''If it's what you truly want ... I can wear her skin over mine. Her hair over mine. Her hands as gloves. Her teeth as confetti. Her scalp, a cap. Her sternum, my bedazzled cane. We can pose for a photograph, all three of us. Immortalized ... you and your perfect girl.''

''Why can't you see me? Why can't you see me? Why can't you see me? Everyone else can.''

''The audience applauds ... but I can't hear them.''
