Rachel Row

See, Dr Figure was a no-medication type of guy and all the hard core suicidals in his group - now including myself - had agreed not to kill or harm themselves before January 1st. I mean, can you imagine someone dead, hanging from the light fixture in their room, thinking, If my doctor finds out about this, I'm FUCKED."

Dr. Figure
What would you do if you were allowed home for the afternoon?
Dr. Figure
Okay. Uh - uh, just one thing. I wanted to propose something. It's like a pledge between doctor and patient. We nominate a day, like three weeks from now - like New Year's Day - and you mustn't harm yourself until that day. You have to stick to it. What do you think about that?
Jonathan
Yeah, I think it's a fuckin' ridiculous idea.
Dr. Figure
It's been known to work.
Jonathan
It won't work.
Dr. Figure
Might. Why don't you think about it?
Jonathan
Okay, hang on.
[sarcastically]
Jonathan
Um, I've thought about it. Fuck, you made a medical breakthrough. Well done, Doc.
Dr. Figure
Okay, well, we'll talk about it more after the session.
Jonathan
Well, you've given me the will to live and I want to thank you for that.
Dr. Figure
Then, after that, I will show you the benefits of being more sparing with your sarcasm. Okay? See ya.
Jonathan
Fuck you.

[after Toby has killed himself]
Jonathan
You can never really know what was going through a person's mind at that exact moment. If they survive, they'll never tell you. If they succeed, all you can do is spend the rest of your life feeling guilty. You're only concern can be for the people they leave behind. They're the ones to look out for.

Rachel Row
It's beautiful here.
Jonathan
Can't take all this on your own.
Rachel Row
So you are all good now? Too many near death experiences you are beginning to think twice.
Jonathan
You wanna know the truth? If it's a matter of life and death between people like you and me, then I want to outlive you. And I want to see what happens to you. 'Cause I like ya.
Rachel Row
I don't know.
Jonathan
What if we are still together in a year?
Rachel Row
Would we be?
Jonathan
I can see it happening.
Rachel Row
I don't know. So do you think you love me?
Jonathan
I know I love you.
