Quotes[]
BONNIE: If it's street noise you're worried about, don't. The only people who drive by here are the ones going to the burial park.
ROSS: I'm sorry? Did you say--graveyard?
BONNIE: So you write about--drugs?
ROSS: (Mumbles) Write what ya know.
BONNIE: Excuse me?
ROSS: Uhm--I said--it’s the drama of our times.
ROSS: This is my vision! I'm gonna wind up like you! A writer. With addictions. Dying young. Of course! It's a sign. It's a--a chance to make a change!
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD: Mustn’t jump to conclusions now, old boy. That’s a bit too Dickensian.
EDGAR ALLAN POE: Though all of us here did indeed die fairly young due to our pernicious habits.
