unbearable heaviness of being

Brenda: Wow. How long have you hated me like this, Nate?
Nate: Oh, I don’t need to hate you. You do a pretty damn good job of hating yourself.
Brenda: You picked me, you know!
Nate: Yeah, well, only because I had no idea how fucked up you really are.
Brenda: That’s bullshit. You knew and you loved it, because it made you feel good about yourself.
Nate: Oh god, you are so full of shit!
Brenda: You just can’t see it because you’re so in love with the idea of ‘Nate the good guy’, ‘Nate the hero’, ‘Nate the fucking saint’ with the fucking great hair cut. The truth is, you would run from real love if it ever came at you.
Nate: Real love? What the fuck do you know about real love?!
Brenda: Yeah, real love! With the shit and the neediness and the ugliness and the responsibility. You would fucking run and you know it! The only reason you stay with me is because I was never really here.
Nate: You know what? Take your ugly fucking ring.
Brenda: Don’t you throw that ring at me! That’s such a fucking cliche, I’ll fucking barf.
Nate: [throws the ring] There. Barf.
