Adaptation (2002)

Charles 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.

Charles Kaufman:
I know.
And you were flirting with her.
And she was being really sweet to you.

Donald Kaufman:
I remember that.

Charles Kaufman:
Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti.
And it was like they were laughing at *me*.(Donald and Charles Kaufman were twin brothers.)
You didn't know at all.
You seemed so happy.

Donald Kaufman:
I knew.
I heard them.

Charles Kaufman:
Well, how come you were 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. (either loved back or not)

Charles 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.
