My Own Private Idaho

Mike Waters:
This chick's living in a new car ad.

Scott Favor:
It's when you start doing things for free, that you start to grow wings. Isn't that right, Mike.

Mike Waters:
What?

Scott Favor:
Wings, Michael. You grow wings, and become a fairy.

Scott Favor:
I never thought I could be a real model, you know fashion-sh*t, cause I'm better at full body stuff It.8 okay so long as the photographer doesn't come on to you and expect something for no pay I'm trying to make a living, you know, and I like to be professional 'Course if the guy wants to pay me, then sh*t-yeah. Here I am for him. I'll sell my ass, I do it on the street all the time for cash. And I'll be on the cover of a book. It's when you start doing it for free that you start to grow wings, Right, Mike?

Gary:
Dude, if we can't steal from them going into the bar, Dude, we can get them coming out! See, Bob-dude?

Mike Waters:
I love you, and you don't pay me.

Scott Favor:
I only have sex with a guy for money.

Mike Waters:
Yeah, I know.

Scott Favor:
And two guys can't love each other.

Mike Waters:
Yeah.

Mike Waters:
Well, I don't know. I mean... I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me.

Scott Favor:
Mike...

Mike Waters:
I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.

Scott Favor:
Why, you wouldn't even look at a clock unless hours were lines of coke, dials looked like the signs of gay bars, or time itself was a fair hustler in black leather.

Scott Favor:
Getting away from everything feels good.

Mike Waters:
Yeah, it does.

Scott Favor:
When I left home, the maid asked me where I was off to. I said "Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day."

Mike Waters:
You had a maid. If I had a normal family, and a good up-bringing, then I would have been a well-adjusted person.

Scott Favor:
It depends on what you call normal.

Mike Waters:
Yeah, it does. Well, you know. Normal. Like a mom and a dad and a dog, and sh*t like that. Normal. Normal.

Scott Favor:
So, you didn't have a normal dog?

Mike Waters:
No, I didn't have a dog.

Scott Favor:
Didn't... or... didn't have a normal dad?

Mike Waters:
Didn't have a dog or a normal dad anyway, yeah. That's alright. I don't feel sorry for myself. I mean, I feel like I'm... I feel like I'm... you know... well-adjusted.

Mike Waters:
This is a nice home. Do you live here?... I don't blame you.

Mike Waters:
I've been tasting roads my whole life.

Scott Favor:
When you wake up, wipe the slugs off your face. Be ready for a new day!

Mike Waters:
I'm a connoisseur of roads. I've been tasting roads my whole life. This road will never end. It probably goes all around the world.

Daddy Carroll:
I am so lucky, i was born on April 4th 1944, thats 4.4.44, if you add that up it comes to 16: 1-6, one plus six is seven: luckiest number of all.

Mike Waters:
You know your Math.

Daddy Carroll:
It's more than math Mike, it's... imaculate perfection!

Gary:
Hey man, did you get into that Sinade O'Conner concert last night?

Mike Waters:
To the Sinade?... what?

Gary:
you know, the chick with the bald head.

Mike Waters:
I've never been to a concert before dude.

Richard Waters:
That guy. He was your real dad, Mike.

Mike Waters:
Don't f*** me in the head anymore man! I know the f***ing truth! I know who my f***ing real dad is!

Richard Waters:
Who?... Who?

Mike Waters:
Dick, you. Richard, you're my dad. I know that.

Richard Waters:
You know too much.

Jane Lightwork:
I'm the one who heard him cry out last night. He said "God, God, God..." three or four times. And when I got there I put my hand into the bed and felt his feet. And they were cold as stone. And I checked the rest of his body. And it too was as cold as stone...

Scott Favor:
But how could you see green if it was so dark you could not see your own hand?

Scott Favor:
Look Mike, sandwiches!

Mike Waters:
How'd we get home?

Scott Favor:
That German guy. Hans. He brought you downtown, you were passed out. He said he was heading to Portland, so I asked him for a ride.

