Let's Go Back

Lily: Let's go back, Tommy, just for one night. Back to when everything was simple. Back to when we were too young to even think we were in love. Back to the times when if we fell we just jumped back up. We just stuck a bandaid on the scratch and kept playing. The simple times, Tommy. I miss them now. Everything is complicated and everyone expects too much. They want you to give everything you have. I want to back to when no one expected anything. When, if you messed up your mom would just kiss you on the nose and ell you that you'd do better next time. I miss those times.

Tommy: Come on, Lily, all I wanted to do then was ride the faris wheel and eat cotton candy at the carnival.

Lily: And, all I wanted was for you to want me to go with you. To ride the faris wheel. Why did you have to make it complicated? Why does everything become everyone's business now? There' just no winning anymore.

Tommy: There never was, Lily. They just let you think you'd won so that you'd like them. Guys aren't like that anymore and you can't stand it. They expect you to like them because they're them. And, you want the same for them. So, why do they still have to let you win?

Lily: They don't, Tommy. You don't. I don't want to win. I just think that someone deserves to win. Maybe not me and maybe not you, but someone should.

Tommy: For every winner there's ten losers, Lily. Do you think someone deserves to lose at much as someone else deserves to win?

Lily: I do. Not everyone can win, but that doesn't mean that everyone else has to lose, Tommy. Some people chose not to play the game. They play it safe and let their lives slip away. That way they won't have to worry about losing. But, there is always someone who deserves to win.

Tommy: Always?

Lily: Yes, Tommy. Just like there is always someone who deserves to lose. People do bad things. Bad people. They lose. To win you must help others win.
