One Night [3.16]

- Lily Rush: Right. That was horrible.
- John Doe: Yes, it was.
- Lily Rush: You got some information?
- John Doe: [placing a shovel on a table] I buried him with this.
- Will Jeffries: Why'd you make him write his own will?
- John Doe: People should have the chance to put their affairs in order. To make sense of their lives. To say good-bye.
- Will Jeffries: Now, that's real standup.
- Scotty Valens: It was raining when you picked him up tonight. It was cold out?
- John Doe: Yes, it was very cold.
- Scotty Valens: But your car is warm. It's dry. Justin gets in, he's shivering. Maybe he's grateful for the warmth, maybe not, all that matters is he's this close. You can smell his skin, his hair, his breath. Anything can happen.
- John Doe: You're way off base.
- Scotty Valens: You like teenage boys.
- John Doe: That's not why I picked him--
- Scotty Valens: When he begged for his life, what'd you make Justin do?
- John Doe: That's not why I picked him!
- Scotty Valens: Then why pick 17-year-olds?
- John Doe: Because the little bastards think they'll live forever! But they won't.
- Scotty Valens: No. You make sure of that.
- John Doe: In the end, they give up, too.
- John Doe: They get into cars with strangers and believe they'll live forever.
- Lily Rush: You think that's a crime?
- John Doe: It is because they won't. They should know that and not be disappointed later.
- Lily Rush: Like you once were.
- John Doe: I've been dying for 26 years. I never believed.
- Lily Rush: Didn't you? And I'd give anything to never have walked into that attic. Never looked down the barrel of his gun. So I could still believe that I'd live forever. Remember?
- John Doe: No.
- Lily Rush: It's the most beautiful thing we'll ever do. Believing that.
- John Doe: I don't remember.
- Lily Rush: I do. Wintertime alone on the street learning to ride my bike. It's almost dark. I remember the wind in my face, and closing my eyes, and suddenly I'm flying. You don't hate them because they believe they'll live forever. You hate them because we once did, too.
