  7. “That's what I like about it too because I feel like some movies should come with. I don't want to watch a movie if it's going to be devastating usually unless it's worthwhile in some other way. But I'm kind of sensitive and I don't want. I don't like movies that have a terrible ending.

  11. “Yeah, I think it's one of those films where there's so many interesting things about it, but I'm sure one of them is just the contradiction of him being. A caring person and reluctant to get attached to her. You know, he tries to, I think he knows he is very reluctant to get attached to her in the beginning.

  15. “No, you're not imagining it. It's strange because. Was kind of a loner.
