“The Other Side of the Mountain Part II” Quotation
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007John Boothe:
I need you, honey.
Jill Kinmont:
You don’t need me. You’re whole. You’re normal. You’ll be fine.
John Boothe:
You don’t understand. See, all my life I’ve never had anybody. And lonely… I’ve been so lonely… except with you.
Jill Kinmont:
Because I’ll die the next time. I know I will. I came so close to it the other times. After Dick, I went into pills. After my father it was worse. I stopped wanting to teach. I didn’t even paint. You have no idea how hard it was to want to come back. To find something… anything… that mattered to come back to. I love you, but I can’t have you. I can’t have anybody.
Jill Kinmont:
Every man I’ve ever loved has died.
Jill Kinmont:
You had no right! You had NO right!
John Boothe:
No right to what? To almost die? Or to come so close to doing it to *you* again?
June Kinmont:
He’s following us.
Jill Kinmont:
Keep driving, Mom.
John Boothe:
You better goddamn PULL OVER and TALK to me goddammit!
Jill Kinmont:
Don’t stop, Mom.
John Boothe:
Look! I’m not Dick Buek! I’m not gonna die doin’ loop-the-loops in the Donner Pass!
Jill Kinmont:
Pull over, Mom!
