Closer (continuação)

Não comprei o Closer. Talvez amanhã me decida. Talvez tenha algum "medo" de rever o filme. Mas preciso, real e desesperadamente, de o fazer.
Atendendo ao comentário a um dos posts anteriores resolvi procurar o script do filme. Decidi deixar aqui duas passagens (uma acontece mais ou menos a meio e a outra já no fim do filme). Duas daquelas que mais me marcaram, embora considere difícil haver momentos não marcantes no filme. Como diz o comentário, atentem nas palavras da Alice. Acho-as como sendo cruelmente verdadeiras.

«ALICE: I'm going.
DAN: I'm sorry.
ALICE: Irrelevant. What are you sorry for?
DAN: Everything.
ALICE: Why didn't you tell me before?
DAN: Cowardice.
ALICE: Is it because she's successful?
DAN: No, it's because she doesn't need me.
ALICE: Did you bring her here?
DAN: Yes.
ALICE: Didn't she get married?
DAN: She stopped seeing me.
ALICE: Was that when we went to the country to celebrate our third anniversary?
ALICE: Did you phone her, beg her to come back? when you went for lovely walks?
DAN: Yes.
ALICE: You're a piece of shit.
DAN: Deception is brutal. I'm not pretending otherwise.
ALICE: How? How does it work? How do you do this to someone?
Dan tries to think of an excuse.
ALICE: Not good enough.
DAN: I fell in love with her, Alice.
ALICE: Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give in to this, or I can resist it." And I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one. I'm gone.
Dan blocks her exit.
DAN: It's not safe out there.
ALICE: Oh, and it's safe in here?
DAN: What about your things?
ALICE: I don't need "things."
DAN: Where will you go?
ALICE: Disappear.

Dan comes back down the hall, steals a rose from outside another room. He walks in and offers her the rose.
ALICE: I don't love you anymore.
DAN: Since when?
ALICE: Now. Just now. I don't want to lie. Can't tell the truth, so it's over.
DAN: It doesn't matter. I love you. None of it matters.
ALICE: Too late. I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.
ALICE: Here's the truth, so now you can hate me. Larry fucked me all night. I enjoyed it. I came. I prefer you. Now go.
DAN: I knew that. He told me.
ALICE: You knew?!
DAN: I needed to hear it from you.
ALICE: Why?
DAN: Because he might have been lying. I had to hear it from you.
ALICE: I would never have told you, because I know you would have never forgived me.
DAN: I would. I have.
ALICE: Why did he tell you?
DAN: Because he's a bastard.
ALICE: How could he?
DAN: Because he wanted this to happen.
ALICE (getting angry): But why test me?
DAN: Because I'm an idiot.
ALICE: Yes. I would have loved you... forever. Now, please go.
DAN: Don't do this, Alice. Please, talk to me.
ALICE: I am talking. Fuck off.
DAN: I'm sorry. You misunderstand! I didn't mean to.
ALICE: Yes you did.
DAN: I love you!
ALICE: Where?!
DAN: What?!
ALICE: Show me! Where is this love? I... I can't see it, I can't touch it. I can't feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can't do anything with your easy words. Whatever you say is too late.
DAN: Please, don't do this!
ALICE: Done.
ALICE: Now, please go, or I'll call security.
DAN: No, you're not in a strip club, there is no security.
Alice picks up the phone. He goes over and grabs it from her.
DAN: Why did you fuck him?
ALICE: I wanted to.
DAN: Why?
ALICE: I desired him.
DAN: Why?
ALICE: You weren't there!
DAN (getting upset): Why him?
ALICE: He asked me nicely.
DAN: You're a liar.
ALICE: So?
DAN (screaming): Who are you?!
ALICE (crying): I'm no one!
Alice spits in his face. Dan thinks about hitting her, and it's obvious.
ALICE: Go on, hit me. It's what you want. Hit me, fucker.
Dan slaps her, hard.»
