invent. What will eventually be you? One day, you'll marvel over what you did. Marvel over how you tried to keep the loud, drunken, laughing, cutting, panicking, unbearably present secret of yourself - when really you were just about as secret as the moon. And as luminous under all those clothes. And how, like all the best quests, you did it all for a girl. You.
Only 5 stars because it was a poor film anyway.
