Some Velvet Morning

Velvet:
What are you so angry about, Fred? So bitter. I haven't done anything.

Fred:
So what? Sh*t happens to people who haven't done anything all the time. What does it matter? It just depends on how we deal with it, whatever lands at our feet.

Velvet:
Is that right?

Fred:
Yeah, that is right. That's the truth. The lesson is in the struggle. That's what makes us shine, or roll over and die like little b*tches in the dirt with our guts exposed and flies shitting in our open mouths.

Velvet:
[to a very judgmental Fred, after she tells him he's only one of several older men she's had affairs with]... You use what you have, Fred, and that's what I did. Chris is good with computers, and so he gets paid for that; and you're an attorney, and that's your gift, ya know. And I have tits, and I'm not sorry that I let men use me once in a while. You can try and make me feel guilty, and tell me what I did was a bad thing, but it wasn't. It wasn't for me. And you may not like it or understand it, but I did what I had to do at the time. I still do from time to time.
