Seth: In case you're worried -- Buddy's back, safe and sound. Willie: So far. Seth: You never give up, do you? Willie: Do you? Seth: Willie... let's bury the hatchet. Willie: Where?
Kate: Buddy... I think if you'd just let yourself get angry, you'd feel a whole lot better. Buddy: What does angry have to do with it? Kate: If anybody treated me like that, I'd be fit to be tied. Buddy: Well, I'm not you. I'm just some dumb kid who fell for a line that some creep was handing out. Everything's all my fault. The money, everything. Kate: Oh, the money isn't the important thing, darling. None of what you did or felt was wrong -- just being you. Open, generous, dear... Buddy: And dumb. Kate: Why are you covering up your feelings, Buddy? Why are you acting as if it's all your fault? Buddy: I have to. I have to, because... I believed him. I believed when he said that he liked me, that I was special, cause I felt the same way. And I can't stand to think that... that he was lying to me the whole time. Every single minute of it.
