[after their science fair idea has been stolen by Roger Beekman's team]

Olivia: Maybe there's still hope.

Chuck Noblet: Hope? You fool. Don't you know death when you see it? I'm being punished. You have no idea of the terrible things I've done. Curse God and die!

Olivia: Why, this is very midsummer's madness.

Feste: Good madonna, why mournest thou?

Olivia: Good fool, for my brother's death.

Feste: I think his soul is in hell, madonna.

Franny: Why are you hiding?

Olivia: I haven't seen any of these people in years. I don't feel like being judged.

Franny: You want me to tell them to leave? I will. Look at you.

[walking closer]

Franny: Last time I saw something so perfect, you were in there. And I knew... I knew you'd be someone very special. And I'm never wrong.

Olivia: [to Franny] I'm ready to help you. But I will not keep feeling sorry for you. You need to grow up.

Olivia: [Olivia trying different hats on Lorenzo, left by Countess Nunziante in storage] Let me see this one. You know, I was doing photography a while ago. And video art. I even had some exhibitions. I won an important award when I was 18. It's true. I went to Los Angeles.

Lorenzo: Yeah, right.

Olivia: I did. But then I got messed up with dope and I stopped. The pictured that you saw are part of a series called 'I am the Wall'.

Lorenzo: What wall?

Olivia: It's a metaphor. Basically it's me becoming that wall, and entering the wallpaper, the plaster.

Lorenzo: Like a lizard.

Olivia: No, not like a lizard. In fact, I wanted to dematerialise. Me and you, if we didn't have our own point of view, we'd be the same, right? Without a point of view, we'd stop fighting each other, and accept reality for what it is, without judging it. Like... do you know Buddhism?

Lorenzo: But your not a Buddhist.

Olivia: Aren't I?

Lorenzo: No, you're always angry.

Olivia: It's not easy being a Buddhist. Besides, it's drugs that made me nasty. Before, I could pass through walls.

Lorenzo: Yeah, right.

Olivia: It's true. Do you like this dress?

Lorenzo: It's beautiful.

Olivia: Do you want me to put on a different one? Countess Nunziante was my size.

Lorenzo: All right.

Olivia: Ok.

Lorenzo: Who are you texting?

Olivia: My friend with the horses. Trying to set up a meeting for tomorrow. Know a nice bar where he can come and pick me up?

Lorenzo: Bar Aphrodite, in Piazza Verdi. They make good sandwiches. Is he your boyfriend?

Olivia: No, I had an affair with him, but he was with someone else when we met.

Lorenzo: Did he leave her for you?

Olivia: No, he cheated on her with me. After we met, we couldn't live without each other. But two months later be went back to her.

Lorenzo: Were you upset?

Olivia: A little, but I understand. No one breaks up for a junkie, obviously. But two weeks ago he sent me a message. He said he'd made up his mind, and wants to get back with me, if I kick the habit.

Lorenzo: Mmm... What's he like?

Olivia: Tall, curly hair, green eyes. He's a graphic designer in Rome. But he wants to quite everything and move to the country with me.

Lorenzo: Where?

Olivia: In Maremma. One of his relatives owns a farm. Maybe we could work there. It'll be a change of air. I've been on drugs for so long, I can't imagine how it is being around a normal person.

Lorenzo: Why?

Olivia: Because nothing touches you when you're high. You don't feel anything. Nobody can hurt you when you're high.

Lorenzo: Isn't that cool?

Olivia: No, because you're indifferent. And indifference is not a good thing. You become cold and nasty. Like me!

Lorenzo: Are you asleep?

Olivia: No.

Lorenzo: Promise me something?

Olivia: What?

Lorenzo: That you'll never take drugs again.

Olivia: I swear. And will you promise me something?

Lorenzo: Yes.

Olivia: Stop hiding. Shit, you're growing up now. Get a life. If you take a blow once in while, it's no bid deal. Look at me, I'm covered in bruises.

Lorenzo: But you have nine lives like a cat.

Olivia: Do you promise?

Lorenzo: Yes.

Olivia: It's late. let's get some sleep.

Mia: I don't know what's wrong with you people. There's something dead, and it reeks.

Olivia: You're just extra sensitive right now. There's no smell.

Mia: [after finding the trapdoor to the basement and opening it] What's your medical diagnosis now?

Olivia: It fucking stinks.

Olivia: [after Mia scalded herself in the shower] No one could have known she was going to do this.

Natalie: No, YOU should have known! We've all been following your lead since we got here!

Olivia: [sees Eric reading through the Naturom Demonto] Eric, what are you doing? I thought I told you to throw that away. You should be down there helping your friend clean up that mess.

Eric: I don't know who you're talking about.

Olivia: Come on, don't act like you don't care about him. I know you do.

Eric: Well, I think we can all agree that he stopped caring about us for the past freakin' century.

Olivia: Well, he's here now.

Eric: Yeah... truly amazing.

Student on stairs: So how's the Little Mother?

Olivia: Get knotted!

Olivia: Well, we all have to do something.

Will: You're not going to go out on the ice, are you?

Olivia: We used to skate hear all the time!

Will: That was before Global Warming.