Mike Waters:
For some reason I'm forgetting a German guy named Hans.

Scott Favor:
Well. You were sleeping.

Mike Waters:
How much do you make off me while I'm sleeping?

Scott Favor:
Just a ride, Mike. I don't make anything. What, you think that I sell your body while you are asleep?

Mike Waters:
Yeah.

Scott Favor:
No, Mike. I'm on your side.

Mike Waters:
If I had a normal family, and a good upbringing, then I would have been a well-adjusted person.

Scott Favor:
[Laughs] Depends on what you call normal.

Mike Waters:
Yeah, it does. Well, you know, normal, like, like a mom and a dad and a dog and sh*t like that. Normal...normal.

Scott Favor:
So you didn't have a normal dog?

Mike Waters:
No, I didn't have a dog.

Scott Favor:
Didn't have a... a normal dad?

Mike Waters:
Didn't have a dog or a, or a, or a normal dad. anyway, that's alright. I don't feel sorry for myself, I mean, I feel like I'm, I feel like I'm, you know, well-adjusted.

Scott Favor:
[Laughs] What's a normal dad?

Mike Waters:
I don't know. [pauses] I'd like to talk with you. I mean I'd like to, uh, really talk with you. I mean we're talking right now, but, you know. I don't know. I don't feel like I can be... I don't feel like I can be close to you. I mean we're close, you know, right now we're close, but, I mean, you know...

Scott Favor:
How close, I mean...

Mike Waters:
I don't know, whatever.

Scott Favor:
What?

Mike Waters:
[pause] What do I mean to you?

Scott Favor:
What do you mean to me? Mike, you're my best friend.

Mike Waters:
I know, man, I know... I know... I know I'm your friend. We're good friends, and it's good to be, you know, good friends. That's a good thing.

Scott Favor:
So...?

Mike Waters:
So I just...

[pauses]

Mike Waters:
That's okay. We can be friends.

Scott Favor:
[flustered] I only have sex with a guy for money.

Mike Waters:
Yeah, I know...

Scott Favor:
And two guys can't love each other.

Mike Waters - Yeah. [pauses] Well, I don't know, I mean, I mean for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it. [pauses] I love you, and... you don't pay me.

Scott Favor:
Mike....

Mike Waters:
I really wanna kiss you man.

[pauses]

Mike Waters:
Well goodnight man.

[pauses again]

Mike Waters:
I love you, though. [pause] You know that. I do love you.

Scott Favor:
Alright, come here, Mike.

[Pats the ground]

Scott Favor:
Let's just see. come on, man. I Just wanna see, come on.

Mike Waters:
I always know where I am by the way the road looks. Like, I just know that I've been here before, I just know that I've been stuck here like this one f***ing time before, you know that? yeah.

Mike Waters:
There's not another road anywhere that looks like this road, I mean exactly like this road. It's one kind of place, one of a kind. Like someone's face. Like a f***ed-up face.

Scott Favor:
When I left home the maid asked me where I was off to, I said 'Wherever, whatever, have a nice day.'

Scott Favor:
When I turn 21, I don't want any more of this life. My mother and father will be surprised at the incredible change. It will impress them more when such a f***-up like me turns good than if I had been a good son all along. All my bad behavior I'm going to throw away to pay my debt. I will change when everybody expects it the least.

Scott Favor:
Hey Mike, stay here and when you wake up come back into town and I'll be waiting for you. You'll be safer here in this comfy neighbourhood than in a city. I grew up in a neighborhood like this. With my dad. He has more f***ing righteous gall than all the property and people he lords over. And those he also created. like me his son, but I almost get sick thinking that I am a son to him. You know you have to be as good as him to keep up, you have to be able to lift as big a weight, you have to be able to throw that weight as far. Or make as much money. Or be as heartless. To hold your ground. My dad doesn't realize I'm just a kid. He thinks I'm a threat.
