Christina Ricci: Selby

Monster

Selby

Selby: We can be as different as we wanna be, but you can't kill people!
Aileen: SAYS WHO? I'm good with the Lord. I'm fine with him. And I know how you were raised, alright? And I know how people fuckin' think out there, and fuck, it's gotta be that way. They've gotta tell you that 'Thou shall not kill' shit and all of that. But that's not the way the world works, Selby. Cuz I'm out there every fuckin' day living it. Who the fuck knows what God wants? People kill each other every day and for what? Hm? For politics, for religion, and THEY'RE HEROES! No, no... there's a lot of shit I can't do anymore, but killing's not one of them. And letting those fucking bastards go out and rape someone else isn't either!

Selby: I just wanna live, Lee. I just want a normal happy life. I don't know why you did this.
Aileen: Because I love you. Because I love you and I never wanna to loose you and that's all. I love you from my heart, my soul, my mind. And I never let you down. All right? Because it was me. It was only me. And I'll tell them that, ok. It's over for me now. And I never gonna see you again.
Selby: Yeah, I know.
Aileen: I wish there was a way that people can forgive you for something about this, you know. But they can't. They can't, man. So I gonna die, Sel... Hey Sel, I'll never forget you. Good bye, baby. Bye baby.
Selby: Good bye, Lee.

Selby: [angrily crying] Why did you quit hooking?
Aileen: Because- cause, I needed to, alright?
Selby: Because you thought I was stupid enough to support you!
Aileen: No! Selby...
Selby: That you wouldn't even have to fuck me to get it because I'm so hard-up!
Aileen: NO! No, Selby. That's not the reason...
Selby: You said we were gonna party, party, party, Lee! Well, there hasn't been a fucking party!
Aileen: [nods] I know! But...
Selby: What have you done about it? NOTHING... when I tell you that I'm starving!
Aileen: I know, alright? I just...
Selby: 'Cause you're using me...
Aileen: NO! I...
Selby: BECAUSE YOU'RE *FUCKING USING* ME...
Aileen: [grabs her head holding her up close] BECAUSE I *FUCKING KILLED* SOMEONE, ALRIGHT?

Aileen: [points to the bartender] You owe me change!
[pause]
Aileen: Fuck it. I'm outta here!
Selby: Oh, are you sure-
[touches Lee's shoulder]
Aileen: [rises from chair and pushes Selby off] GET YOUR FUCKIN' HANDS OFF ME, YOU DUMB DYKE! I'm not gonna fuck you for a fucking beer, alright? So, stop wasting your fuckin' time!

Aileen: [both characters break down in each other's arms] You'll come back to me and, you'll come back?
Selby: [pause] Okay.
Aileen: This will all, this will all pass, you know? You can go back home for a while, and when you come back here- and we, and we go far far away...
