- I wish i could be more like you.
- You don't wanna be like me.
- I mean You just get up and go. You take charge of things. You're your own man.
- Ned, i don't even know where i'm going.
- But that's what life's about. The adventure, the not knowing.
- No, it isn't.
- I want adventure. I want romance.
- Ned, there's no such thing as adventure. There's no such thing as romance. There's only trouble and desire.
- Trouble and desire?
- That's right, and the funny thing is, when you desire something you immediately get in trouble, and when you're in trouble you don't desire anything at all.
- I see.
- It's impossible.
- It's ironic.
- It's a fucking tragedy, is what it is, Ned.
