Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Can I say something? Jimmy, from now on, you stay away from me. I've wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you. Kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all of your color and life. I used to think that was the real you when you smiled, but now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.'
2. 'Sometimes I feel there is a hole inside of me...An emptiness that, at times, seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. And the moon tonight: there's a circle around it - a sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole...of not going to sleep each night wanting, but still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know...maybe I've had my happiness. I don't want to believe it, but there is no man...only that moon.'
3. 'I hate the way you talk to me. And the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big, dumb combat boots. And the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick. It even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh. Even worse when you make me cry. I hate that you're not around. And the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.'
4. 'I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from here is a choice I leave to you.'
5. 'It's me, I'm cruising around, it's pretty late. I know I haven't called you lately. I guess I didn't want to be reminded of the Diane nightmare. By the way, I hardly remember her, I wiped her from my mind, I don't remember the time or place when I knew. This is it, the sight of our controversial first date. I met her in a mall, I should have known our relationship would be doomed. To our left we have, the street where she broke up with me, and there's the path we took. Corey, I guess in a way, I blamed you, I held it against you, you let me send that letter. I don't know, I thought it was the right thing too. I think I know too many girls, I should hang out with more guys. I should be like one of those guys who hangs out at the AM-PM, or the Gas 'N' Sip on a Saturday night. I don't know, do guys like that really know all the answers?'
6. 'The man of my dreams is almost faded, now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man, each woman dreams of in the most secret and deepest part of her heart. I could almost see him now before me. What would I say to him if he were really here? Forgive me, I've never known this feeling. I've lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder that I fail to recognize? You brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all, to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There's so much to say...and I can't find the words...except for these...I love you. That is what I would say to him if he were really here.'
7. 'Now wait a minute, there might be. This afternoon, I couldn't decide between a turkey burger and a tuna melt, but my life made sense. And now I know exactly what I want, and my life doesn't make any sense. And I was doing fine this afternoon, I was doing great! That was me then. But I don't know, somewhere between the tuna melt and your aunt's tamales...I mean, I was afraid that I had already met the woman of my dreams at the dry cleaners or something and I was just too busy to notice. But now I'm here and I see that that's not true because...it's you. Isabel Fuentes, you're the one! You are everything I never knew I always wanted. I'm not even sure what that means exactly, but I think that it has something to do with the rest of my life! And I think we should get married. Right now!'
8. 'I have always heard that your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches forever, like an ocean of time...for me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars...and yellow leaves, from the maple trees that lined my street..or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper...and the first time I saw my cousin Tony's new firebird. And Janie...and Janie. And...Carolyn. I guess I could be really pissed off about what happened to me...but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like the rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry...you will someday.'
9. 'My story starts at sea...a perilous voyage to an unknown land. A shipwreck. The wild waters roar and heave. The brave vessel is dashed all to pieces, and all the helpless souls within her...drowned. All save one: a lady...whose soul is greater than the ocean and her spirit stronger than the sea's embrace. Not for her a watery end, but a new life beginning on a stranger shore. It will be a love story for she will be my heroine for all time. And her name will be...Viola...'
10. 'Get busy living or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. For the second time in my life, I'm guilty of comitting a crime. Parole violation. Course, I doubt they're going to throw up any road blocks for that. Not for an old crook like me. I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.'
