My favorite scene from a stellar film.
"It's the loneliest feeling in the world
to find yourself standing up
when everyone else is sitting down.
To have everybody look at you and say,
"What's the matter with her?"
I know what it feels like.
Walking down an empty street,
listening to the sound of your own footsteps.
Shutters closed,
blinds drawn,
doors locked against you.
And you aren't sure whether you're walking toward something,
or if you're just walking away.
...But all you have to do is knock on any door and say, "If you let me in, I'll live the way you want me to live, and I'll think the way you want me to think," and all the blinds'll go up and all the windows will open, and you'll never be lonely, ever again. "
