Tom : Why is emotion some kind of mental illness with you?
Lila : It is if you indulge in it all the time. Don’t you think I want to freak out? Don’t you think I want to lose my shit? Why do you get to be the one that drinks too much, that says scandalous things, that has wild mood swings? Has it ever occurred to you that those are freedoms afforded to you by me? Has it ever occurred to you that my emotions are just as intense? I just work harder to control them.
Tom : But why? You don’t have to. I wish that you would lose it more.
Lila : Who? Who should I lose it to? My mom? My brother? You? Take a look around you Tom, somebody’s gotta keep their cool.
Lila : (screaming) AAAAAAARRRGGHHHHH
