*Eddie (Sean Penn), high on cocaine, is ranting to Mickey (Kevin Spacey), who's walking out of Eddie's Hollywood Hills home and possibly their partnership as casting directors*
"You have no feelings AT ALL!"
"No, Eddie, you know what? I, I just don't have your feelings. That's all. I have my own. And you know what? They get me by."
"So what kind of friendship is this?"
"(after a pause, then a "What can I say?" gesture) Adequate. Goodnight."
*Mickey leaves, and Eddie does more coke*

"I came to take Mr. Balford. When I saw you, I couldn't take my eyes off you. How you fought for him. And, and you looked right at me, like I was a man."
"To take Mr. Balford?"
"I was there. We're always there in every room."
"What are you talking about?"
"I was there in the stairwell when you cried for your patient. And I touched you. Remember?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I'm in love with you."
