Dialogue
[edit]- [first lines]
- Samantha: [voiceover] Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you, there's 1,000 or 3,000, or 10. So much time you can waste it. So much time, you can waste it. But for some of us, there's only today. And what you do today matters. In the moment, and maybe into infinity. But I didn't know any of that until right before I fell.
- Samantha: [Graffiti beside Samantha on the bathroom wall] Only those who attempt the absurd, achieve the impossible.
