Peter: Sorry, I'm completely lost.

Tom Ripley: I know. I'm lost, too. I'm going to be stuck in the basement, aren't I, that's my, that's my...terrible, and alone, and dark, and I've lied about who I am, and where I am, and now no-one will ever find me.

Peter: What do you mean... lied about who you are?

Tom Ripley: I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.

Peter: What are you talking about? You're not a nobody. That's the last thing you are.
