ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT: FLYING, MANEUVERING JUST RIGHT

 

Solveig Dommartin: i am a BEAUTIFUL woman. i'm just about the most beautiful woman you're liable to come across in a lifetime.  but what's more beautiful is my final monologue i say to the ex-angel Bruno Ganz in Wings of Desire.

Wim Wenders: you are solving my muse problem. you are my sun. you can be in my movie.

Solveig: i'm not one of those women that needs to fall in love and be dominated by a man. i trapeze ALONE. a trapeze artist flies higher than an angel. as long as my friend Butch Vig's band is in it. i watched Martin BEFORE it went to UPN...

Wim: your eyes hypnotize me in black-and-white!!!

Solveig: my eyes are that green that's mined from Oz. you are MY MAN. you will NEED me. i saw you in a dream. the entire city of Berlin in this bar conspired to bring us together. 

Anthony Bourdain dancing awkwardly in an African gold chain from his nose to his nipple to warmed-over techno: do you believe in love?...

Wim: so i won't be the dom in bed? that's good, i got my friend Carrie Fisher's brass slavegirl armor in my garage.

Solveig: you'll be the vinegar in bed. your name sounds like a window. a window i won't jump from. for you see i played it just right, i maneuvered it so i'd be your ingenue at just the right moment in time. i was fresh-faced in need of my first movie, you had a few hits as a director but not that BREAKTHROUGH as an auteur.

Wim: and it's been happily ever after ever since. you traveled the world with me you lucky girl.

Solveig: what's a career when you have love?

Wim: were you ever the submissive?

Solveig: only when i was on the trapeze. to the stick. i was at the whim of gravity...

Gene Rayburn: why does everyone hold their card UPSIDE DOWN? that bothers me at night.

grandma: i'm wearing my going-out top to go out on top.

Melissa Maker: in a party top at the funeral...

Chelsea Football Club: our logo? we're still the only volleyball club in Britain...

Melissa Maker: 2 days? i didn't post anything on Instagram for 2 days? that means it wasn't just sex this weekend, there was cum on my tits. on the works of spiritual clay that are my tits this weekend...

Sandy McLeod: i'm playing Ms. Krause in the new CBS sitcom pilot this Fall. Krause's Kids or Krause is Krabby or Krause is Knuts or But Soft, Krause. i got those Ms. Krause LIPS!!! pouting with a scowl at my desk as i bemoan why my students call King Arthur's father Mr. Pendragon. it's Mr. Uther-Pendragon!!! future episodes will explore my past as a Shakespearean stage actress in a traveling theatre troupe caravanning from community college to community college performing on their empty stages. that gauzy opening scene of a classroom...

  

Billy Corgan and D'arcy in their Columbo coats search for clues to solve a murder in a local mountain town by going to the local morgue where they meet Peter Falk. then to the local coffee shop where they meet Peter Falk. 

Peter Falk: this has become my coffice.

the music in the background is not that spacey Twin Peaks score but rather "By Starlight..."

Rolling Stone review of Sam Smith's latest record: this boy wants dick!!!

Sam Smith: come on, bruv, at least talk about my hazel eyes.

Helena Humphrey: in these fraught times, should i really be driving a Formula 1 car on the slim streets of Washington, D.C.? it's not like Bill Clinton is President and life is boring...

road movie: has to have a scene where a local band plays a live show on a Saturday night at a local bar. the local band is the Talking Heads...

young Ray Liotta in Something Wild: i am the scariest actor we have. i'm a handsome man which makes me alluring to you. my eyes are wild and strange. my laugh is unnatural.

Bret Easton Ellis: there has been SO much written about me in Vanity Fair. all speculative fiction. the other Rat Pack were assholes. they didn't let me in their little club. i'm the only one with the stones to write about the sociopathy of the rich. the microfights between long friends. my male characters are named Blane. i invented "when'd you get back?"...

Zlatan: Zlatan is not wearing the bra. you want Zlatan's stats? you want Zlatan not to have a cramped calf? invisible laser in Zlatan's brain will get you the information.

Don & Connie's: we're the only mini-mart that has our arcade cabinets of Defender and Galaga OUTSIDE.

the Tin Man: i was the first NYC street mime on Columbus Circle...

stained glass: it's either a church or Medieval Times.

Michael Weiss: Instagram is the Law of Eternal Recurrence.

Nietzsche: yeah it's just reels of the same person saying the same thing...

Erling Haaland: i cut my hair. no wonder we're losing, i cut off my Viking locks!!! i shaved my head like Kurt Cobain. all my power comes from my hair. Norway has no monks, the monasteries get too cold. when i do a header now, it feels weird...

Talia the cat: yeah get the unscented kitty litter, no harsh chemicals or dyes. look at me, my fur is perfect, my fur is precious, i don't need to dye it a Jem color to stand out. i don't need to be a punk cat.

Trinity the cat: it's not THAT lightweight, don't hold it with your pinkie finger, you're gonna break your pinkie finger!!!

Talia: just clay in the kitty litter for artistic texture.

Bjork: the unscented kitty litter still has that trace smell of bubblegum...

Wim Wenders: why does a kitchen trashcan have those ridges inside of it? they will just tear a hole in the trashbag!!! toss the light kitty-litter carton up in the air, FLIP it upside-down to put in the save bin like a circus performer...

Wim Wenders: taken from us too soon. ironically YOU were the one who had to become an angel. you were too beautiful to remain human.

Solveig Dommartin: i can now be alone in the world, with you.
