Dialogue List

*Note: All dialogue is voice-over narration.

I used to think that new area codes equaled new existences, but everyone still has my contact information. There are no new highways when they all have rest stops; when everyone you know is just a thumbnail representation of every gesture you've ever made; every lie you've been told; every secret you've kept; every sad, lanky bartender who wanted to run away with you in an air-conditioned car. We'll admire the crackle of burning cigarettes in the dry Texas air. No one will notice; no one will care-except for the debt collectors. They always have a friend's phone number in case you conveniently disappear. He still lives in that city. I wonder if he's still sad. He'd probably be much less attractive if he isn't.
