“I'm playing; I'm here. I'm going to fight until they tell me they don't want me anymore.”

“But don't go thinking that I'm critical of you, Anton, because really I'm not. Not a bit! It's just that you're not here. I'm alone and I'm frightened and you're not here. And you're not ever going to be here for me.”

“Suddenly, I don't want to be this person anymore. I don't want to pretend I'm fooling the world when I'm not. I want someone else to have a plan for me, because I'm not doing a very good job myself.”

“Just leave me alone. I'm not myself. I'm falling apart, and I don't want you here.”

“No, I'm not mistaken. I know you don't love me. But I'm going to fight for your love. There are some things in life that are worth fighting for to the end. You are worth it.”

“I'm not going to run, I'm going to stand here and watch. Every blow will cut into my heart, and tell me who and what you are.”
