Charlie Kaufman:
There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.
Donald Kaufman:
Oh, God. I was so in love with her.
Charlie Kaufman:
I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.
Donald Kaufman:
I remember that.
Charlie Kaufman:
Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at *me*. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.
Donald Kaufman:
I knew. I heard them.
Charlie Kaufman:
How come you looked so happy?
Donald Kaufman:
I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.
Charlie Kaufman:
But she thought you were pathetic.
Donald Kaufman:
That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.
