• [Young Joy to Joy during a nightmare] When you're hiding, you're safe, because people can't see you. But the funny thing about hiding... you're even hidden from yourself.

Dialogue

Neil: I guess you could say we're friends in the commerce.

Joy: Friends in commerce. Yeah.

Neil: So, let's promise each other, that if one day, and that day may come, that we become adversaries in commerce, that we remain friends. That's a true friendship, indeed.

Joy: Friends in commerce. I agree, let's shake on it.

Neil: Here we are.

Joy: Here we are. Adversaries in commerce.

Neil: Adversaries in commerce. And friends.

Joy: Yes, and friends.

Neil: I'm gonna tell you somethin', but you didn't hear it from me.

Joy: I don't know who you are or what you're talking about.

Neil: That's what I wanted to hear.
