Listen to the Musnt's
Listen to the MUSN’TS, child. Listen to the DON’TS. Listen to the SHOULDN’TS, the IMPOSSIBILITIES, the WON’TS. Listen to the NEVER HAVES, then listen close to me: Anything can happen, child. ANYTHING can be.

"The Good Night"
Gary: I can't believe you're so upset. I thought you'd be glad to be rid of her.
Paul: I am.
I am. You know, in some ways. It's just... I don't know.
I just want her to sit in her apartment, FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, you know... thinking about me.
I want her to think about how, you know... I'm the best. And to be hoping that I might come back--which I might! You know, I MIGHT come back... if there's nothing better out there.
I know it sounds crazy, but this is too much for me.
I don't want her to be happy!
Does that sound selfish?
Gary: ... Yes.
