“Mad Sweeney: Your heart's not beating for this life anymore, dead wife. This life is done.
Laura: Only felt my heart beat one time since I died. When I kissed Shadow.
Mad Sweeney: That doesn't obligate him to feel shit. You're so worried about being alive, but to him you're already dead. Wait, you kissed him?
Laura: Yeah I just said I kissed him.
Mad Sweeney: Put your tongue in his mouth?
Laura: Just the tip.
Mad Sweeney: Was it cold and dry?
Laura: Probably.
Mad Sweeney: Did it taste like cigarettes and vomit?
Laura: I have been smoking... Perhaps I misjudged the kiss. Probably should've had some gum or a mint.”
