Ricky Fitts [Wes Bentley]: It was one of those days when
it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in
the air, you can almost hear it, right? And this bag was like,
dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For
fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire
life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that
wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's
a poor excuse. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember...
Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't
take it, like my heart's going to cave in.
-- Alan Ball. movie, American Beauty (1999)
