Liz : Sometimes I want to go away. It's not you, Billy. It's this town. It's the people we know. I don't like knowing everybody, becoming a part of things. Don't you know what I mean?
Billy Fisher : Yes, I do, Liz. I do.
Liz : What I'd like to be is invisible. I'd like to be able to move around without having to explain anything.
