Talking to a Stranger

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
I mean is it my fault? Misguided, too young to know, mistaken, too proud to listen, mislead, careless of danger, misunderstood, misjudge, misbegotten.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
This is one of my really ugly days.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
You see, all stretched and the lines - well I know, laugh lines, but who needs them?

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
Where was I last night?

Jess:
I was wondering.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
My hair. Maybe I was tarred and feathered. Was I, Jess, tarred and feathered?

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
I wish I didn't believe absolutely everything absolutely everyone tells me.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
I'm a great disappointment to my mother.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
It's alright for you. You look at you in the mornings. I have to look at me.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
I should be dead.

Alan Stevens - Brother:
What?

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
Well, you know, just a little maybe, around the edges.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
My mother can see a baby clear ten months away.

Terry Stevens - Daughter:
I am a morass - it's a good word. A self-pity. Yes I am. That's how I live. That's how I live from day to day. You'll live and I'll live and you be whatever you are and I'll be whatever I am cos that's the only... do you think I want to be like this? Every day when I wake up I think: today I'll be different, today I'll be happy, today I'll sparkle. Today... By ten o'clock it's gone. I'm dull, I'm dead, I'm me. I can't be different. Oh I can be what you want when I'm with you and I can be what he wants when I'm with him. But I'm not with him and I'm not with you all the time. I'm with me and I know and that's it. I mean that IS IT.

Terry:
"I don't even like you very much."
