• Jane : Tony, how'd you get it?

  Tony : What? I don't know.

  Jane : Well, you must know.

  Tony : No.

  Jane : Well, you never did drugs, right? Was it a blood transfusion? Did you ever street hustle?

  Tony : No!

  Jane : Look, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

  Tony : Well, maybe not for you! You're not ashamed of nothing!

  Jane : Is that what happened?

  Tony : No! Just shut up about it!

  Jane : Okay, okay. I'm sorry, okay? Look, I won't mention it again. Tony, I'm sorry.

  Tony : My dad...

  Jane : What?

  Tony : My dad gave it to me.

  Jane : Your dad?

  Tony : Yeah. Gave it to me and he gave it to my mom. Get it now? My mom, she never drowned. She died from the same fucking thing I'm gonna die from.

• Jane : [shaking him]  Tell me what's wrong with you! What is it? Is it cancer or something? Goddammit, Tony, tell me what it is!

  Tony : [quietly]  AIDS.

  Jane : [quickly lets go of him]  Oh, Jesus!

  Tony : No, don't worry. You can't get it from touching me.

  Jane : I'm not afraid of getting it.

  Tony : Sure...

  Jane : I already got it, you stupid kid.

  Tony : What?

  Jane : Yeah. But evidently, you got it a whole lot worse.

• Jane : [catches Tony staring at her]  What?

  Tony : Remember when you asked why you?

  Jane : Hmm?

  Tony : Why I followed you out of the hospital?

  Jane : Oh, yeah.

  Tony : I thought you were an angel. I saw you out of the window. I thought you were an angel.

• Tony : [about going back to the hospital]  I'm gonna die in there! Don't make die in there! I want to die with you!

  Jane : What? C'mon why? Huh? Why?

  Tony : 'Cause I love you.

  Jane : You don't even know me. How can you love me?

  Tony : I don't know. I love you.

• Jane : It's okay. I'm just gonna wash your hair.

  Tony : [embarrassed that Jane is watching him take a bath]  I'll wash my own hair.

  Jane : C'mon, let me. I used to be a hairdresser once.

  Tony : Yeah?

  Jane : Yeah.

  Tony : So, you didn't always do nasty stuff for a job?

  Jane : No, not always.

  Tony : That's good. That stuff's like underneath you, you know?

  Jane : Thank you.

  Tony : Don't mention it.

• Jane : I know you're following me, little man.

  Tony : You're a goddamn junkie, ain't you?

  Jane : Junk-ette. Fact, I used to dance in The Junk-ettes.

  Tony : My brother was a goddamn junkie.

  Jane : So, is he no longer with us?

  Tony : No. He's in the big junkyard in heaven.

  Jane : That's pretty funny.

  Tony : Tell him Tony says hey when you get there.

• Jane : [after Tony has tied Jane to a chair]  Tony, why are you doing this?

  Tony : You asked me to.

  Jane : No, I mean why are you looking after me?

  Tony : Somebody's gotta.

  Jane : Yeah, but why you?

  Tony : I ain't got nothing better to do.

  Tony : Does this thing work?

  Jane : A little.

  Jane : [stares at Tony]  My guardian angel.
